Misc GBL/GHB dose weight dependant?

[RoomforJello]

TLDR:Is GBL dosage that weight dependent?

I've read through some threads/forums/reports and none can confirm nor un-confirm whether body weight is an issue when dosing GBL/GHB. Some say it is, some say it isn't. Some say dose is only tolerance related, so I am a little confused.
For example I've read that 1ml=10kg so and 80kg person would need around 8ml to get a "worthwhile" effect where others get a strong effect off 1-2ml weighing around 50-70kg.

I plan on doing around 1ml-1.5ml(GBL) the first time I try it but I don't want to be caught out redosing thinking I'm not feeling it because I'm on the heavy side(would say slightly over 200lb/90kg). I also drink moderately/heavily if that even matters(don't plan on mixing), I guess it could considering both act on GABA receptors.

in my experience it isnt..i started using when i was 220 pounds and id basically give same amount to guys weighing 150..we would get the same results..i did have one buddy that weighed around 260 so he thought he would need a little more than me and he ended up 30 minutes later laying in a cornfield for about an hour until it wore off..i tried to tell him..

IME 2ml is a dose for me it no tolerance (i weigh 9+kg)

Some people like GHB. Others don't. Best way I can state it.

It's not so much weight dependent but it is FOR the people who like it.

It feels like the perfect adjunct to meth. I'm not suggesting anyone dose either - I am just stating what I like.

On paper, body weight will matter to some extent, but in practice you should always titrate your dose. Start with about 1-1.5 ml and work upwards. A more important factor is how sensitive the individual is to the GHB (their tolerance, in other words).

If you take 8 ml of GBL you'll probably end up taking a 6-8 hour nap. That's way, way too much.

i know a few people that LOVE ghb...lol..tbh i have yet to find a person that didnt like the effects assuming they took a dosage that wasnt too much or too little..

Ok thanks, yeah I thought 8ml would be a lot/too much, I was looking through some old and new threads and the dosage seemed to vary a lot, some thinking/saying it was weight related and others just tolerance, I just couldn't find a consensus. Plan on doing 1ml-2ml as suggested with food as I heard it helps with the in-vitro conversion then see about re-dosing half the starting dose at a later stage,(90-120mins) if the starting dose does not effect me as planned.

From what I've read and what belfort says, it seems that as long as you get the dosage right(which may be tricky because of the dose response curve) people seem to enjoy GHB/GBL but whether it is something I personally will like is yet to be seen I guess. I will hopefully post my experience in this thread when I get round to trying it.

Just to "re-ask", does alcohol have cross tolerance with GHB/GBL use?
I imagine it wouldn't matter "too" much as GHB has its own unique receptor but they do both act on GABA receptors AFAIK. Like I said I'm a moderate to heavy alcohol user, I don't drink every day(usually weekly/bi-weekly) but when I do it seems to be on the "binge"/higher dose side of drinking due to tolerance.
Edit: Nevermind, just looked it up, it appears alcohol doesn't have much if any cross tolerance with alcohol. Wasn't sure because alcohol acts on different receptors but because GBL/GHB acts on GABA-B its not something to worry about I guess.
