GHB - Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate:

     GHB's use first became widespread in 1991. It is a fatty acid
and actually occurs naturally in the human body in minute amounts.
GHB does several interesting things in the body. It causes an
elevation in growth hormone secretion, profound sleep inducing
properties and feelings of euphoria and relaxation. It was quite
legal for a very small time to buy GHB from health food stores,
but once the FDA got word of it, it was quickly removed from the
market.
     There are side effects associated with its use: Extreme
drowsiness. With an overdose: Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and
disorientation. Can cause an excessively long sleep (12+ hours).
     Nationally, GHB is not illegal to own. In fact, several
chemical companies sell it as a research chemical. Various states,
however, have laws that prohibit GHB's possession and use. This is
a misdemeanor charge, but it would be wise to check your
particular state to see for sure.

Making GHB in your kitchen:

     Making GHB in your kitchen is very simple. All you will need
is the following items: A stove, a pot to heat the solution in,
some Ph paper, and a thermometer. Two chemicals: Gamma Butyrol
Lactone and Sodium Hydroxide. Note about the chemicals. These will
be very easy to find, almost everyone sells Sodium Hydroxide
(Potash, Caustic Soda etc.) You will need to find the solid (NOT
liquid) NaOh. Just ask for Caustic Soda and they will understand.
The Gamma Butyrol Lactone is a little different. Most companies
will have it, however it could be called something else, like: 4-
Hydroxybutyric Acid gamma-Lactone. The "gamma" part is usually not
spelled out, but is a strange looking "v". It is a colorless
liquid and the Sodium Hydroxide are white pellets. Do not handle
the NaOH because you get a base burn form it.
     Get a stainless steel pot that can hold at least two quarts.
In this, pour one quart of gamma butyrol lactone. Begin heating on
a low flame. Lactone boils at around 192 degrees Fahrenheit, but
you must not allow this to occur. Constantly monitor the
temperature and if it gets too close to 192, turn off the flame.
To the warm liquid, add about 1 pound of NaOH. Heat the mixture
with stirring until the pellets dissolve. This will take several
hours, so have patience.
     Once the pellets have dissolved, check the pH of the solution
with pH paper. It should be around 2-4. You need a pH of 6-7. To
obtain this pH add some NaOH. Once the 6-7 is obtained, turn off
the heat and allow the solution to cool.
     You now have a 50% solution of GHB and water. You need a 20%
solution. To get this, take the amount of liquid you have and add
it to 1 and 1/2 times as much water.

Directions for use:

     One level teaspoon is equal to one gram of GHB. You would use
about 2-3 teaspoons immediately before bedtime. Do not be an idiot
and try to drive or do anything after using this because you will
probably kill some innocent people and not yourself. It is for
HOME USE ONLY.
      By the way, the end product will taste really bad, so be
prepared to drink some water to wash the taste out of your mouth.
Do not just pour yourself a teaspoon full and swallow it, add it
to a glass of water.
      One little note, using about 1 teaspoon before sex will
cause a marked delay in ejaculation. Your girlfriend (or wife)
will thank you for that.

Warnings:

     Again, it is for home use only. Also, elemental Potassium
must be supplemented. Either eat a lot of bananas or go to a
vitamin store and buy some potassium. Use about 1000-2000 mgs a
day with meals.
