GHB, GBL, and 1,4 all lead you down the same path. I have tried them all. I got mine directly from the chemical manufacturer. They are all fun drugs with nice benefits, but like anything, they must be used safely. Of the 20 or so of my friends who have done G with me, only one has ever had a problem. But he gets addicted to anything. He can't have one drink, he has to drink the whole bottle. He can't do 1 gram of test a week, he has to do 2. and so on and so on. He gets caught up in everything he does. He went to rehad 3 times for G. We kept telling him just to quit and then he would G out, end up in rehab again. For a while he was taking upwards of 50mls a day! He has finally stopped taking it after all of his friends, family, and wife basically told him to either clean up or get the fuck out. His younger brother also had a problem with it. He didn't know anything about it, took 10mL of GBL, went out boozing and ended up in the emergency room. This same guy also likes to take "hits" of Test E before he goes out because he thinks it gives him an edge for "fighting" in the bars and shit. He doesn't understand the concept of PCT either and now has gyno to prove it. I think G is a great alternative to alcohol if you are informed. Start with low doses and slowly work your way up until you find a dose that gets you where you want to be. Or, you could just say fuck all this and smoke a bowl. It's your call.
