Hey there,
I came across someone in the K-hole for the first time over the weekend and would like some advise, or more information on what I saw. I have never tried Ketamine, and now probably will never after my experience. Just for honesty I had drank 4 cans of beer and had about 120mg estacy tablets (in two halves) taken over a 4 hour period and was just starting to come up when I found this guy, so I'm not 100% sure if some of this was my imagination but it all seemed very real and somehow I managed to hold off my come up from my pill.
The first thing was when I went to "Ian" was his eyes were completely clouded over with pin prick (blurs) of pupils. He was standing in a catatonic state, almost zombie like in the back garden at a house party. His "mate" was pushing dabs of ket into his mouth because "he needs more to get him through it". When I told him to stop that the last thing he needed was more drugs Ian finally spoke saying no more drugs.
It took me about 30 minutes to get him inside out of the garden, through kitchen and into a warm room and a seat, where I sat with him for over an hour while he went through "the horrors" of asking is this real, am I alive, will I ever be normal again, have I soiled my pants and must admit started to get bored reassuring him after it was repeated about 20 times when his whole body spasmed/shuck and I noticed his eyes were clear again and he had small pupils and he started coming in and out of reality. During the time every so often he would violently jump away from me with what I can only describe as terror in his eyes looking at me, but I would move away and then calmy and gently calm him down again and these got less infrequent and lasted for less time the longer I stayed with him
Other people had seem me with him, but assumed that I knew what I was doing because I'm in my forties and felt the best thing was to leave me deal with it and not freak the guy out, but I finally managed to grab someone to take over after and felt Ian could cope. I made sure to introduce the guy to Ian as a friend and waited a couple of minutes before I left. Before I left he told me it was the most amazing trip of his life and words couldn't describe how fantastic it was.... which I must admit really pissed me off because I now felt extremely sober. The whole thing was somewhere just over 1 1/2 hours
I checked on Ian over the next hour until eventually I met him in the kitchen where be burst into tears hugging me saying "I cant believe you're real"
He told me that everyone heads were distorted like aliens laughing and sneering and pointing at him, that he was looking down on everything and then in the middle of everything and that he was so scared and alone but didnt know who or what he was or anything was.
Ian said it was the most horrific thing in his life, a really really bad trip. He was pale and shocked and finally went home after I advised him to stay off anything for the next 5 or 6 weeks and that in reality should consider whether to ever do K again. It also turns out they had been doing "lots of k" for 11 hours before I met them, topping it up with other drugs as the day went on.
So my questions:
What was up with the cloudy eyes? Did I imagine that? It was early morning bright outside when I found him, but I must admit that is the one thing that still really freaks me out about this.
What could I / should I have done better.... just for the next time, though I hope I never have to do it again, I would.
thanks
