1,4-BDO Is Highly Addictive and Can Be Deadly

I'm gonna try and keep this short and to the point. I'm writing this because lately there's so many ppl/kids using all of these research chems etc, and I'd like to try and save as many ppl/especially kids from trying this BDO and having it ruin and/or permanently damage their lives as it did mine. My experience with 1,4-Butanediol/BDO occurred roughly 23yrs ago when I was a teenager. I even wrote a prior experience on here about this stuff back in 2001.

So, originally I read some pamphlet I got from the back of a popular magazine about BDO, describing how it was supposedly a precursor to GHB and it was saying that the effect was very much "anti-anxiety like", and "similar to MDMA", so I was of course interested. I didn't know at that time what GHB felt like, and actually I still don't because I've only used this BDO, but I liked Xanax and MDMA very much so I figured I would like this as well. BDO was still unscheduled at this time and perfectly legal to order, so I ordered a 10 liter drum from a popular chemical company in Texas at the time, and a couple days later it was delivered straight to my doorstep. It cost me about $350, I believe it was. So me thinking this stuff was very similar to the effects of MDMA, I figured it was gonna be a very good summer, you know what I mean!

So I tried a little bit (about 2.5ml), using a 3cc syringe to get the right dosage, and it did have a fairly strong "anti-anxiety" and "well being" feeling that was good but nothing great like I thought it would be. And nothing similar to MDMA, so I was a little pissed about that part! Without anyone who I knew at that time who actually wanted to buy any, me and a few close friends began taking it very frequently, whenever we were together (basically everyday), I'd bring out a bottle for all of us to just take for free of course, or I would take it by myself. We would take 2.5ml's, and I especially became very addicted after a couple of months of using this stuff. BDO is extremely addicting, no matter what you may have heard elsewhere, please believe me! I even bought a book on GHB and it's supposed health benefits. Either the real GHB molecule has different properties than BDO like addiction, or the writer of the book I had is just full of shit, but I assure you that BDO IS VERY ADDICTING AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! Anyone can write a book and write whatever they want, right? I'm a fan of many psychedelics and other substances, and I have no reason to lie.

So, I became extremely addicted to this substance like nothing I've ever taken before that time. And by that time in my life I had been addicted to Benzos and Opiates, but this doesn't compare because the addiction to BDO is just so physical like extreme shaking, heart beating so fast and hard, and not to mention the extreme anxiety that just doesn't compare to benzos or opioids, I swear it's much worse than other drugs, even with all the addictions I suffered from throughout my lifetime, even as of now 23 yrs later!!! And it didn't help that I had a fuckn 10 liter drum of this BDO sitting in a friend's basement.

So it came to the point where I had to take this shit multiple times daily, and at a very much higher dosage now. I was taking 10ml's every 6 hours each and every day, and if I didn't take it I would begin shaking like crazy, so I never let it get to that point and I took it everyday every 6 hours! I was scared to let it go beyond that point as I didn't know exactly what would happen, but I felt like I was going to have a seizure or something.

So after about a year and a half or so of going through this terrible addiction, I was at the point that I couldn't sleep not even for one minute a night, I couldn't go out with friends anymore, and I was just stuck. After a few nights of night sleeping I decided that I had to do something, so I went to the emergency room.

When I first got there, I had just taken a 10ml dose before I went in there so I'd be good while waiting. I was trying to explain the drug I was addicted to and they didn't even know what it was or how to treat it. At first they told me I had to go through their ordinary drug program at first, until they finally listened to me, and did their own research on the computer but they still didn't know hardly anything about what even to do except they read that the withdrawal could be treated with IV Ativan. But they were treating me like a drug addict the whole time.

Once they brought me to the back where the beds are, I told the nurse that at a certain point very soon I was gonna start shaking and possibly go into convulsions. She said she had to take all bloodwork first before giving me something, and she said it like such a bitch! I said ok, but you'll see! And at the 6 hour mark exactly since taking my previous dose, I began convulsing and blood was going all over, then I blacked out! I don't really remember anything, except for one instance of me sort of coming out of it just enough to realize that a black nurse who was actually just changing a diaper they put in me and cleaning me up. But in my condition I swear I thought I was being raped and I began screaming at the top of my lungs, "This ni__er is raping me" and I was fighting like crazy! I'm not racist and I'm just explaining what occurred. That's shows the terrible shape I was in. And at that time my parents told me they were standing by my bed, so embarrassed!!! I was in a very serious medical condition. I don't remember anything else until waking up in the detox part of the hospital like a week later.

Ever since this situation, I have terrible anxiety and depression till this day. Also, for some reason I can't smoke weed any more. I get extreme anxiety whenever trying so I just gave up soon after. So there has to be some type of permanent brain damage the I did by using that shit! Trust me when I say its not worth even trying it bro.

Since I'm giving an honest opinion about the use of BDO, there is one amazing effect of 1,4-Butanediol which I feel that I shouldn't mention, because I don't want to promote this shit in anyway, but here it is: Its the best sex drug/substance that I ever used. At the right dose, better than MDMA! It takes away all inhibitions. At the right dosage, taking it with my girl is fuckn amazing!! It makes me so horny and willing to try sexual things I haven't done before.

However, BDO is still very addicting and dangerous and I think everyone should just stay away from it.
Please Stay Safe Fellas!
