Overdose

 

There appears to be a very fine line between the amount of GHB required to achieve the desired affect and that which leads to coma. Deaths has been associated with the use of GHB in the New Zealand. An added risk of overdose is that GHB can cause both unconsciousness and vomiting, which raises the risk of choking on vomit.

Many people find GHB to be a pleasant alcohol replacement. Unfortunately, because it is often kept as a clear liquid and even in drinking bottles, it is difficult to judge the concentration and accidental ingestions leading to overdose are common.
