^Yep, that's the one !! It's the best, most simplistic (in that it uses the heat produced by the NaOH addition to water (goes up to about 90c and steaming) to kick the reaction off, it then is an exothermic reaction itself and so generates more heat which causes the reaction to speed up thus generating more heat and so and so on) and is the most reliable out there producing perfectly neutral G if done correctly.

Can be done start to finish (sitting down with a brew and all packed away) in 30mins.

The reason people are so interested in the sodium bircarb version is because is it far easier to get 'food grade' sodium bicarbonate than it is to get sodium hydroxide.

And I hope you don't mind me posting this recipe UK_TOM: ;)


A much, much simpler method that can be done from start to finish in 20 mins (all washed up and cleared away, sitting on the sofa with a cigarette...) is as follows:

NOTE: Gloves and eye protection really are necessary. Also, have a plan for any spillages, splashes onto skin and other mishaps - Work in a clean area.

1. Measure 25ml GBL into a 100ml conical flask.
2. Measure 11ml of DRY NaOH (approx 12g but 11ml works apparently well using regular NaOH)
3. Pour the NaOH into 20ml of dH2O and stir immediately (...or it form a hard lump that will be a bitch to break and disolve). Stir until all is disolved - approx 2 mins.
WARNING! This will get very hot indeed, approx 90c and will steam.
4. Immediately pour ALL of the NaOH solution into the 100ml flask that contains the 25ml GBL.

=> Two layers will form, the NaOH solution on the bottom, a milky white and the GBL clear and sitting on top. No reaction will be visibly taking place.

5. Every 30 seconds or so, swirl the flask (DO NOT shake or cap off the flask!). Swirling is best done on top of a cloth on a flat surface so the flask is not lifted into the air and swirled rather the whole flask is swirled whilst in contact with a cloth (carpet works very well!))

6. Continue swirling every 30 seconds for 15 seconds or so for about 5 mins in total (until the reaction takes off).

=> One will notice changes after each session of swirling, first it will begin to get hotter, bubbles will begin to form in the gbl and condensation will appear on the inner flask walls. Eventually steam will be seen emitting from the flasks opening.

7. It will get to a point after about 4 or 5 minutes where a point will be reached where the balance is tipped in favour of the reaction, this occurs when it reaches a certain temperature. When it reaches this point a self-sustained reaction will kick in and the gbl will boil itself out for 10 - 15 seconds. Loads of steam will be coming out of the top and it will be boiling and bubbling quite vigorously. It can all be quite unnerving but doesn't last long.

8. There will be a smell of GHB in the air (which is unmistakable) and if one looks at the flask the original two layers will have become 1 clean, clear solution. IT WILL BE VERY HOT!!!

9. Test the pH - It normally never fails and should be a perfect neutral.
10. Allow to cool for 5 mins. Mix with 55ml of water to make it up to 100ml in total (Most people make up to 200ml as it makes SMALL dosing a little easier.). Add a little blue food colouring in order to prevent accidental drinking/prevent the dosing of someone unawares - although the salt taste should make this impossible anyway. Mix well.

11.a. Filter through a coffee filter into a sterile bottle and label appropriately.

11.b. DO A FINAL pH TEST!

12. Wash everything up, tidy up and have a smoke. Keep any chemicals locked up and safe.

* Dosage: Try 5ml first and allow a good 30 minutes for the effects to begin. Mixed with apple and blackcurrant cordial and a little water makes it easier to drink. It tastes salty and quite rank.

*Be careful with it and don't do anything stupid.

*Treat ALL drugs with the respect they are due.

Yeah so that it soaks the cloth and with condensation mixes with humidity and fries your skin... good idea indeed.


=> One will notice changes after each session of swirling, first it will begin to get hotter, bubbles will begin to form in the gbl and condensation will appear on the inner flask walls. Eventually steam will be seen emitting from the flasks opening.


If not capped, condensation happens OUT of sources of heat first. Wanna do that reaction with a cap ? Good luck, and say hello to your soon-to-be-missing hand.

What is this ? Alchemy ? "Look at what happens and proceed" ?

Newsflash : GHB is odorless.

What a gross ripoff from the hive. You didn't even bother remove the warning and almost copied it word for word.

Like trying this shit...

Rofl at the black pope constantly needing his hand held.

You would too if you knew next to no chemistry at all.

Skipped all the crying and bitching above because this need to be said:

Unless you have PURE (tech grade) NaOH do not EVEN THINK about using it! Dunno about you but i do not like to add extra crap in my body. Baking soda is also easier to come by and cheaper. My cat has tried both and the only different notice is that the one made with NaOH seems to grab moisture from the air a bit more quickly, no change in potency or whatnot.

Now what would be intresting would be to try different salts of it (Li,Na etc...) or possibly even another type of lactone, can`t remenber the correct name of it but rhodium tried one called veralacatone or something like that, 15% stronger then the "regular" one, worth a shot as the precusor for it are much more easliy sourced (sugar cane anyone?).

More info and stuff wheni can access my files :(

NaOH is actually used in cooking various types of food (at home) and there are food grades available, although I think people just use regular (98%+) NaOH. Very easy to find food grade NaOH online and I think about 2 to 4 times the price of regular NaOH.
