GHB RECIPE #1 - Simple Liquid GHB
Safety Notice: Wear gloves, safety glasses and old clothes at all times. No exceptions. If any of these chemicals touch the skin, immediately wash well with ample amounts of cold water.
Ingredients:
1. 135 grams (120Ml) gamma-butyrolactone (liquid)
2. 64 grams sodium hydroxide (NaOH, solid), or 91 grams of potassium hydroxide (KOH, solid)
3. pH test papers (range: 6 - 11)
Instructions: (Read fully before starting)
1. Pour the butyrolactone into a pyrex bowl or saucepan.
2. Carefully add the NaOH or KOH to the bowl or saucepan.
3. Very carefully, add a cup of warm distilled water and immediately cover with a
loose fitting lid. The reaction may be rapid if the hydroxide is finely flaked, or slow
if it is present a coarse pellets.
4. If there is no obvious reaction after several minutes, swirl the mixture gently. If it
still does not react, heat the reaction gently. When it begins to react -- rapid boiling - remove it from the heat and let the reaction proceed on its own internally generated
heat.
NOTE: During Step 4 above and 5 below, you may see white material accumulate on the
side of the saucepan. (It doesn't always happen.) This is GHB as the sodium or
potassium salt. Don't throw it away. It will dissolve back into solution when more
water is added.
5. As the reaction calms down, it may or may not have gone to completion (i.e. be
fully reacted). To ensure completion, heat slowly until it starts boiling. Boil for a
few minutes to a half hour. Do not overheat!! GHB can get singed or burn if you boil
away too much water. Add additional distilled water to replace any that boils away.
6. Measure the pH. If it's higher than 7 (alkaline), you can add vinegar (5% acetic acid) or citric acid (do not use ascorbic acid at this point!) to lower it to pH 7. It may take
up to 5 to 10 tablespoons of vinegar or up to a tea-spoon of citric acid to accomplish
this task. Neutralizing pH is not mandatory. The GHB can be neutralized
immediately before consumption (e.g. by diluting it in orange juice or other acidic
fruit juices, or by adding a 9.5 to 1.0 gram of ascorbic acid immediately before
consumption.
7. Add enough distilled water (or ice cubes made from distilled water) to the completed
reaction mixture to bring it to a total volume of 750 ml (a little more than 3 cups)
to make a solution of approximately 1.3 grams/teaspoon, or to a total volume of 1
quart (a little less than a liter) to make a solution of approximately 1 gram/teaspoon.
8. Store in a glass container with a conspicuous label in the refrigerator or freezer.
Keep away from children, and from adults who are not familiar with GHB. Although
GHB is chemically stable in liquid solution at room temperature, at neutral-to- alkaline pH, it is susceptible to overgrowth by micro-organisms (especially yeasts,
molds and other fungi). The colder the temperature, the longer it takes for bacterial
or fungal contamination to occur. Try to make only as much as you can use in a
reasonably short period of time. For longer-term storage, store in a freezer.
NOTE: About Freezing.
Your GHB solution may or may not freeze solid depending on the temperature of
your freezer, the amount of sodium (or potassium) present, the degree of dilution
and the pH. If you want it to freeze solid (e.g. to make unitized-dose GHB cubes), you may have to dilute the solution with considerably more water.
