Just been reading through this thread, as have got some K at the moment which is from a completely different source to normal.
To begin with I thought it was cut (and it may be?...) because although still white powder, it has a consistency more like icing sugar than what I've always come across as K crystals (even when 'cooked' /crushed)
When I got it, as it was not from a known or trusted source (long story that i wont go into here as to why not from the usual place as I know its stupid to not know your source), I IMd 100mg or so.
After about 2 mins I started to feel the psychedelic effects of K, but no sedation at all.
I usually take K in the dark, with music on, and usually the racemic-K that i get knocks me well out for 15-20mins or so on 200mg IM and I get good clean trips on it. I rarely remember details of these trips, though have some recollection of what goes on and remember little bits each time etc.
So this new K, while psychedelic and following all the usual trip patterns etc, gives me almost no sedation at all, in fact, quite the opposite. When I come round from the trip (after about 10mins) and turn on my laptop screen, I am still hallucinating fairly wildly in my peripheral vision and completely aware of these hallucinations and their interactions with me. If I close my eyes or it is pitch black, my vision is full of manic flashing fuzz and colours which is extremely unpleasant and can make me feel pretty sick (and has made me sick on a couple of occasions).
I feel completely awake, empty, edgy, hard, unpleasant in general, like all the goodness has been sucked out of my body. I feel vaguely poisoned, my mind feels empty and scratchy. I feel totally disconnected from, though completely aware of, the world around me.
It keeps me awake for a long long time (3-4 hours, maybe more) and throughout this time I just feel empty and sucked dry of any good.
I am also able to remember what seems like a fairly large portion of the trip, which is unusual for me.
I really don't like this new K at all, but interestingly a couple of my friends who also do ketamine, seem to like it a lot, and think its the best K they have ever had...??! I am tempted to think it has been cut, though after trying my best to understand this thread with my limited scientific knowedge, it would seem that maybe this K is R-ketamine alone? and not racemic or s-ket? :/ any ideas?? *confused* xx
