GHB was a wonder drug. From the day I tried it, I never took another drink. I had a bit when I came home from work, and about twice that to go to sleep. It was great before a workout. It was NOT a date rape drug. Then big Harma found out how good it was and that they could not patent it and soon had a law passed by their brothers in crime so that you could possibly get life for making or selling it.

They tried that with kratom too but people raised a million bucks and lobbied to keep it legal federally. It also helps some people quit drinking, and with the current opioid hysteria it's all some of us have for pain.

Does GHB help with pain at all?

I didn't have any pain then but do now. It just makes you feel good or sleep depending on dosage. Also, it is a chemical that is naturally in your body. But it's not good for work as you tend to forget stuff. Calling something a "date rape drug" is so ridiculous because wine/liquor has been used for that since it was first made. Ironically, it can be had by prescription in the US, now years after it was denounced and made illegal, but it is super expensive. The irony is that it is very cheap to make. I used to make on my stove top and it took minutes. Kratom is illegal where I live and I would rather not screw around with the legal system here. Here, they do not want you to feel good. It is considered seditious. Pain is good. With GHB you have to measure the amount carefully to get relaxxxxation or sleep. A friend just grabbed my bottle, guzzled some and fell asleep on the spot. Rumors that it can be fatal are much exaggerated but never mix it with downers or pain killers, the ones that are mildly narcotic. Here the docs won't even give me ordinary codeine for my L6 back pain.

I've overdosed on GHB once. Instead of taking 5 grams for a deep sleep, I took the wrong container and chugged 22 grams instead. When I woke up, I had peed in my bed. Not too horrible for a 4x OD.
