weird ghb w/ bad side effects

hi all,

this is my first post under this name but was a very active poster years ago.

so i used to enjoy ghb back when it was good and cheap, but the pricing and iffy quality scared me off. i have a friend however, who continues to use chronically. last year, he got a bad batch and suffered a psychotic break. he stopped taking it altogether for a while but then started using again, but baking the ghb into a powder in the oven. this seemed to remove the impurities and apart from occasionally nodding off, seemed to suffer no obvious side effects, though was soon dependent on it again.

so he recently received a bad batch again, and spent a couple hours reverting to a primal state (though not nearly as bad as last year), despite cooking it. i want to know if anyone knows what could be causing this. the side effects, even at just a couple doses include nodding off, twitching, excessive sweating, drooling, horrible smelling gas, transient stabbing pains in the abdomen & muscle pain. he vomited while experiencing the temporary insanity. other people who've tried it experienced similar but milder reactions, including repetitively saying "oh god" or "help me."

the powder looks similar but not quite to the usual stuff he makes. it leaves an icky greasy residue on surfaces it drops on.

i've searched the net and can't figure out what would cause these severe reactions. some other drug, some kind of impurity? please, if anyone can help, do respond. i hope to have something to tell him soon as i'm afraid he is continuing to do it as it does have the ghb effects as well. if i can't convince him to quit altogether i'd like to at least teach him how to avoid this stuff.
 
^ This is the fucking problem when the government made GHB illegal.

Sounds possibly like he just took too much G to me, because the excessive sweating, twitching (G twitches) are quite common with high doses of GHB.

Could be unreacted NaOH + GBL as well. I am not too sure. I stopped fucking around with Liquid GHB as it found it to be way TOO addictive and to cause much more side effects. (Worse withdrawals as well).

I now only use Pharmaceutical Grade Powdered GHB.
 
G is evil. Full stop. Get urself some baclofen and get off the shit. Psychotic breaks aint half the story. Those who say G withdrawals can be among the worst of any drug are true. I've been there.

As for your main question, does sound like a G overdose or even a withdrawal. And it could also be bad synthesis. You kinda answered your own questions, but - honestly - if you/he is stuck in 24/7 use get help quick.
