> gg - I have a lengthy journal article at work on GHB. I cannot remember all of the details, but I do know that there have been some sudden deaths from it. Since it is no longer legal, there will be problems with obtaining a correct dosage due to the adulterants that are commonly added.
>
> Also, I believe that GHB has been known to cause seizures and comas when mixed with methamphetamine and nausea, breathing problems, and unconsciousness (leading to it's date rate status) when mixed with alcohol.
>
> Also, GHB and two of it's precursors have been implicated in date rapes, overdoses, poisonings and deaths. Overdoses of GHB occur more commonly than with other club drugs.

THAT IS WHEN IT'S MIXED WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES, as with any drug(E.G. PHENOBARBITAL AND ALCOHOL).**********

> GHB also can cause withdrawl effects including insomnia, anxiety, tremors, and sweating.

OH, LIKE EFFEXOR AND PAXIL,PROZAC MOST SSRI'S,SNRI'S?***


Erowid is the worst resource place to obtain any credible information. That dude is into some meesed up stuff, illegal combinations that induce Neurotoxic reactions. He really loves MDMA alot too, and tells us how to make it at home.

I am only interested in pharmaceutically pure substances that are not "bootlegged" with other substances like you've mentioned above(mixing with methamphetimines,alcohol etc.).

Check this out please with and open mind. Adrafinil is made by an Orphan Company somewhere in France I think. Many people seem to be having positive results from that drug, but they have to get it out of the country, Why?

Below is just one of many journals written by very credible 'professional' references that I know personally. In fact, the whole site is dedicated to REAL Research, not a street drug user's tips on how to "trip" well and effectively(Erowid).
Also, this is far far from me trying to agree with those people on "chemo" using marijuana and pushing the issue.

Please Read With Open Rational Mind.
Research in Neuropharmacology, we are taught to look at things objectively and not formulate any opinions until the research is completed with QA testing and re-testing, right?


Below as follows:


Dumb on Drugs
How the Food and Drug Administration has transformed over-the-counter gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) into a deadly underground date rape drug

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) may be an "anti-rape" drug.

GHB is one of the few apparent success stories in the recent history of narcoleptic drug treatments. It has been extensively studied with some individuals having used the drug to control cataplexy, a symptom of narcolepsy, with good results for over 14 years.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has misled the general public, state authorities and elected officials, contributed to creation of misleading television programs and news articles, intimidated pharmacies to such an extent that some now refuse to fill legal prescriptions for GHB, and encouraged passage of ill-considered state legislation which restricts legitimate patient access, impedes research, and is likely to increase costs if GHB ever receives approval for marketing as a treatment for narcolepsy.

Some news reports have referred to GHB as a "date rape" drug. That label has been used by proponents of legislation limiting availability. However, restricted availability may be increasing the dangers of rape for some women by limiting the development and availability of treatment.

GHB is known to provide effective control of cataplexy, the symptom of narcolepsy in which the very emotions a victim might experience during an attempted rape may trigger a sudden loss of muscle control lasting for several minutes or even longer. Thus, a women who has narcolepsy may be unable to resist a rapist's assault without effective treatment.
