Ketamine

Overview

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic commonly used in medicine for anesthesia and pain management. Recreationally, it is known for producing dissociation, altered perception, dream-like thinking and, at higher doses, the "K-hole"—an intensely immersive dissociative state.

Compared to PCP analogues, ketamine generally has a shorter duration and a more sedating, less stimulating character.

My Review

Overall Experience

When I first tried Ketamine I loved it and would do it every week, it was my intro to real dissociation and I loved it, but with time it got pretty boring and bland by itself, and my tolerance was getting bigger and bigger and boom I go around 3 months without ketamine, I do a line thats around 80mg and it feels like a regular line, then I do another one an hour later and feel nothing. Ketamine just disappoints me, and I don't want to do more to get the same effect Because if I do then I'll destroy my bladder - And that is why I am sticking to PCP analogues from now on. Although, I would occasionally do some ketamine if I mix it with a stimulant.

What I Enjoyed

  • Deep dissociation.
  • Dream-like mental state.
  • Great when combined with stimulants.
  • Short duration.

What I Didn't Enjoy

  • Tolerance builds extremely quickly.
  • Tolerance lasts for months.
  • Too sedating by itself.
  • Bladder discomfort after repeated use.

Would I Use It Again?

Yes

Tips & Harm Reduction

Practical Tips

  • Measure doses accurately.
  • Give your tolerance time to recover between sessions.
  • If you experience bladder pain, stop using and allow time to recover.

Harm Reduction

  • Frequent ketamine use has been associated with bladder and urinary tract problems.
  • Avoid driving or operating machinery while intoxicated.
  • Combining ketamine with other depressants can increase sedation and other risks.
