What G does to you depends on:
- How much you take.
- Your height and weight.
- How much you have eaten during the day.
- Your general health.
- Your mood.
- Your past experience with G.
- Whether you use G on its own or with other drugs.
- Whether you use alone or with others at home or at a party, etc.
As with alcohol and many other substances, the effects of G will be affected by how much one has recently eaten. Avoid mixing G with other depressants like alcohol, Valium, ketamine or marijuana.

Long term effects:
G has been called an aphrodisiac. It is important to remember that being intoxicated on any drug or drugs can affect your decision making about safe sex. It is a good idea to think about what you are and are not comfortable doing sexually before you use drugs.
Make safe sex a part of any sexual interactions you have as unprotected sex may result in you contracting a sexually transmitted disease such as HIV, Hepatitis or Chlamydia.
Being under the influence of depressant drugs such as G could possibly place you at increased risk of sexual assault. You are much less vulnerable if you only use drugs when you are with people that you know and trust.
