'R' isomer should really be called 'D-Ketamine' to keep up with the Latin but Scientists get dumber and dumber each year so whatever.

There's much debate (online, as far as I can tell) as to what really differentiates these two isomers of Ketamine: Many people believe (including whoever wrote the Wikipedia article) that the 'S-Ketamine' is significantly more potent than the 'R' isomer, which is supposedly a better general anaesthetic. I'll share what I've encountered in my experiences as I have had the privilege of doing *both* at points in time.

The 'S' feels like a retard-iffier drug - but at the same time it definitely is strong as fuck. It characteristically comes in little crystalline shards that must be crushed up (very satisfying) before you ingest. I snort some and consistently lose 50 IQ points and start drooling all over myself. It feels like I'm buzzing throughout my entire body but have a feerish state of mind. Reaching the 'K-hole' is very easy on this one which is not always a positive thing. You totally forget what time is becase you're so retarded you just focus on what your dog-like eyes are oriented towards. If you've never K-holed before, It best represents what Jacob Singer went through in Jacob's Ladder. (horrific dissocociative hallucinatory epxerience before you realise that you died ten years ago in the jungles of Vietnam - and this is the last gasp of your conciousness) Almost as if not more fucked than shroom-induced psychotic episode.

The 'R-Ketamine' is another story: Definitely much weaker so to speak, but I personally beleive is a much more accessable experience. This one looks like a big quartz rock that you have to smash up. I never felt like I was a true retard off this stuff - I could still have fun on this and realistically do things at the same time; what really does it for 'R' though is that all its 'trips' are inside your head. For example, the first time I did it it felt a hypnagogic dream where you swear that you turned off the lamp; or that you got up form the cough to wash your hands, while in reality you've been sitting still for the last ten minutes bobbing back and forth while your head feels like its doing summersaults in the void. You are definitely still smart enough to remember what time is, (or who and where you are) but it feels like it's drawn out tenfold and you'll start wondering if maybe you shouldn't have done this while you're supposed to be writing a paper. This was also my first Ket isomer which my boys were telling me was 'the trippier one' which I would somewhat stand by - but that is definitely a biased impression that I was given beforehand.

Now there's some people out there who also claim that all the 'R' or 'S' you get outside a lab/med facility is actually bullshit and that everything is always racemic all the time. I cannot on that, nor would I really agree wth that statement. However I am also not in any position to claim authority on this matter, so anything is possible unless proven otherwise. Any real Ketamine experts are welcome to chime in and grace the masses.

In conclusio; though 'S' Ketamine is definitely 'more powerful' than its right-handed sister, that is no indication that it is in any way 'better' and that the other is shit. 'R' Ket is friggin dope and a chill time and I would always reccomend it to anybody. Still no matter what always test your ket tho coz they're putting more bullshit like Xylazine and elephant-cock softener and whatnot in street score.
 
I knew proper K addicts preferring R to "function" daily .

I think S is very good, good for tripping but it lacks this physical high that is interesting and doesnt last enough at some point.

Racemic is definitely available and I tend to think that I prefer it. They used to call it the 50/50. Liter times...
