GHB — Safer Use

Safer-Use-Hinweise

Warnungen

• ⚠Combination with alcohol or other CNS depressants (benzodiazepines, opioids) is frequently fatal — this combination is responsible for the majority of GHB-related deaths
• ⚠Extremely narrow therapeutic window: the difference between a recreational dose and a dose causing unconsciousness can be less than 0.5g, and is affected by tolerance, body weight, food intake, and batch concentration
• ⚠GHB withdrawal in dependent users can cause life-threatening seizures — requires medical supervision for detox
• ⚠GHB is water-soluble and nearly tasteless — it can be added to drinks without detection; be vigilant in social settings
• ⚠Anterograde amnesia is common at recreational doses — users may not remember events that occurred while using
• ⚠Dosing is extremely difficult without laboratory-grade equipment: street GHB has variable and unknown concentration; always start with a small test dose
• ⚠Never use GHB without a sober, informed person present who knows to call emergency services if you lose consciousness
• ⚠Do not use alcohol on the same day as GHB
• ⚠Use a volumetric syringe for dosing liquid GHB; never estimate by eye — small errors cause disproportionate effects
