> Of course it's not for everyone. Your mileage may vary. I gave you my person experience.
"The patient required 507 mg of lorazepam and 120 mg of diazepam over 90 h to control agitation." is an example of another, very real, person's experience.
>But I think with education (not propaganda, or bias subjective views) and government scare tatics there would be much less drug abuse.
We know that scare tactics don't work. Back in the '70s, the government floated the idea that LSD caused genetic damage and birth defects. Rather pathetic, really, as the very same government published statistics showing that birth defects were actually falling during this period. When I caught the government in this lie, it actually was a major factor in my decision to try LSD.
I have taken pains to find the most balanced and complete information about GHB, and posted it in the first message I put into this thread. That is not propaganda, or biased information. Negative connotations are not evidence for either characteristic.
>Not to mention the stigma that comes with current illegal drug use. I can think of many illegal drugs less harmful (when properly used) than alcohol.
That's quite an inappropriate argument to make. You're comparing the "proper" use of illegal drugs to all usage of alcohol. Alcohol in moderation is beneficial to your health. Moderate use of alcohol is the only "proper" use.
Lumping me in with proponents of the "War on Drugs" is not valid. You really are mistaken, if you do so.
