BAN FOR VAUXHALL’S NECTAR GBL

Clubland, News by HOMOVISION on August 25, 2009 at 11:13 am

The UK Home Office has officially banned GBL – the disco drug that often causes random acts of narcolepsy and fitting in gay clubs and saunas throughout the world.

The solvent – used in paint stripper and nail varnish remover – will now become a Class C drug, with users facing two years in prison and dealers up to 14 years.

Home Secretary Alan Johnson says: “There is a perception that many of the so called ‘legal highs’ are harmless. In some cases, people can be ingesting dangerous industrial fluids or smoking chemicals that can be even more harmful than cannabis.”

GBL is banned for personal use in North America and in some European countries, but the British government has delayed its decision due to consultations with industry.

    I believe that my body should belong to me not to the state. What right does the state have to tell me what i can and cannot do with my body (assuming my actions do no unwanted harm to anyone else). But the state has always tried to exercise its control over our bodies (think of homosexuality, sadomasochism, substance use, suicide, anorexia etc). I strongly feel that as informed adults we should have the right to do what we chose with our own bodies if it does no harm to anyone else (although I accept that this last remark is contentious and often involves a balancing act between the rights of the individual and those of 'the group').

    Sharing a venue with a smoker or someone who is intoxicated on G or alcohol is likely to be unpleasant for others. As a non-smoker I completely support the smoking ban but I would defend peoples right to smoke. They know it will hasten their life. but it is their choice. The state's responsibility is only to try and educate, to provide support (and to levy taxes to pay for the additional costs that are incurred).

    Of course, the fact that the drug laws simply don't work and that legalisation,quality control and taxation would make them far safer and more advantageous for society is another argument.

    While GBL certainly increases horniness, the downside I've found to that is that some guys seem to rely on it a bit too much. How good is the sex when your perception of it is coloured by the drugs you're on? Not that I'm a puritan by any means, just find a bit tiresome when you turn up for what you hope is going to be a good shag, only to find that they are too off their faces to be of much use.

    Yes Abs. Very much so. But at the wrong dose it makes you comatose, fit, liable to shit yourself.. and if mixed with alcohol.. flatline.

    I have very mixed feelings about GBL... I am against nanny state politics and prohibition. But last week I went to supermartxe and the number of monsters collapsing and fitting made me very uncomfortable and pretty much ruined my night.

    I think there is a sizable proportion of gay people that just arn't sensible enough to use anything in moderation and GBL has far worse consequences from over doing it.

    Does GBL actually makes you very horny when you take it at the right dose???
  • agreed with kasheik and leftgay - i stopped going out in london altogether because i could not stand watching the fools who were passing out, fitting and screaming at security, pulling their trousers down and lurching about, stumbling around with that uniquely stupid look that only a g-head gets or vomiting on the dancefloor before being pulled out of the club, on a gurney and intubated.

    the perfect storm is when idiots mix it with methamphetamine - the combination of disinhibition and extreme horned-up-ness seems to be a fatal attraction to a lot of big-eyed gurners.

    the good thing is that the combination is also pretty lethal and the purging effect of darwin's law starts to come into force on a macro level.

    GBL dis inhibits like alcohol, and also works as aphrodisiac making you super horny. Unlike alcohol it is not neurotoxic, however like alcohol it can also be addictive... causing addiction for 24/7 users. This sort of creates the perfect storm" for gay users. gay drug users most of the time over do it. Overdoing it a bit on g means you pass out. a bit more means coma. a bit more again and death.

    I avoid using this in clubs as the walking undead retard look it produces it not a good look. I do however use for sex and occasionally to fall asleep as I suffer from insomnia. The difference is I researched this drug months before I tried it and I never ever overdo the dosage (it's very steep). But as a responsible adult - the nanny state would rather I kill myself slowly with alcohol, cigs and other far worse socially acceptable drugs.

    Banning this drug will not do anything really to curb it, only making it more underground and the possibility of dealers actually selling bleach to people rather than the actual product. More people will probably die as a result.

    What also makes me laugh is the 50 gay men that must have died from it's use in vauxhall and nothing happened. Then some middle class white girl dies from mixing it with alcohol (which EVERYONE knows is a big no no) and suddenly the legislation happens...

    hmmm
  • Common GHB analogs include GBL, BD, GHV, and GVL. Both GBL and BD metabolize into GHB upon ingestion. All these strains of drugs are horrible. i use to work the club scene in London and I saw grown men shit themselves on this drug... or have to be carried out by ambulance/ security, night after night!. Why do people constantly keep doing this to themselves? So silly.
  • Having never taken gbl, I am at a loss to understand what the attraction is of narcolepsy and fitting in a club. Still I suppose there must be one or many otherwise people wouldn't take it. I guess this will be added to the list of drugs that that law enforcement are "at war" with.
  • i agree with colm about the confusion the government is spewing forth. (although i did enjoy the phrase "even more harmful than cannabis" - after all, what isn't?)

    the problem isn't gbl - it;s the drug culture that celebrates passing out on g as if it were something funny or clever. making gbl illegal will do precisely nothing to stop "random acts of narcolepsy and fitting in gay clubs and saunas" in the uk, especially when it's scheduled as a class c drug which essentially means that police will always turn their attention to more "serious" infractions of the law instead of using or dealing g (though it might put a cramp in some online g websites' business).

    A rather confused message from the government. If it's so dangerous (I'm no medical expert; I assume the Home Office's advisors are?) then why is it not being recalssified unril the end of the year.

    And if it is "more dangerous than Ectasy - a class A drug - then why is a lowly C classification being proposed.

    This is a pointless but populist move!
