ketamine availability

[Lucy's Lover]

Hello

I have heard that ketamine is sold at petrol stations in places such as Kenya.

Can anyone confirm or deny this, also I am interested in local laws for regulation i.e. is it prescription only or is it just like buying a mars bar.

Thanks for your help

why would it be sold in petrol stations?

i had exactly the same brand of k that is in the pic in the article 2 weeks ago in cambodia, it was sold over the counter of a phamacy but its only half a g bottles and it wasnt cheap

 

[smackydowners]

according to the article, it's "only $4.50 a bottle" which was 50mg. that's like almost £60 a g!

10mg/ml - so 500mg per bottle. a fiver a gram feels like 2005 all over again.

 

[smackydowners]

ah right, maybe its 50mg per ml in that picture, so 500mg - that makes much more sense!!

My bladder is grateful that this isn't still the case though

A fiver a gram is still pretty expensive, you could buy it yourself from Chinese chemists in 2005 for £170 a kilo.

Fuck, I know stuff gets cheaper in bulk, but even at those knock off deals a kilo is a bit too much for me.

On another note wasn't it only made illegal in Ireland in 2010?

Course, but if you were just picking up a gram or two you'd likely be paying around a fiver.

£170 a ki that's insane! How much is 'not cheap' for Cambodia? Although I was looking to spend time in Africa so if anyone could shed more light on the situation and prices in the African nations that would be much appreciated

 

[Lucy's Lover]

Anyone able to answer my questions ie how much is 'not cheap' for Cambodia and does anyone have any information about any of the African nations, as I am planning on spending time there anyway.

Also if the vice article is true, does anyone know where the petrol stations buy their supply from?

Thanks for your help

Course, but if you were just picking up a gram or two you'd likely be paying around a fiver.

I can't remember K being a fiver a gram in 2005. More like £25.

I wasn't using anything in 2005, but 2003-2004 in the SW it was common to see it for £5 a gram - I never saw it above a tenner.

You're so square daddio - on the bright side, your £25 quid gram probably helped all the other grams still be a fiver in 2005

(seems appropriate to repeat that joke i pinched from the joke thread here: why did the hipster burn his nose?

because he snorted ketamine before it was cool (or something)

 

[THECATINTHEHAT]

Ketamine was definitely available for £5/g in 2005 if you knew the right people, £10/g was common in the sw. £15/g seemed the standard in most other parts of the country. You from up north ismene? Seemed to be much less available in thhe north back then.

I'm afraid we can't answer alot of these questions for you as it's delving into sourcery area. Bluelight on the whole doesn't allow price discussion of any type as a rule but for some reason we tolerate personal amounts in EADD, certainly not bulk amounts, historical or otherwise.

All of that isn't aimed directly at you Lucy but this thread in general..

Keep to the rules please folks

 

[Lucy's Lover]

Thanks for keeping me on track Scotch.
I was more just wondering if this chemical was openly sold, but I guess I did drift into price discussion.
Thanks again, if you know a way to ask what I want more specifically which would be in keeping with the rules and keep everyone on topic could you post it here or PM me it? I know it's not related to HR but just a point of curiosity

Ketamine wasn't even illegal in 2005 was it? (In the UK)

Pure stuff used to be £10-£15 a gram around 2010, then it kinda disappeared.
