so brave testimony, I have so many friends in the club scene who are hooked to it and I dont know whats the best way to tell them... But he just gave me some ideas on how to approach this! Respect
It absolutely does not "bind to the same receptors in the brain that heroin does." Please note that while I don't distrust this man's *experience* with the drug, and his analysis of the *social* aspects of GHB usage sound really plausible, but his science is wrong wrong wrong.
Yep
Gaba ≠ opioid receptor smh
Loved it! Thank you Nicholas, so much gratefulness for spreading this amount of love
Very well spoken! I think best episode so far. Would love to see him again at playfull podcast. Thank you for doing this.
Um, he really lost me when he said he didn't trust studies. So what are we supposed to trust, hearsay and anecdotes? Those are included in the studies. There is a *lot* of literature about GHB, not all of it narc sh*t.
This is so real! This is exactly how the parties look like at the moment. Especially in London. Thank you Nicholas for such a honest talk. Well done and good luck. X
This contains a few confidently stated untruths, e.g. G does not bind to the opiate receptors like heroin does - it rather binds to GABA receptors, similarly to alcohol and benzos. I don't believe “withdrawals” can appear only on weekends (in a period of sustained abstinence), though cravings may well. I would also disagree with the casual dismissal of medical studies on drugs and information on the internet (wholesale) in favor of personal anecdotes. Those are surely valuable, but may well not be as universally true or generally applicable as they can feel to us. With all due respect for his story and his openness, I can't help but get a bit of a vibe of dramatization and showmanship here. That makes for engaging content, but I don't think it necessarily moves the debate on drugs forward.
I hope you gonna understand it early enough, take care 🖤
dude please delete your comment. I’m still addicted to it right now. And you have no idea what you’re talking about. The way he speaks about the drug in this podcast was so healing on me hearing somebody tell exactly what i’m going tru. Only thing what he told wrong. is that it binds on the same receptors like heroin, and you react to it like it’s a bad thing and not trust him. what kind of a man are you.. But i’ll defend him, i know almost for sure that he ment that the withdrawal are even WORSE than heroine. So maybe that gives people an indication of the kind of monster it is to get off..
and by the way show some articles where they state that’s completly normal that every weekend people get in coma multiple times like it’s the same as eating a cookie, and the way you become a monster yourself and how people left you like you’re a dead man when it comes to you if u landed in the hospital. how you suppose to get along with that after you begin to realise what this drug did to you all this time. I’m looking forward my friend. You’re comment get people want to grab the drug again but you don’t even realise what you’re bringing to the party with this bullshit. You owe the man an apologise
Oh man stay strong in there u can and will make it.
Thank you for the words...
was he sober when blaming Revier Süd Ost for being racist due to his experience? 🤔 GHB is destroying the scene, not only dancers but also the venues who have to deal with the casualties
It's a shame how some venues treat pundits who have overdosed on G or even those who have been spiked
this venue and its staff has mistreated queer people for a long time, regardless of whether or not he was on ghb they have improved their treatment of people as a result of the accusations
People stay away from g people because it feels afraid, they feel fear. I myself was attack from g people (in a sexual way) and is not cool, is a trauma...
I'm sorry that happened to you, but there is no such thing as "g people". Those peope who did that to you are rapists not "g people"
Misery likes company. Very dark, he's right!
one of the most beautiful human beings you interviewed so far 👏👏❤ love it !!! words chosen so beautifuly
First of all congrats on getting away of G. Now maybe apologize to the RSO for the random accusation of discrimination
And to those who couldn't work at the venue and were put in financial instability as the club closed for months
i felt being discriminated at RSO twice actually :) its not the fact they bounce you, that has nothing to do with it. but the attitude and the behavior while theyre doing so, is everything. :)
Smells like white fragility in here! Yikes! Your racism isn’t gonna be given that easy.
Great interview!
🖤
is this guy on ghb during the interview?
You're very brave to come forward Nicholas!
lovv
Mental or physical addiction?!
Huge Respect for those genuine words! Hopefully this podcast gets the attention its deserved to get
Deep shit
God bless Nicholas Rose

What a great individual
Iwie nervt mich der dude total... ist ja schon hilfreich und gut darüber aufzuklären und gefahren etc. durch eigene Erfahrungen zu verdeutlichen,
Aber dieses ständige "die Droge verändert einen zum schlechten charakterlich, ABER ich war trotzdem der einzige der immer den anderen geholfen hat" und "die Droge ruiniert dein Leben, ABER Thank god dass ich trotzdem alles in meinem Leben auf die Reihe gekriegt habe"
Das ist iwie so ein ganz komischer Flex
