I am a fairly heavy k user (always insufflate) and I was thinking of trying it orally.

Yes I have searched previous threads and done my research but I wanted to get some first hand reviews / accounts of your guys experiances with oral ketamine.

I know alot of people will be quick to say its a waste of a good drug but anyway

Whats it like? Whats the body load like? Whats the high like? etc etc
 
never tried myself, but I've heard that it turns into norketamine when ingested and acts as a sedative. You'll also need more to get the effect you want
 
^^definitely will need more. I haven't personally ingested it orally other than the occasional like lick of the bottom of the bag or finger. it tastes like shit haha
 
yeah pretty tasty stuff. you'd have to put it in a gelcap, I've seen it like that before.
 
Yeah i've also read/heard that only a certain percentage (30% I read somewhere) gets digested and that it acts more of a sedative. I came across this as I was looking for an alernative to snorting also, as my nose was in bad shape.
 
You will VASTLY increase the chances of bladder damage.

At least when its taken nasaly it is easy to hack up and cough out left overs rather than swallow/digest them.

If you want better effects, just take a month or so off to reduce tolerance.
 
From Erowid:
Oral Ketamine Dosages
by body weight approx total
Threshold .3 mg / lb 40 - 50 mg
Light .6 mg / lb 50 - 100 mg
Common .75 - 2 mg / lb 75 - 300 mg
Strong 1.5 - 2.5 mg / lb 200 - 450 mg
The K Hole 3 - 4 mg / lb 500 + mg

Onset : 5 - 20 minutes (depending on stomach contents)
Duration : 90 minutes
Normal After Effects : 4 - 8 hours

Oral doses are prepared from a powder by placing the powder in a cup and pouring about 1 cm of hot water (tap should be ok) in it and stiring to solution. The remainder of the cup is filled with an acid such as orange juice. Ketamine itself tastes quite bad.

Prophetic, look through the trip reports on erowid. There´s bound to be some for oral.
 
Ketamine is heavily metabolised by the liver into norketamine, a more sedating drug which is also the metabolite which causes liver damage.
When something is absorbed from the GI tract it goes straight to the liver, so a lot is converted instantly, producing a more sedating high, and increasing the overall amount of norketamine produced.
Insufflated ket does not go straight to the liver, so there is a smaller amount converted over the whole experience, and what is, is converted slower.

If you are a heavy user the increased norketamine will not be of any assistance to your bladder, and you may not enjoy it as much. Stick to sublingual or plugged administration if your nose is becoming damaged, or better yet, have a break.

Can I just ask, (I'm assuming you take k insuflated yourself), do you spit out the 'drip's'? I ask because I always swallow them as it seems to have a harder hitting effect on me or is this just physcological?

thanks
 
I always used to take it orally. I never noticed any difference whatsoever to snorting it (certainly it's not more sedating). There's perhaps a slightly longer come-up. It seems to hit all of a sudden, you're thinking that not much is happening and then you're in K land.

I never had any bladder problems and I was working my way through a kilo of 100% pure stuff from China at the time.
 
Ismene, it would seem like you are a rarity.

Why not just IM it? I started IMing it last month as to avoid the possibility of upsetting my respiratory tract if I snorted it with bronchitis. I'm glad that I did.

Ketamine would always ravage my stomach just from the drip, which I would mostly spit out if I could.

I hear plugging ket isn't really a good idea too.
 
I hear the drip/taste of Ketamine is really gross and even a complete turn off for many people.

If you have no stigma about injection then small IM dosing seems to be the way to go for a new ROA.

I can vouch for that, it seems to be getting worse for me aswell, I try to have a nice drink to hand while i do it now.
 
^^^ Ahh I see you've gone the intramuscular route ashxcore. Lovely, innit? Nothing quite compares.

I will second Ismene here. I've used it orally, with very similar effects, but just requiring a bit more. If I were to shoot 150 -200 mg I would be eating 500 mg. I vastly prefer the intramuscular route, as I love the come up and down, and it is "smoother" and more predictable. I also am one of those who has gone thru periods of using obscene amounts of K for months, years, and has never had any bladder, gall bladder, or kidney problems. I know we always cite the "norketamine is the culprit" around here, but I still haven't seen any real data supporting this. Hamhurricane brought this up recently and it has made me think.....

Does any one have any data for this?
 
Was it you who was talking to me about it? Yes, I have gone the way of the needle. I've injected into my vastus lateralis about 12 times now since then! This was precipitated by having gotten ket while having bronchitis, and not having been able to resist diving into a hole but not wanting to possibly irritate my respiratory tract by insufflating
