Hello all,
I've done Ketamine many times, nasally and intramuscularly. Particularly when I've done it intramuscularly I had the most unbelievable trip ever. I truly believe I was somehow floating outer space and completely misunderstood the entire concept of the universe and life as it is.
I'm just wondering if this was a particular experience or if some of you had similar experiences. If so, please share.
Thanks a lot!
Oh twoface...you are not alone. I genuinely do not know how many ketamine users there are on BL that have experienced the absolute bliss/unimaginable disconnect from anything representing reality as we know it through ketamine use.
My example, I believe, is unusual in that I have read less than a dozen trip reports that suggested the user had an experience that came within one-billionth of my own with ketamine.
A little background (I'll skip the dick-sizing style '"Here's my other drug use bro" listing - actually that would indicate a fairly limp dick anyhow
)
I first tried ketamine at a house party. I'd been drinking for some eight hours and was arguably in the worst possible state to consume anything other than black coffee. Earlier in the night, I'd arranged to switch with a far better connected friend who had planned to try ketamine for the first time and so it would instead be my first time.
When I arrived at the party, I apparently approached the line of ketamine (estimated size ~ 150 to 200mg if pure / 50- 100mg if cut - I'm inclined to assume it was relatively uncut as the K drip combined with my level of alcohol based inebriation would fit such an aggressive response) with no apprehension and snorted the k without any problems. Well, unless you consider that the tern 'problem' to be puking - which I am reliably informed that I did 3 times over the kitchen of a house party venue, belonging to someone I'd never met. It seems that after impressively coating much of the kitchen in vomit, I proceeded to join my friends as if nothing happened.
I don't remember the period during which the ketamine slowly took effect but I can remember when it kicked in fully. I totally lost the ability to understand anything anyone said to me. I was so relieved that my friends were sober enough to understand that this was the case and they definitely were the reason why I didn't freak out during this period. Sure, I took a couple of trips to the bathroom and sat on the toilet whilst trying to get a grip on some sort of reality but I couldn't comprehend english for some 6 hours.
Fast forward six years...
I purchased 11 grams of ketamine from the only online retailer that openly offered it. I tried a few test dosages of 50mg - obviously I was sober this time. I felt a little spaced out but fundamentally it wasn't too scary. My interest was courtesy of Michael Alig's description in the Party Monster documentary, of how ketamine produced Mario Brothers style blocky visuals and I had little realization that there was a world beyond the visuals to be explored via ketamine.
I cant remember when I broke through to the depths of k-holing (I still despise that term, if people insist on using it then write K-Whole-ing or similar) but the reason I replied to your post was because my first breakthrough hole involved myself rearranging the universe on a planetary level by waving my limbs in front of my eyes - though, my eyes were closed and I may not have waved anything whatsoever.
To cut to the chase (I know, I know - finally 'SpellmanT7 writes the longest fucking replies anyone ever had the displeasure to read, right?!?) here is my recipe for ketamine nirvana:
a: rule - at most use ketamine 6 times in one Year
b: prepare a totally safe environment that is essentially consistent with soft-play. If you happen to stand up, don't expect your body to understand how to operate your limbs correctly and thus maintain any balance
c: ritual - ok, from start to finish here is my most productive k-hole method:-
i. Prepare a room so that there is zero clutter and it is as clean as possible
ii Select a movie that will seed a mindset that will contribute to an alternate train of thought for the ketamine experience (in all honesty, The Matrix works as well as anything, regardless of how cheesy it may seem!)
iii. Prepare a comfortable bed from which to watch the movie
iv. Weigh out the ketamine and have it set aside for immediate consumption after the film concludes
v. Have a playlist around 10 minutes long (based on insufflation) which you start after snorting the last line of your ketamine - I recommend three lines, my personal dosage is between 250 - 300mg
vi. Leave a very soft lamp/highly dimmed light as the last light source and have the on/off switch within your grasp of the bed.
vii. When reality begins to disappear, hit the switch to the light and NEVER EVER fight the dissociation. Do not try to keep your eyes open. Do not be alarmed if your heart rate feels slightly raised.
From here, it's down to your ability to let go. I always thought that because I had no background in meditation or similar, my ketamine experiences would be limited. It couldn't be further from the truth. A bad ketamine experience is still equivalent to six months worth of excitement and life-affirming activities. At best, I've had ketamine experiences that rivaled every great moment of my life being simultaneously combined a billion times over. Ketamine has a unique way of producing the scariest closed eye visuals, yet allowing an individual to return to baseline and appreciate the tiniest aspects of everyday reality as truly glorious.

Ketamine is the most incredible substance I've ever experienced. The reason I've never abused it is solely due to the fact that to lose anything of the experience, would be comparable to losing one of the greatest component pieces of my life ever. I have never met anyone who understood my views on ketamine. I have never been able to understand those who claim to 'love ketamine' and yet 'have to take it daily or weekly'. I have a unique respect for ketamine unlike any other drug I ever took in my lifetime.
