Regarding the dosage, take a look at this https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ketamine/ketamine_dose.shtml
Somebody needs to have a word with erowid about that page. What is the point in doing most measurements in mg/lb then switching to mg/kg for IV? The whole thing should be standardised, preferably mg/kg. Like this.
http://www.drugs.com/dosage/ketamine.html#Usual_Adult_Dose_for_Anesthesia
The median point on drugs.com, which is backed up by other sources, works out as 240mg for IV for anaesthesia or 800mg IM for anaesthesia for an average weight male (80kg).
The idea of rectal ketamine, as proposed on the erowid page, is also ridiculous. Ketamine is one drug you really shouldn't stick up your bum. It's a way different, horrible experience compared to any other ROA. I speak from experience.
