Q

GHB - Questions to ask and info to share for someone’s first time

A

First— let them know you’re a huge safety nerd.

  1. Do you have an addictive personality? (If so, I do not want the karma of introducing this person to G)
  2. Are you an angry drunk?
  3. How about the contraindications
  4. Inform them, unlike other drugs, you can’t just “have more”. This is a drug where “the line” isn’t too obvious from a subjective standpoint. You need to be more scientifically aware of how it responds to your body. And then time your doses accordingly.
  5. If there’s a night where you MIGHT wanna feel “wasted” or close to it. NEVER take G. Use another medicine/drug for that: Alcohol, weed, cocaine, even Molly. Only take GHB on a “buzz” night.
  6. If you mix this with alcohol, or a benzo. You might kill yourself.
