I took heaps of G back in the day. Good fun. Follow the rules.

No Alcohol.
Wait at least two hours before re-dosing.
When starting creep up to work out your allowed dose, eg, try 2ml, nothing, wait two hours (use a timer), try 2.5ml, nothing, wait 2h+, try 3ml, etc. Most of the girls I was hanging with were about 2ml, most of the guys 2.5-3ml. It took me a while because I was 4ml, but I'm a big dude. Some people seemed to have some tolerance or susceptibility, maybe start with 1ml if you're a smaller stature person.
You can't take more to get higher, you'll just od, it's a very binary effect. Adding another 0.5ml to see what happens is where you get in trouble. If it's happened and you're G'd, that's your dose.
Repeat the dosage testing process with new batches.

The effect itself is like being drunk, euphoric and HORNY. I stopped taking it because I was single and it was simply frustrating.

They used to give out "Say no to G" stickers at warehouse parties. Ravers would en masse slap them on people being stretchered out by paramedics.

Sounds amazing. Half a ml away from an overdose to feel as if you're drunk.

Yeah so if you're taking anything potent you should dilute it first. A dose is like 1-3 g with 7 g onwards becoming extremely dangerous.

Like alcohol you it varies based on body mass/stomach content/fatigue/random biological factors. Like only someone with a deathwish would start a night of drinking by skulling half a bottle of vodka you absolutely should not be ingesting unknown fluids you got off some random (that are hopefully dyed to prevent confusion with water/make dosing someone's drink harder) at a dose you expect to be near heavy.

In a sane world you would get like 3 packs of 1 g doses or something with childproofing. Those doses would be diluted in a larger volume of fluid. We don't live in that world so it's about as predictable as random homebrew moonshine.

As always if someone is going to take drugs they should get them tested (cantest in the act will do it if you live there), have a sober friend, and be in a safe location.

"To feel as if you're drunk" is an unfair appraisal of what being G'd feels like. I should've said it's one of the many enjoyable intoxicants that man has discovered. Half a ml is only perspective. No one is free pouring g hoping to get the correct dose, use a 5ml graduated syringe. Have you seen the amount of fentanyl it takes to kill someone, half a ml of fent would kill lots and lots of people.

I remember going to a doof in gippsland in 2010 (noise poison) and cops were searching cars on the way in (unusual for the party size) because another doof at the same site 2 weeks prior had a violent incident that was blamed on GHB. It had a bad reputation amongst people I knew at doofs.

Yeah, I love drugs and all, but this seems like too much math to do when I'm trying to get messed up. I can track X amount of drinks per hour easier.
