bighooter-- I found that with a bit of work I could get three distinct dosing levels from GHB/GBL:
The first one I called my 'chatty' dose. It was quite low, and pretty well just loosened me up a bit. Great for going to a club/party and dancing for a little bit. With experience, tiny booster doses could maintain this effect for quite a while. On the higher end I would start to chill out more, but still be really chatty. And randy like nobody's business.
The second one was what I called my 'couch' dose. More euphoric, but more sedative as well. Depending on what end of the dose range I was at, sometimes there would be some nausea or dizziness if I moved too quickly. This one was harder to keep going, but was great for chilling and watching a movie. Tougher to talk coherently here, but I have had some great conversations while on the lower end of the dose range. Still pretty randy usually, but less able to do anything about it
The third range was what I called my bed dose. Pretty self-explanatory. Usually what would happen over the course of an evening at home with GHB would be that I'd start with a couch dose, and then take another 1/3 dose at the 2.5 hour mark and crawl to bed. Sleep for 5 hours or so and then wake up feeling ready to run a half-marathon.
While GHB is considered to be a very weak drug, since its dose is measured in grams, it is
very dose-sensitive. The difference between a social dose and a bed dose was about 0.6-0.75 grams, which in some batches might only be 1/3 of a 'cap'. Which is why it is very important to either crystallize the ghb and measure it out properly, or titrate your dose up whenever you try a new batch. And always, always
always measure your dose. I knew of people who would just take a small swig from their G bottle, and they were always the ones passed out in the corner covered in puke and dog knows what else.
belfort-- Word. Alcohol is a poor substitute for G, but it has to do me these days. What pisses me off is that if I took G to get the same level of mild intoxication that I aim for when I drink, I would probably have 10 fewer pound of fat on me.
bighooter-- GBL is an organic solvent, and beats the shit out of your stomach. The GBL -> GHB ring opening reaction is one of the easiest to perform (but I won't discuss how to do it in accordance with BL rules), and is well worth the effort. Taking GBL pretty well forces your liver to do the conversion, and I'm sure that most of our livers could use a break. Oddly enough, I found that GBL hit me harder and faster than GHB though. That could well be psychological though, since GBL has a much stronger and more distinctive flavour.
