Remember when Ted took that

cute guy home on the third episode of "Queer as Folk." downed a cap of G, went into a coma and nearly died?

GHB: The precise dose can make you feel electric, feel like sex, and give you a hangover-free high. But just a little bit more, and you could slip into a sleep that never ends. And if you've had a meal recently, the food may make it impossible for you to judge whether or not you've taken the right dose. Further, if you mix it with alcohol, tranquilizers, painkillers, or allergy meds, you run the risk of seizures, breathing failure, coma and death. Regular use of GHB can cause physical dependency with harsh withdrawal symptoms.

Now, if that happened to you ... how many screenwriters do you think it would take to save your ass?

Dance safely.
