'your ketamine Mr Law'

Walking around on it feels just like this

 

[version]

It's a great drug, I really liked it, but the health risks are pretty severe. Some of the people who really hammer it end up incontinent and requiring a bladder transplant.

What if you don't get hooked though? Pretty much fine?

I s'pose so, yeah. The people ending up like that seem to have been doing vast quantities of the stuff over an extended period. Imagine the odd line is fine.

[version]

Yeah, I did it regularly for about six months in my teens. We used to buy a gram or two and just sit around in someone's flat or bedroom.

whats it like

Depends how you do it. If you do big lines or just lots of bumps in quick succession then your motor functions quickly go and you just end up lying down and feeling really strange and gooey, sometimes really queasy too.

The best times I had on it were doing it in reasonable amounts over the course of the night as I could still move fairly well, but everything felt dreamy, like I was underwater or in some sort of mirror world.

2 Ketamine experiences stand out just for their surreal manifestations.

First weird one was a post free party pile on back to someone’s gaff. Been a loooong weekend and I knew it was a bad idea as soon as the wrap came out. Felt so crispy anyway. Was trying to make about ten cups of tea and my name gets called and I’m thinking I just want to go to bed. Hand out teas, people are already saying things like “sea goes ssssssshhhh, air goes ffffffffffffffff” etc. Hoof the line off a plate and try and make it back to kitchen in time (it had this old rocking chair, really comfy) but I got as far as the doorframe separating the rooms. In seconds I’m in a haze between two places, 2 entangled worlds - the kitchen itself and an ex’s flat. They were mushing and melding and shifting and a dog might have been there (?). I could feel the door frame, but this swirl wouldn’t separate out from 2 distinct space times. Came round on my knees with a dog in front of me looking as perplexed as I was. Not unpleasant, not pleasant, just a plate of weirdness.

2nd strangest one was was doing a line you know’s too big after too many ales. Had stopped at a mates flat to buy a g on the way home, so he kindly offered a sample and disregarding common sense up it goes, the nostril sting and gross throat drip, but foolishly thought I could make it home while the K kicked in. Wrong! Got about 2 streets up to Nottingham castle by the Robin Hood statue and space time dissolved into white framed rectangular blocks of consciousness that assembled themselves against the pitch blackness. The blocks were self organising, then a voice came through “are you ok there?” and I could barely make out a couple of women trying to help me out of this shop doorway like a broken tramp. I just couldn’t get up for fuck knows how long. Gross. Nose running, a cab driver turned me down and i had to walk nome to Sherwood in the bastard rain. Skills eh.

sounds awaful

 

[WashYourHands]

avoid altogether or go low/slow, trust the people you take it with, getting taxed during a k-hole is worth avoiding too

no muse exists there, no Golden Fleece, just a brief crease in subjective experience before loads of mucus arrives and you’re back in your usual self (with the mucus)

 

[luka]

thats what i always assumed theres no higher intelligence there guinding you its just being munted

 

[WashYourHands]

nihilism as lines of strange unnecessary problems for the duration of your visit

 

[shakahislop]

know a couple of people here who take ketamine as a legal prescribed etc medical treatment. controlled and presumably accurate doses and supervision, someone to talk you through it and debrief afterwards. they seem to like it.

 

[WashYourHands]

more than a few studies on it disrupting long term clinical depression and alcoholism

ket zombies are another matter but the dichotomy is emblematic of the drug

mixing it with alcohol is especially gruesome, a lad near here swallowed his tongue after a mild session, nighty night after that duck

 

[WashYourHands]

so many more enlightening alternatives but @woops might be called upon to guide the journeyman with a raised eyebrow as spacetime becomes 2-D

Its around me a lot, the little bumps method seems to be my friends’ preference. Knowing version’s done it makes me want to try it more, i’ve been indirectly peer pressures by teen versioncore

I think I posted about trying Ketamine therapy some time back (like many months ago) for constant depression and suicidality that has always haunted me, but then combined with how expensive it is, and how it seems that you probably have to keep going back in, I said fuck it.
