      Fair enough. I would gently recommend to stay away from G. It’s a dangerous and addictive drug and fairly easy to come by in big cities.

                In a post below someone shared an article about it.

                But generally I don’t speak in a way to add a peer reviewed scientific study below everything I say. Nobody does. Because it would be incredibly stupid and inefficient to do it, especially under some irrelevant comment in an irrelevant thread no one besides us will ever read. Incredibly stupid.

              I don’t think you’re promoting it, but hosting web services in Australia often gets MIB knocking on your door so I get the admin’s sketchiness.

              It is false so say it’s not addictive at all. It is pleasurable and you could form a dependency on it that could be lethal to withdraw from like all GABAergic drugs. I have personally never see that, and because if it’s short halflife it would be difficult, but it’s not hard to imagine someone getting a bit too into the pleasure.

              That said even if someone was taking it every single time they would go drinking and they did that frequently it would still be safer than alcohol.

              Still, be honest about drugs. you can fuck your life up with just about anything and nobody should use something under the false notion it’s harmless/risk free.

                Sure, but then you could say that about almost everything. It would be very hard to imagine someone getting addicted to ghb. I have never heard of that.

                I think when talking about drugs we have to be truthful. Especially to kids. Exaggerating and trying to scare with some imaginary addictive properties doesn’t work, because when some of them figure out it’s all a lie, they will not recognize other harmful patterns of behavior that might truly get them addicted.
