Effects - Coming Up

[Can'tSwim]

Someone from swimming class keeps asking me questions!

He has taken GBL a few times, but has never got a major effect. He has done research on the forum and knows about suggested doses. He also knows that first timers may not experience the buzz until after a few goes.

HOWEVER, he wants to be able to recognise the effects because he can't. What should he be looking for and when?

(I have done a search and can't seem to find the answer for my mate)

It is usually felt as a gradual intoxication with a euphoric edge.

Remember, asides from the ridiculous situation of the mainstream media labelling GHB as "liquid ecstacy", it is nothing like MDMA. It usually requires a few doses, almost akin to strong alcohol.

In that nobody should neck a bottle of vodka in one go, the same stands for GHB/GBL. A few small doses to carefully progress towards a fuller intoxication usually suffices.

Remember, if a, 'whooshy' "fuck me, SWIM is buzzing" type of high is reached, that is pretty much as far as it can go.

Any additional doses or, for that matter in the case of GBL, if the body is still converting a previous dose in-vivo, it will likely result in sleep. Deep sleep.

This is not to be confused with the media driven hysterical type of "omg he's dying, let's rush him to ER" type of "sleep".

Anybody who has overdone G a little bit *will* need to sleep for a few hours just to let it metabolise out of their system. As long as they haven't overdone it to stupid amounts or have combined it with any other CNS suppressor, they will be fine. All they will need is to be put in a comfortable position where they can breath freely and have someone keep an eye on them.

Trying to rouse somebody from this sleep may result in them being confused and agitated as they may feel *extremely* intoxicated.

P.S. Also read about Set and Setting.

If SWIY is in a bad mood when they take it, it will *not* improve that mood, in fact it may make it worse. Just like alcohol.

SWIM has done GBL about 50 times or so. And he told me the right dose would be 1.5ml and boost in an hour would be 0.5ml and that works for him.

SWIM also told that you have to look for party mood then it appeares to you.
And swim told that if you have done it enough then you know exactly how it works for you. Just keep trying and finding the right dose for you.

Thats the thing what you should say to your friend

SWIM knows that from his own exp. But sometimes if your bored and doing some GBL it may rise your mood pretty high, put the music on and let it be.

Actually swim finds that this stuff consistently is awesome. No matter what, if he is tired or stressed or angry G always puts him in a good mood and he is ready to party. It's really his favorite drug right now, even though he uses sparingly. Goes great with low dose mushrooms (about 1.1g for swim) for the right kind of party.
