Well thats a hard question.GHB like i satated can definatly be used thepruticaly,in small dosages in can aid in anxiety relieaf the same way a benzo would,in small doses it can be combine with a benzo,lowering the needed dose of a benzo,and in small doses can not only serve as an anti-anxiety agent,but in conjunction with other meds it can serve as the other common mood stablizers...(nuerontin,gabitril,tegratol,etc).Alcholol obviously does not have this ability to be saftely added to a regimin as an add on,ghb in correct doses can,and can be extremly effective as well,here there is no comparison to alcholol at all.
As far as recreation doses goes,its still in a class of its own.With a ghb recreation dose there is small to little chance of a violent outburst,there is also less depression at the higher doses than a drunken state consumes.
The biggest difference is,however unlike alcholol there is a dopamine rebound,so when the effects wear off there is the opposite of a hangover,rather there is a surge of dopamine relaese,for some this is good,others might be very agititating.
So to answer your question,ghb holds great theprutic value if used by a responsable person.As a recreation drug,it is still much better than alcholol,however it is ill advised mainly because alcholol wont land you in jail serving serious time the way ghb would.
Many people actualy used ghb to help ease off alcoholoism.But with the tight law on ghb,as well as the extreme difficultiy of obtaining actual pure or reasonably safe ghb,i would not use it recreational at all,the closes to that id go is for its sexual benifits.
With the ban on ghb,you now have people who used it for years turning to cosmetic products doing dangerous kitchen scienace to try to extract trace amounts of it from them,as well as orering from less then respectable sources,sources which will likly provide a dangerous product,toxic,or provide nothing and scam you.I dont see how it can be looked upon as a demon of a drug without any knowledge of it by the general public,at the very least they should know the same posion they are blastering is avaiable by prescription,the substance isnt different at all,only the price range!
