Are there any health hazard related to GBL not found in GHB. I've skimmed through a number of journal articles and none of the articles mention any issues specific only to GBL. All (or almost all) sources state that GBL has exactly the same effects GHB, except longer duration and shorter onset.
Now, I can think of two effects peculiar only to GBL: its ability to dissolve stuff (easily combated by not consuming pure GBL) and the mythical acidosis (stated in a number of sources, but debunked here by f&b i think. dunno where i stand on this one). Then again, many people report a number of negative effects of GBL not found in GHB. Such as joint pains, stomach problems, headache, more severe withdrawal effects and so on. I haven't found any support for these claims in literature, but I keep hearing reports on these problems from first accounts. Is there any true to these claims? Or can all these problems be attributed to placebo (ie. it is a solvent, so it must be bad type of thinking), impurities found in GBL?
