Hey dudes
Im an active user of GHB so I thought Id share my knowledge..,
Personally, I find GHB to be a great drug (Im a recreational drug user). It lowers ur inhibitions, makes u feel horny, its relativily easy on your body and brain compared to alchohol, and its cheap.
But like all drugs, youve got to watch out for the psychological addiction . Ive read a couple posts by people saying that G isnt psyiologically addictive because indirect measurments of neurotransmitters effected by G intake wernt sufficent to satisfy the criteria for an "addiction".
With Scientific studies youve got to be aware of these two things (and others, but just for our use):
1) how scientists psyiologically define adddiction, or how they operationalize the variable "Addiction" so they can objectivily measure it in the experiement....... If scientist define addiction as having less than xxxx number of neurotransmitters in a given pathway or in a structure of the brain, well then thats groovey. But often, "addiction" is difficult to "operationalize" because its a complex psychological and psyiological reaction to exogenus substances. The point being, just because one scientists defines addiction in one way, doesnt make it the end all be all of how addiction should be psyiologically defined. Often variables like addiction are operationalized or defined in ways experimenters can objectivily measure with tools available, so the tools used to measure a variable like addiction constrain how the variable is defined in the first place.
2) psychological addiction can be just as strong as psyioligcally addiction.
My spelling is crap. Psychological addiction causes pysiological changes in the brain, thats why it can be just as strong as pysiological addiction. Our brains contain a neuronal pathway called the reward pathway. Certain drugs can "short circuit" this pathway or activate it, like herion and cocaine. I dont think GHB works on this pathway, but it elicits feelings of calmness, wellbeing, ect.......so its easy to understand how and why someone could become addicted to G.....it makes them feel great
I dont endorse the use of drugs. If you want to use them, youve got to use ur head. Ive found G effects my short-term -sensory memory.........like when someone speaks and im writing what theyre saying, i have a hard time remembering 3 or 4 sentances. Before i used G , no problem. I think it also effects word recall, but again, i cant be sure.
As for the people that got hooked. I beleive it. Any drug, chemical, food, substance, or matter can fuck you up if you ingest to much. If you drink to much water you can halluencinate. Everything you put into your body, interacts with your biology and ulitamately can effect howyou feel.
Moral of the story: If youve got a history of drug dependance , i wouldnt take it. It can be fun, but use it responsibly. Peace
