[Quick answers from the GHB FAQ Crisis Center]

Media images of GHB oftentimes invoke sinister rapists pooling their unholy lore and the blood of unbaptized babes to create ever more foul weapons of violation. Perhaps they suggest a chemistry dropout synthesizing a drug to increase his hold over his army of ravers, knowing that PLUR will quickly turn to darker utterances when they are plied with the right rewards.

     Even if GHB isn't harmful to most people, it's just another recreational drug. Why not be on the safe side? What harm does it do to ban something that isn't good for anything but getting smashed?

     I'll ignore the issues of fundamental human freedom and respect for now, for these popular conceptions miss the fact that for many, GHB is far more than a simple good time. It has many powerful therapeutic uses, and combined with its low toxicity and minimal addictive potential, it is truly a wonder that the medical community shuns it. The following resources are for people interested in using GHB to help with conditions ranging from insomnia to drug addiction.
The Warning

     My material dealing with GHB as a tranquilizer is immediately available. Before accessing any of the other documents, you must read the following. Once you have certified that you understand and agree with it, you will be taken to the full table of contents, which can be bookmarked for future visits.

     Up to now, I have been willing to stake my life on the safety of GHB. If you are fond of such certainty, you can get a nice look at it in the rearview mirror. While I feel myself an expert on GHB, I am manifestly not one on sleep, drug addiction, or other subjects mentioned here. I strongly urge against attempting to diagnose or treat such complex and potentially serious conditions without the aid of a trained doctor or therapist. Even if GHB is illegal in your state, you may be able to find a sympathetic professional who will examine this and other resources. Having someone educated in medicine to assist in developing a program and monitor your condition regularly is the only sure way to avoid trouble.
     I hope that this information will be of value to such professionals, as well as to those victims of the current drug laws who have no recourse but to attempt to treat themselves.

     I understand that Michael Cohn is not a certified or professional anything. I will not attempt any therapeutic program herein without:
•Reading the complete GHB GHB FAQ.

•Having my condition diagnosed by a competent practitioner.

•Making an effort to enlist hir help and oversight.

•Heeding all warnings from the FAQ and from my own common sense.

•Asking for clarification on any points I find unclear.
