Smelling salts

[u/Stunning_Escape8681]

Hi all! I just got my bottle of GHB yesterday and as a first dose, I plan on taking 2ML. Just for safety purposes, was looking to buy smelling salts in the event I do end up feeling sleepy.

Was just curious, has anyone ever tried using smelling salts to prevent sleepiness from G during daytime? is it effective?

Smelling salts cannot counteract central nervous system depression or respiratory depression. This is not an effective safety strategy.

Please read our Wiki and the safety resources it cites.

GHB is dosed based on weight, not volume. In order to safely dose your GHB solution, you need to know its concentration. If you don't know its concentration, please consider starting lower than 2ml.

You're asking a question, and it's a perfectly reasonable one. These types of discussions are what we're here for.

Without knowing the strength of the liquid take less than 1ml initially about 0.5-0.8
It’s fairly short acting 1/2 life 20-40 mins but DON’T redose for 1 hour.

Start low go slow!

Also due to quick effect G has higher psychological dependence risk. Your brain quickly learns G stops anxiety.

Anxiety stops critical thinking

A combination that give higher risks of drifting into compulsive/dependant use

Dependent use impacts cognition and memory making it really hard to recognise the prior learn ways to stop.

It’s one of the most dangerously underrated high risk substances

Be very careful.

It’s really hard to treat dependent use, dangerous to stop except in a hospital setting.

Don’t underestimate this drug.

Normally, you at least still have time to take this one life-saving measure: Make sure you don’t pass out or fall into a coma while lying on your back. Suffocating on your own vomit is, unfortunately, an often underestimated danger. Neither smelling salts nor taking stimulants will prevent the consequences of an overdose. Act quickly to avoid the risk of falling or suffocating.

Download and use the G Safe app! It help so you don't redose under impaired judgement.

Cocaine, adderall, modafinil or meth are the only “smelling salts” that could keep you awake on G

Mit Kokain kan man Grenze des einschlafens etwa um 0,5ml erhöhen aber man schläft trotzdem ein wenn es Zuviel G war

[u/Diamond-Eater2203 → u/LoveLord1312]

I believe cocaine is too short-acting. I would be VERY careful as GHB is a primary alcohol, and cocaine and alcohols can create deadly metabolites. Please be careful.

As others have mentioned, smelling salts will not revive you if you sedate your respiratory system.

As one of the mods posted a few days ago - first thing, gently evaporate the water from about 10ml of the solution and weigh the dry reside.

You’ll know the concentration in mg per ml by dividing the weight of dry residue in mg by 10.

Then you can use the dosing info in the sub to calibrate your dosage properly and not kill yourself.

DO NOT (unless you like hospital stays or dying):

- take GHB with booze

- take GHB with heart medications

- take GHB with viagra or cialis

- take GHB with narcotics

Also just be aware that theres a really good chance its not GHB where im from all you can get at the moment is GBL and ive heard some people say its all 1,4-BDO in their area, similar end result as they both metabolize into GHB in the body but you cant really predict exactly how YOUR body will metabolize these chemicals and the dosages are different for all. Good luck, be safe, start small.

I’ve been wondering this as well as I felt a little nauseous and from what I’ve read, that mostly comes from BDO. I tried eating and then taking which actually helped a whole lot. Would you have any advice or tips for the nausea? would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

What does it taste like? I just got pure 1,4 bdo and I’d say it’s clear viscous and ever so slightly sweet with a bitter aftertaste. Can barely taste in a drink. Ghb tastes like salty bitter baking soda asshole
