I hope this puts your mind at ease, unfortunately I can't offer any insight into what one might experience at high doses as I have no experience with the compound myself. Stay safe.
Death: The lowest estimated LD50 [the dose at which 50% of test subjects suffered fatal consequences] for GHB I have seen is 1100mg/kg* [1], although I believe this to be incorrect as Mamelak reports monkeys to have received 1000mg/kg without apparent harm [2]. In an average human, 1100mg/kg would be over 66g* GHB, or 22 active doses, taken all at once! If you don't mix alcohol and GHB, this just don't happen, folks.
