A detailed guide to the correct dosage of GHB - which factors
GHB dosage: How to stay safe and minimize risks
Imagine this: You're at a party, the mood is relaxed, and someone offers you GHB. "Don't worry, it's safe," says the person. But suddenly you feel dizzy and lose consciousness. What has gone wrong? The answer almost always lies in the dosage. In this guide, we explain how to dose GHB correctly - without jargon, but with clear facts and tips that you won't find anywhere else.
What you need to know before dosing
GHB is like a chameleon: in small quantities it can be relaxing, in large quantities it becomes life-threatening. The right dose depends not only on the substance itselfbut also by your body, your habits and even your environment :cite[1]:cite[3].
Factors that influence your dosage
- Body weight: The more you weigh, the more GHB your body can tolerate - but be careful: this is not a free pass for high doses! A person weighing 70 kg, for example, starts with 1-2 ml, while someone weighing 50 kg already runs risks at 0.8 ml :cite[1]:cite[4].
- Experience: Newcomers should never more than 0.5 ml even if friends claim "that's not enough" :cite[2].
- Mixed consumption: Alcohol, ketamine or tranquilizers? Even small amounts can increase the effect tenfold. A glass of beer + GHB = high-risk combo :cite[1]:cite[5].
Pro tip: How to start safely
"Start with 0.5 ml, wait 2 hours and increase slowly - even if it's difficult. Better too little than too much." (Source: Harm reduction experts from aidshilfe.de :cite[2])
Dosing table: GHB vs GBL vs BDO
Many people confuse GHB with its precursors GBL and BDO - a fatal mistake! Here is the comparison:
| Substance | Low dose | Average dose | Dangerous dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| GHB | 1-2 ml | 2-3 ml | >4 ml |
| GBL | 0.5-0.9 ml | 0.9-1.5 ml | >2 ml |
| BDO | 0.5-1 ml | 1-2.5 ml | >4 ml |
Note: These values apply to a person weighing 70 kg. If you are unsure, always take 20 % less :cite[5].
The underestimated danger: mixed consumption
"You can still have a beer", many people think. Wrong! Alcohol + GHB is the most common cause of emergencies. Why? Both substances depress breathing - together this can lead to arrest :cite[1]:cite[5].
- Never Mix: Alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines
- Careful: LSD (only in low doses after peak effect :cite[1])
- Absolute no-gos: Ketamine, ecstasy (increase nausea and confusion :cite[1]:cite[5])
FAQs: What users really ask
1. how many drops of GHB are safe for beginners?
Start with 5 drops (≈0.25 ml) and wait 2 hours. GHB often has a delayed effect - patience saves lives :cite[4].
2. can I mix GHB with energy drinks?
No! Caffeine masks the sedative effect - you take more than you can tolerate. Result: sudden collapse :cite[5].
3. is it true that pure GHB is safer?
No. Even pharmaceutical GHB (Xyrem®) is lethal in the wrong dose. Purity does not protect against overdosing :cite[3]:cite[4].
Myth vs. reality: these misconceptions cost lives
❌ "GHB has the same effect on everyone."
✅ Wrong! Genetics, stomach contents and even the time of day influence the effect. Always test new batches carefully :cite[1]:cite[3].
❌ "You can tell when you're taking too much."
✅ Dangerous fallacy! GHB overdoses often lead directly from a high to a coma - without warning :cite[2]:cite[5].
What to do in an emergency?
If someone falls unconscious after consuming GHB:
- Secure lateral position (risk of suffocation from vomit!)
- Call an ambulance (144 in Switzerland, 112 in DE/EU)
- Tell the paramedics exactly what has been consumed - No false shame! :cite[5]
