Surely the main problem is that the original post doesn't actually say anything useful?
Sorry but you are coming across as an ungrateful spoiled brat. A lot of people like me have NO connection to ANY K at all. At least you can get some.
There is often confusion surrounding the difference between the isomers and not everyone agrees, but anyway IME it is S-ketamine that tends to produce crystals that are shaped cube or barrel like, smooth and chunky. Some similarity to the appearance of sugar.
R-ketamine on the other hand IME tends to look jagged, shard or needle like. I really wanna recrystallize separate isomers sometime and put it under a microscope, unfortunately I don't have a microscope mountable camera...
S-ketamine is more potent by weight than R-ketamine and I agree that it is bad for your insides, it feels dirtying and burdening to me. The psychological effect is more narcotic or anaesthetic while R-ketamine is much more psychedelic or schizo / psychosis like. You could consider both dissociative but it seems to me that S-ketamine leans a lot more on anaesthesia making you lose touch with the world while R-ketamine fucks with your cognition until you start failing to comprehend meaning and association.
Apparently non-recreational users who get ketamine administered in trials or medical settings prefer S-ketamine but these people are not looking for a trip. People who are looking for a trip may appreciate the relative lack of physical side-effects of R-ketamine. In my opinion the effects of the isomers are complementary and that makes normal racemic ketamine which is the most common, the most complete and effective even if pure R-ket is cleaner. Then again I bet S-ketamine is less likely to disturb a person mentally so you might call that clean as well.
I wonder if S-ketamine or more specifically its metabolite S-norketamine is the main perpetrator of long-term side effects associated with chronic ketamine (ab)use such as gallbladder cramping (K pains / K cramps) and damage to the bladder by thickening and scarring of the lining and cystitis.
