I'm a female...some of my guy friends do GHB...I wanna try it but I've been told that GHB causes weight gain and facial hair growth (ehhhh!) in females.. is this true???
 
hah, well i have alot of female friends that do GHB.. and i aint seeing no facial hair or weight gain. As far as I know there are very little to no side effects from using GHB.. Some one else may have other input

if you go to
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ghb/ghb.shtml

theres alot of information about GHB, although there are two kinds..
the street kind of GHB is a bit different coz its mixed with other substances

Im pretty sure its a myth though :)

Um.. yeah. Theres only one kind of GHB and thats.... GHB. BUT, alot of times, whats marketed on the street and in clubs as GHB is often GBL or 1,4-B. Maybe thats what you meant? BTW, if you were pretty sure that was a myth, why did you state it like it was a fact?

As for the side effects BunnyRavah is talking about, I have never heard of that. I know GHB stimulates productions of human growth hormones, but I don't know what effect this has on testosterone. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you though. I know lots of girls that do GHB and they're every bit as gurlie as they were before.
 
No you wont have any problems of that nature, however try to be sure that your getting GHB and not GBL or 1,4bd.

Heyy..... you bashing my good friend Geeble? ..Yeh so what if I have pet names.. Heh.. I take offense to that comment. :p

Well in any case, back on the subject. First of all, I'm a female and while I only have a handful of experience with GHB itself, I have gotten to know my friend (as mentioned above) GBL *very* well.. and I do know he is very closely related to GHB. Anyways, if it caused facial hair and weird crap like that I would've noticed by now.. Well I hope I'd notice, so no worries there.
As for weight gain, well, it isn't like birth control where the pounds get there on their own.. That's kind of like saying.. pot makes you gain weight. Geeble gives munchies of the worst kind.. worse than pot I've found. Much.. much worse. It makes one ravenous.. but ohhh yumm, I guarantee your food would taste that much better. I wouldn't worry much, in fact, you may find yourself getting more fit. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but GBL was once sold in exercise stores as a supplement for increasing muscle tone. I'm too lazy to verify if this statement is true, but then I never gained much weight on Geeble either. I have a very fast metabolism but even so, for what I ate I should've been a hell of a lot fatter.
Basically, as far as side effects go don't fret as long as you have a reasonable dose. I've only personally only had probs in the past with taking a bit too much before I found my sweet spot and passing out for hours at a time and/or getting sick. To be honest, I wish it had more side effects.. that's the problem with I have with it you see? It gives you better sex, better appetite, antidepressent, sleep aid and euphoria without a nasty hangover, and as far as I know, much toxic effects, so it's hard to find a reason not to.. Anyone know any aside from the fact I don't want to go all the way to Canada?
 
Nope, you won't sprout facial hair and you shouldan't gain any weight/.

Known side effects are nausea, dizziness, etc. In general though GHB is pretty free of unpleasant side effects -- especially when compared to alcohol.
 
Honestly, when I used to do GBL almost daily, I did notice that facial hair growth was accelerated. But I have never heard of weight gain due to usage of GBL or GHB, perhaps it makes you gain weight because of the severe case of the munchies that it causes... I dont know.

Be careful though, because with females I did notice that you need a lot less of a dose to feel the effects than that of a male. Try taking maybe half of what your friends take and work up, better safe than sorry, with a drug like G its always better to work up.
 
The facial hair rumour probably got started because somebody associated GHB with anabolic steroids. And that's because they both are very popular with body builders and the gym crowd.

Anabolic steroids WILL cause women to grow facial hair. But GHB is NOT an anabolic steroid.
 
Like I said, I thought that it was the GBL that was doing it when I was using it.... I never took anabolic steroids though. So I dont konw why this was happening to me.
 
I wasnt really trying to knock GBL, personaly I've tried that and GHB and found the later to be much nicer.
But I'm sure it depends on the person, I found GBL had more of the sedation and drunkeness when GHB has a nice 'high' with it. Kind of like the feeling from valium but not as sedative.

I used it daily for a while, and as mentioned before, I noticed no irregular growth of facial hair whatsoever.

I meant the rumor about facial hair was a myth..
