Oral Ketamine 100mg - Experienced - an underwhelming experiment

[Kallisti23]

I decided to experiment with oral ketamine. It is something I?ve been curious about trying for a while but have never done before. There is very little first-hand information about it online and the information that does exist is very contradictory, ranging from that it doesn?t work and is a waste of ketamine to a few people saying it?s their favourite method of ingestion. Most people talk about it at high to k-hole doses, but I was more interested in lower doses as I have found the very odd reference comparing it to barbiturates due to lowered psychedelic effects and heightened sedative effects through its conversion into norketamine when taken orally. I already insufflated 120mg earlier today and I was taking ketamine all day yesterday, so my tolerance may be up. Curiosity finally got the better of me though and I decided to try the oral route at a non K-hole level to hopefully be able to add something to the sparse online reporting.

T+00.30:: I?ve started to notice a very mild dissociative effect start to creep in as my mind slows down a notch, and a gentle pleasurable feeling enters my body.
T+01.00: I smoked some hash and that definitely kicked things up a notch. I feel quite sedated and my palms are sweaty. I got very engaged for a bit looking stuff up on the computer and almost forgot I had taken anything, but when I stop I can definitely notice it. I can?t yet figure out whether this is pleasurable or not.
T+02.00: I drink a beer and the sedative effects definitely take centre stage, I feel nicely zonked.

It feels sort of like a sustained and more sedating ketamine afterglow. Some cannabis helps the effects greatly. I feel quite relaxed and lethargic, and there seems to be a mild anxiolytic effect. It is not unpleasant but the traditional downers are a lot better suited to the task.

All in all, it wasn?t really worth it at this dose anyway. There was some very mild euphoria at the come-up but generally it just made me feel like lying around and not doing much. Maybe a higher dose or lower tolerance would have yielded better results.

I agree that a lower tolerance would have likely yielded a better experience. It would have been interesting to see what this oral dose would have been like if you hadn't already dosed earlier in the day and the day before. Regardless, thanks for the report.

Haven't there been reports of people slipping ketamine into peoples drinks as a form of date rape drug? I don't see how though considering the quantity needed and the resulting taste. Of course, these "reports" I speak of could have just been lame story lines from crappy television and not actually based on fact... I can't remember exactly where I read/heard about it so take it with a huge grain of salt.

Ketamine has a very low oral BA, it is a waste to take it this way. Rectal is the same story.
If you do not want to use needles (like me), you should smell it since it is very effective, but well you already know it.

Your travel report supports the low effectiveness of oral ketamine.

Some people I know say oral ketamine is their favorite ROA, but the dose is more like 400mg, without tolerance, to hole. So not efficient at all, but longer-lasting and, like with other ACHs, oftentimes a "fuller" experience orally. I always wondered why practically every ACH I've tried except ketamine seems to work really well orally, at the same or even a lower dose than nasally, but ketamine doesn't? DCK is almost the same chemical as ketamine, it just lacks a chlorine, yet it works great orally.
