> Your attribute your chance salvation to having fallen out of the chair a certain and having chanced to have woken up in time. The poiunt is that people always wake up from GHB in time unless it is mixed with other drugs which do inddeed supress respiration. GHB baffles emergency rooms because people go from an unresponsive, low \respiration con-like state which they have heretofore only seen with narcotics or alcohol which has non os the revivifyiying aspect of GHB which spurs released damine to release after 4 hrs. and breathing is never suppressed by it alone in a way that is life threatening. Were you to swallow vomit, you would violently choke , summon sall othe life saving built in reflexes to expel the blockage and restore breathing. GHB does not lull breathin into a stupor which is unresponsiove to something that cuts it off, unlike pills, heroin, alcohol.
> You just aren't recognizing how their is a natural , unprovoked spur to awakedness which follows the lull to unconsciousbness during the initial 4 hours. That is not to say that if someones's breathing is arrested, they will not spring to life with full alerted survival instincts.Actually I woke up quite some time after I threw up and inhaled. I woke up because the effects started to wear off, not out of the physical discomfort. Otherwise, under your argument, I should have arose immediately after inhaling acidic puke. Yes, people ALWAYS wake up after the effects start to fade, but have you ever experimented on someone passed out on GHB? I had a friend consume a little larger dose than he anticipated at work. I dragged him outside trying to arouse him, slapping his face (HARD), and no response. I was trying to save him from being fired-hence the beating : ). Someone heavily passed out on GHB will not wake up, even to extremely painful stimuli!-untill of course the effects wear off. Remember, I am talking in terms of fairly hefty doses.
