GHB dosage
The correct dosage of GHB is crucial to achieve the desired effects and avoid side effects. GHB is often consumed in liquid form and the dosage is measured in milliliters (ml).
| Dosage (ml) | Effect |
|---|---|
| 0.5 – 1.0 | Easy relaxation |
| 1.0 – 2.5 | Sedation and euphoria |
| 2.5 – 4.0 | Deep sleep and anesthesia |
| 4.0+ | Danger of respiratory depression |
Note: The effects of GHB can vary greatly depending on individual tolerance, physical condition and the combination with other substances.
Dosage GHB
The correct dosage of GHB should always be adjusted individually. Too high a dosage can be dangerous and cause serious side effects such as unconsciousness or respiratory depression.
| Body weight (kg) | Recommended starting dose (ml) |
|---|---|
| 50 – 70 | 1.0 – 1.5 |
| 70 – 90 | 1.5 – 2.0 |
| 90+ | 2.0 – 2.5 |
Tip: Always start with the lowest recommended dose and increase it slowly to observe your individual reaction to GHB.
GHB dosage in ml
The dosage of GHB is often given in milliliters. Here is a table showing different dosages and their typical effects:
| Milliliter (ml) | Effect |
|---|---|
| 0.5 – 1.0 | Slightly relaxing effect |
| 1.0 – 2.0 | Stronger sedation and euphoria |
| 2.0 – 3.0 | Deep sleep, possibly anesthesia |
| 3.0+ | Increased risk of side effects |
GHB and GBL dosage
GBL (gamma-butyrolactone) is a precursor of GHB and is converted to GHB in the body. The dosage of GBL is more critical as it is more potent.
| Substance | Dose (ml) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| GBL | 0.5 – 1.0 | Equivalent to 1.0 - 2.0 ml GHB |
| GBL | 1.0 – 2.0 | Equivalent to 2.0 - 4.0 ml GHB |
| GBL | 2.0+ | High risk of side effects |
Attention: The conversion of GBL to GHB can lead to a delayed and potentially unpredictable effect.
GHB drops dosage
GHB is often dosed in drops, especially when taken as a solution. One drop usually corresponds to about 0.05 ml.
| Number of drops | Effect |
|---|---|
| 10 – 20 | Easy relaxation |
| 20 – 50 | Sedation and euphoria |
| 50 – 80 | Deep sleep and anesthesia |
| 80+ | Danger of respiratory depression |
BDO and GHB comparison dosage
1,4-butanediol (BDO) is another precursor of GHB and is also converted in the body into GHB converted. The dosage of BDO is similar to that of GBL.
| Substance | Dose (ml) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| BDO | 1.0 – 2.0 | Equivalent to 1.0 - 2.0 ml GHB |
| BDO | 2.0 – 4.0 | Equivalent to 2.0 - 4.0 ml GHB |
| BDO | 4.0+ | High risk of side effects |
GHB dosage in the drugstore
In the drugstore, the sale of GHB in Germany illegal. However, similar substances are sometimes sold that can have a similar effect. It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully and find out about the legal aspects.
| Product | Dosage (ml) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Substitute products | See package insert | Relaxing to sedating |
GHB application and dosage
GHB is used both medically and recreationally. The application varies depending on the purpose of use.
| Application | Dosage (ml) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Medical | 1.0 – 2.0 | Sedation, anesthesia |
| Recreational | 0.5 – 2.5 | Euphoria, relaxation |
| Potential for abuse | 2.5+ | High risk of misuse and side effects |
GBL vs GHB dosage
The dosage of GBL compared to GHB requires special attention, as GBL is more potent and the effect may be delayed.
| Substance | Dose (ml) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| GBL | 0.5 – 1.0 | Equivalent to 1.0 - 2.0 ml GHB |
| GBL | 1.0 – 2.0 | Equivalent to 2.0 - 4.0 ml GHB |
| GBL | 2.0+ | High risk of side effects |
Summary: GBL and GHB are potent substances with significant health risks if used improperly. It is important to carefully control the dosage and to be aware of the respective effects and dangers
