Yes, I've used it extensively for fun as well. But that was after my 10g/night for 10 months cure for depression. I had a binder full of studies on the stuff, demonstrating how it is utterly harmless and the almost uncountable health benefits, as well as the anti-addictiveness and cure for depression properties. It was acknowledge as such in Italy back sometime in the 1990s IIRC. Dunno if it is anymore. I mean Big Pharma has got to sell their SSRIs right. I ended up recycling the paper and using the binder for something else, figuring that the studies would always remain on PubMed. Oh, how gullible I was.

I didn't know about the anti-depressive properties, though it reasons to stand considering other similar substances - ketamine (my fave and also happens to be the only thing that worked for me and is finally being embraced for chronic depression in the west), 5meo DMT (a fave), nitrous oxide (another fave, and none of these have "hangovers" and can't OD unless you go out of your way to be stupid), MDMA, psilocybin, etc. The "problem" with these is their patents don't make money for Big Pharma.

I still fear the passing out and vomiting with G. It also makes one sloppy the way drunks get, just not as stupid, and horny instead.

Maybe your research is on https://MAPS.org ? https://duckduckgo.com/?q=maps+psychedelic+research

Too tired to check on the research ATM. I just wanted to say, no, you use GHB as a cure for depression as a SLEEPING AGENT. You don't "Pass out" or whatever. You take a knock-out dose, wait until it triggers the urge to pee, go take care of that, lie down, and wake 4-5 hours later. Repeat for a full night's sleep and a good dopamine high to get you going in the morning.

Oh, I've passed out many times. Sometimes I didn't even know it. I've also pissed myself while passed out a couple times. Not a good thing, but mostly harmless. I've also thrown up, like others have - but fortunately I've never seen anyone or been one to throw up while passed out, though I've heard it can be deadly.

Yes, good sleep is critical. But sadly it's not always the cure for depression.

Are you kidding me bro. It's not the sleep. It's the GHB. It's well documented. Or was, since we live in an Orwellian world for decades already.

Okay, that makes more sense. Though sleep is still critical.

Yeah, sorry I expressed myself rather poorly... The kinds of doses that provide a cure for depression WILL knock you out, no ifs or buts. They will put you in an un-rousable sleep, or as some misinformed medical clowns put it, a "coma". It truly isn't a coma. It's simply the fact that GHB as a neuromodulator, FORCES the brain into a sleep state. It also obviously does other things at the same time, such as cure depression. I forgot if this was a very common occurrence in the Italian studies or not, but it was sufficient for it to be a recognized treatment. Oh how easily can things be changed under our feet: from harmless natural sleep aid for 65 years and cure for depression for I don't know how long, to terrible rape drug with no medical benefits in as long as it takes for a government agency to say so.

Nicely said.
