Powdered Ketamine?

[madsen6466]

So, SWIM has normally only encountered ketamine in crystal form...obviously baked from liquid. Recently, SWIM has encountered lots of powdered ketamine that seems to be pretty legit. What's the story with powdered ketamine?

First...SWIM NOT allowed on bluelight. It doesn't protect you in case of prosecution and makes your post a pain to read. Plus you just sound silly unless you're actually a dolphin or something else that spends most of it's life in water...

All that aside to answer your question. It could be just the same as the crystal ketamine that you have received in the past...just the person who is selling it, even if he's the one crystallizing it out of the vial, is simply crushing up the crystals much finer than you are used to before selling. You shouldn't snort larger sized crystals of K...by the time you're about to sniff a line it should DEFINITELY be a very fine powder like you are talking about, whether it came in crystal or already powder form. Not crushing your K enough can lead to poor absorption in your sinus area...I.E. you do more drugs and get less high. Or...I've heard a "story" which is another possible explanation...
I have a friend who enjoys the ket quite a bit and he tells me the reason it hasn't been around for a while is this...The vials that used to be around were supposedly diverted from a vet somewhere and the vets office now have a different kind of ketamine that they stock which when taken out of the fridge/freezer for a few minutes, supposedly GELS up rendering it unable to be transformed into a powder, kinda like some new abuse safeguard to keep it from being used by anyone but the veterinarian. At least this is the supposed story that i've been told. I don't really know if I believe it...but there it is. After the supposed "gelling" problem, someone supposedly figured out how to make the gelatin into a powder through some process. The last Ketamine that I saw was still crystalline looking in appearance but it was actually shaped like little snowballs instead of little pieces of crystal. Very interesting looking, def a difference from what was around before, but still pretty fucking good, maybe even better. Same taste even, good ol' menthol, it was def genuine ket. As for the explanation for why it wasn't around for a bit...who knows, but there's the story for ya. There actually hasn't been some around where I live in about a year, maybe longer. Figured maybe someone would have some insight as to the legitimacy of the mysterious gellatin ketamine vials, or at least you could get a laugh out of the silly story someone went to the length of making up just to convince my friend of some bullshit.

Either way, hope maybe that gives you some insight. Don't go SWIMMING in the future friend. Welcome to the BL...

Crystal crushed up becomes powder. With Ketamine, it should be Powder to begin with when you are snorting it. It may come out as Crystals, but it should go up your nose as powder.

Also, perhaps the dealer is cutting it himself. He could be buying large amounts and cutting it, thus the powder aspect when you first receive it.

well in that case I am grateful for the input

Powder K is usually cooked from vials. This either gives you powder or loose crystal chunks that quickly turn into powder.

Crystal or shardy Ketamine is usually mass produced for illicit use or otherwise diverted from laboratories before it would be turned into liquid.

Then again, you can recrystalize or powderize Ketamine afterwards, so it's impossible to say for sure, but what I've said above is usually the case (assuming it's good K)

would this be considered preform? i've also been told that cooked K loses its potency very quickly. is that true?

 

[itsok]

^ i used to evaporate the liquid vials by pouring it on a plate on top of boiling water. it seemed to not lose potency. its important to not burn it. just slowly evaporate the liquid...hence the double boiler method

Theres abit of averageish good powder going around but also some ?????????????? sparkly powder that isnt mxe and is total shite Bad times.

Yeah I guess so, for a huge generalization...

K cooked from vials can certainly turn into crystal form rather than powder, the thing is though: people tend to want to rush the process even if there is no immediate need for a hurry. More like a 'lets get it over with good and fast' mentality I guess.
Slowly cooked liquid K can afford crystals even if they are messed up scraping them. Quickly cooked liquid K, even that probably gets a microcrystalline appearance. But even if pure big K crystals are sought after (if that is what is to be concluded), of course always crush them properly before you snort.
Also surely - referring to bluedolphin's post - pharmaceutical Ketamine (liquid) creates very salty keta.

Crystals implicate or suggest purity. There is the popular way of looking at it:
With powder you have no idea, it could be something else, there are lots of powders. Possible crapshoot.

Ketamine crystals can have different shapes, there is a signature characteristic form: the rod-shaped crystals are typical and may or may not help you confirm the identity of the product... crystals are not likely to be mixed with other crystals. But powders cannot easily be distinguished, and that's the main point.
I do seem to recall that most times I got my K, I should say specifically with unfamiliar batches I would test it. And I also recall misjudging the timing of the onset of the bumps or lines and absolutely underestimating the potency.

Some cuts i.e. mixed powders you can taste, like they have a sort of tang or texture or some physical property that lets you detect presence of a cut.


Hehe K... what else would make it possible to shave only half your face and then getting too confused or caught up and not continue xD
