Alcohol is a disgusting toxic feeling I can't stand it; just after one sip I feel my pores drying up like a prune. GHB sounds like the dis-inhibition of alcohol while having non of the toxic effects of alcohol while also remaining more cogent and more empathetic to boot.
I avoid all substances which have a heavy body load now days. The only thing I take regular currently is kratom which passes through the body real smooth.
I've tried all the other usual and some unusual suspects before leading me to wanting to try GHB; most failed for having unpleasant body load related side effects or just not effective/too weak to be anything above placebo. From what I have read GHB being endogenous to the body passes through the system in as clean a manner as could be imagined -converted to water and carbon dioxide which is breathed out by the lungs- you can't beat that in terms of clean metabolism!- which is what has led me, among other reasons, to wanting to try it over those other more likely candidates.
Some (like me) find it quite similar to alcohol depending on preexisting anxiety levels (ie if already stressed and in fight/flight mode, you'll probably be sedated initially). It is 'cleaner' than alcohol, and nice not to be 'drunk' for so many hours as with alcohol.
It can be exceptionally addictive though, and one of my best friends died from ODing despite being extremely experienced. Please be careful, whatever you decide to do.
