User: GHB is a safe alternative to steroids. True False

Weegy: Fasle. It is easy to take too much GHB because the amount that produces the desired or pleasurable effects is close to the amount that can cause an overdose. An overdose can cause slowed breathing, coma, seizures and may even result in death. [ If you think that a person has overdosed, contact emergency services immediately. GHB is a potent sedative and can cause users to fall into deep sleep. Users may vomit during sleep and choke. Taking GHB with other central nervous system depressants, such as alcohol or benzodiazepines, is very dangerous and may result in death. When used together, the depressive effects on the central nervous system are greater than when each drug is used alone. This intense depression of the central nervous system can lead to slowed breathing, and ultimately death because the brain stops telling the lungs to breathe. ]
