> Does this mean ad's ruin everyone who uses them, of course not. Any psychoactive substance can be abused or cause an adverse reaction. If one is prone to abusing substances, than using GHB without a doctors guidance would be a mistake.In all the info I have read regarding GHB, every single doctor who advocates its use, also warns not to use it continually throughout the day, or even once a day in large-enough amounts can cause problems. Also, they make it clear to never drive when using GHB, as it effects ones motor skills.
Buffet says- >Here's the problem I see with GHB. You feel down and pop a few prozac and guess what, nothing happens. You feel down and take a couple capfulls of your new homeade batch of GHB and wham, instant gratification. All the sudden you feel 'euphoria', something that you never feel on a day to day basis (unless on another street drug). Then, if you are like me, turn around and look at the 2 1gallon bottles of butyrolactone you bought off the internet and say to yourself - HELL, I've got about a 5 year supply!
I had so much that I could have stayed high every day all day long for 2-3 years! I couldn't believe what I had found for $140. Anyway, my point is this - if it can somehow be controlled under the guidance of a doctor within reasonable limits then great. I don't like the demonization of it, or any other chemical that has potential. If someone were to try it for depression or sleep problems, they need to get advice from someone very familiar with the drug. I really don't know where to put GHB - scheduled, unscheduled..maybe something like 'medical marijuana' in California, I just don't know. It's a tough call.

> I realize these warnings are not labeled on street ghb, and I think the lack of information on this substance is the reason many have ended up worse off for exprimenting with it.
> I truly feel sorry for the people who have written about their problems stemming from ghb addiction. I've been through a hellish experience myself due to an adverse AD reaction, and to have ones life damaged for any reason, is truly sad. Hopefully these exchanges will help inform others not to blindly take any psychoactive substance without knowing as much as one possibly can about it, and even then, things can go wrong.
