It's possible to overdose on anything. It's easy to overdose on GHB
when you combine it with alcohol or other depressants, or when you don't
bother to look up the active and lethal doses. No offense to your friend,
but I've never heard of, nor seen *any* documented cases of, people OD'ing
on GHB who weren't taking massive doses or mixing it with alcohol.
Mixing depressants is a sure way to win the Darwin award.
