GHB, bad for the female body?

We have talked about it, and I was considering trying Butanediol 1, 4 with my boyfriend. It was my own curiousity which led me to the possibility, but after having a talk with a girl friend of mine, I'm a little put off. She was telling me that because GHB is a drug packed with male hormones that it is seriously harmful to the female body and in addition, you can overdose with any amount since tolerance is unknown for the first time. I was looking foward to sharing this experience with my boyfriend but now I'm quite uncertain. Any drug wisdom or personal advice?
 
I actually don't know much about 1,4 butanediol or GHB, but what your friend told you sounds a little supsicious to me (especially since GHB was just approved for medicinal uses in the USA).
I have used both GHB (twice) and 1,4 butanediol ( 6 times) and never suffered any negative effects...however, I will agree that it is easy to do too much and pass out, or even do a nice recreational amount and pass out. So I would suggest you only do a small amount, say 1/2 ml of 1,4 butanediol and wait 20 minutes to see how you feel. Another thing to be wary of, is redosing too often. You should wait at least 45 minutes (and to be really safe, an hour) in between doses.
 
They may well be misinterpreting the association of GHB with bodybuilders, or perhaps confusing HGH (human growth hormone) or some other acronymized hormone with GHB.
GHB is not 'packed' with anything. This reminds me of what most pisses me off about most peoples' understanding of drugs - they think that drugs are mixtures of other compounds, which they are NOT. GHB is not a male hormone, nor does it contain male hormones - it is gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (or the sodium salt thereof) and that's it. GHB is a very simple chemical - put it this way, GHB has 4 carbon atoms and most steroids (real male hormones) have well over 20.
GHB is also a major victim of media hype, and you should research it only from scientific or unbiased mainstream sources - preferably from before about 1998 when it became classified as a 'date rape drug' and was demonized by the media.
The idea that "tolerance is unknown for the first time" is somewhat true, since you don't know what 'your' proper dosage of GHB will be before you try it -- but that does NOT mean that 1 mL or so will kill you.
As far as being female is concerned, females do usually have a slightly smaller amount of LAH (liver alcohol dehydrogenase, the enzyme that breaks down alcohol and GHB) than males, which explains why females of a certain weight can't usually drink as much as males of the same weight.
This is particularly important for 1,4-butanediol, which must be metabolized by the liver into GHB before it becomes active.
I should warn you (though you probably already know) -- and I'm only doing this because a small risk does exist -- that if you've never done 1,4-BDO before, you should understand that your inhibitions may be lowered, and that you may potentially lose consciousness if you take too much. Basically, what I mean is that if there's some things you don't feel comfortable with doing with your boyfriend, you should keep in mind that GHB or 1,4-BDO may cause you to lessen your inhibitions about doing those things. So, be careful about that. Other than those, there's not much that GHB may do to females that it wouldn't do to males as well.
 
Thanks so much for the input. I had a feeling my friend was just trying to discourage me for reasons other than the chemical nature of the drug. I'm going to do some more research on my own before I make a final decision.
Additionally, i just wanted to say that I have a very good man and he would never take advantage of me. I undertsand that my inhibitions will be lowered and that my sex drive may be increased, but that has already been calculated into the equation. ;)
 
i wouldn't fuck with 1,4. GHB, however, will not be harmful to females when done properly. yes, they do have lower tolerances though. me and my girlfriend used to do it all the time and it didn't cause her any harm.
 
My ex girl drank that shit like it was water and she still looks banging. I don't see it doing any harm to the female body. But in any case don't all drugs have some negative side effect on your health...
 
Human Growth Hormone is excreted by the body during the "deep" (non -rem) periods of sleep.. GHB disrupts sleep patters causing the rem sleep to be relpaced with "deep" sleep, therefore alot more HGH is excreted than normal. I would say this is no more unhealty to women than men. HGH I believe is used primarily in both males and females, than something like testoerone or estrogen..
 
DEpending on dosage and kind it can either just slightly relax u,give u insane prosexual prowess.make u very socialble,or put u to sleep.
NO SOURCES!!!
