GHB/GBL has unfortunately been used in non-consensual drugging — sometimes added to drinks or even personal lubricants. This can lead to sexual assault, robbery, or serious harm.
Stay Safer:
- Don’t leave your drink unattended at parties, clubs, or private spaces
- Avoid pre-mixed drinks — always measure and mix your own
- If something feels off on the taste and smell, trust your gut and seek help immediately
- Watch out for friends and check in if they seem overly intoxicated
Everyone deserves to feel safe, whether partying, playing, or just hanging out. If something happens, you are not to blame — and help is available.
| STAYING | SAFE |
|---|---|
| Seek medical attention immediately for overdose; do not use other drugs to reverse effects. | Severe withdrawal symptoms occur if dependent and you miss a dose or stop abruptly. |
| Two substances mixed together (especially alcohol/ketamine) increases overdose risk significantly. | Acute withdrawal symptoms and have no GHB/GBL? Seek medical help immediately in an emergency department. It can be a very serious medical emergency. |
| Always measure doses accurately (syringe/pipette) and wait at least 2 hours before re-dosing. | Find medical support for planned detox; never attempt to stop abruptly on your own. |
| You should never use alone; stay with someone sober, as unconsciousness is common. | Employ methods to stabilize use, such as keeping a consumption diary of doses and times. |
| If sleeping, lie on your side; place unconscious friends in the recovery position. | |
| Never drink straight from the bottle; always dilute and add food coloring to prevent accidental drinking. | |
| GHB/GBL is physically addictive and dependence happens quickly; avoid daily use. |
Final Thoughts on GHB & GBL
GHB and GBL can create powerful feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and connection — especially in social or sexual settings. But they also carry serious risks, including sudden overdose, dependence, and difficult withdrawal symptoms.
Because of their steep dose-response curve, even small increases in dose can quickly lead to unconsciousness or overdose — sometimes even in experienced users.
If You Choose to Use:
- Measure carefully and start with the lowest dose possible
- Avoid mixing with alcohol, benzos, or other depressants
- Wait before re-dosing — don’t stack doses too close together
- Use in a safe space, with trusted people who can support you if something goes wrong
Overdoses can happen fast and without warning. Always watch out for yourself and others.
