Removing salt from ketamine - easy

Recently two of my friends and I went to our guy's place. When we came he greeted us with a sample of "slightly above average" k for us to try while we waited to grab, when I looked at it initially I could easily see salt in it and told him so. He went to his room and left us with a ceramic plate with a card, straw and about a vial poured out onto it.

I started chopping it out between us, about half of it to my one friend and just a bump to the other who doesn't frequent the substance so much. Both of them exclaimed how much it burnt, which was foreseeable. I however only took a bump of it knowing the burn and not wanting to get fucked up at the time, so my complaints were to a minimum.

As we were waiting I got bored and started playing with this line on the dish. "I'm gonna remove this salt grain by grain" As I held the plate above my chest while sitting on a couch I noticed that the salt easily rolled around on a slightly off balanced dish.

So it hit me, chop the line back and forth letting the salt roll away. This worked Beautifully. With a small amount of effort I removed almost all of the salt. What I was left with was a line of salt and a line of k and non-salt material. Approximately 1/3 of it was salt.

When it was time for us to leave I had the line. No Burn at all, however it still tasted very gross when the drip came, followed by a very enjoyable, fast acting and clean high.

ketamine crystals come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on where its from and how its prepared, a fine powder is in no way indicative of uncut ketamine (or unsalted8) ) in fact it is most likely the opposite and large crystal shards are a sign of unadulterated material. visually separating a cut powder will almost always be impossible. salt crystal can be powdered, and ketamine powder can be crystallized. the probable reason the powder burnt less is because it was more absorbable.

This method is strictly for removing crystals which are obviously table salt (cube type shaped, rather consistent size) while leaving the finely powdered crystals (unknown, don't risk removing) and k crystals (long and thin, varying in length and thickness) which don't roll around very well.

Ketamine I receive is rarely fine powder, it is very typical for most of the crystals to be fairly large/intact. It is very easy to see the difference between salt and k when it is poured out.

It has recently been a common practice by some dealers in my area to cut their product with just straight table salt

lol what, cut k with salt?

Yeah, it's rather unfortunate. Some time in the summer we experienced a drought and many dealers resorted to heavily cutting their k with table salt. Since then the trend has stuck around to some degree.
 
Many forms of pharmaceutical ketamine in liquid form are in solution with normal saline (water + 0.9% sodium chloride). This is likely to be the reason why a lot of ketamine bought off the street is "cut" with salt.
 
The best way i've found was to sit it at the top of the plate, shake the plate Side to side for a second, then tap on the plate with a card. The salt falls more quickly than the crystals. Once the shit falling turns to a mixture of both shards and cut scrape it back to the top and start tapping again.

The shaking side to side isnt always nessecary or helpful, depends on what cut your fuckin with.
 
Or just sniff it?

Do you try to visually separate the inositol, flour, baking soda, or what have you from your coke?

People cut shit, it happens. Deal with it and just sniff it. Find a better source.

I don't use coke much, but yeah, I believe many people do try to remove as many cutting agents as possible, I believe it is called 'washing' your coke or something. No idea how it is done but for sure people try to separate the shit out so what they have is a pure product.

Ketamine in my area is usually cut with Creatine. Once or twice it had sugar in it, which really wasn't too bad to snort, but then my nose was clogging and sticky shit was dripping out the front and I was all like, WTF is this shit? And tasted it and it was a sweet chemically taste, hah.

EDIT

My new source for K is clean as a whistle though! Too bad I'm now a poor university student and not a rich high-school kid able to blow all his cash on drugs anymore... :(

Maybe you should go to your kitchen and snort some salt, it's not a pleasant experience 8) this isn't a thread about coke or other fine powders.

If I can spend a few minutes to make some bad k better I don't see why I shouldn't.
 
I have sniffed salt with k before, to see if I could tell the difference. I cut it 1/5th to the gram. I couldn't tell any potency difference, only a little more salty. Didn't burn any differently.
 
cutting K with salt?? fucking hell that sounds disgusting! I will never do K I haven't seen made right in front of me a few hours before haha...But I guess coz it's alot easier to get over here in the UK coz my friends have veterinarian-grade liquid supply, as they have horses. I don't sniff K anymore anyhow - I don't like a drip as I'm starting to trip, it wigs me out...
 
Use pure ethanol/isopropanol to dissolve the ketamine hydrochloride. Sodium chloride is insoluble in any alcohol, so you just decant off the alcoholic soln of ketamine and evaporate to leave behind salt free ketamine hydrochloride crystals.

That simple :)
 
i did the same thing or tried to and it worked a lil. it took sum of da cut out but wat i thought was kitty styll had a salty burn to it. I ahve to admit the kitty i have sucks i got it from sum random guy at a rave. Also who cuts kitty wit fucking salt dats jsut dumb if any cut use MSG

Who cuts ket with MSG!?! 8o 8( 8o.

I imagine it has a pleasingly savoury flavour too it though :).

Admittedly, the kiddies around here have been known to cut it with crushed paracetamol... not nice :|.
 
Like I said before, if you take a pharmaceutical ketamine vial and dry it out, it will have salt in it. A vast majority of injectable solutions come as the drug dissolved in NS (Normal Saline, 0.9% sodium chloride in water). I, personally, don't mind the salty taste and slight burn. On top of that, when I flush my nostrils with warm water afterward I'd bet that hot salt water in your sinus cavities is a pretty good way to keep them intact.

Monosodium glutamate? That doesn't sound too unreasonable. Seeing as how ketamine is a competitive antagonist at the glutamate receptor, maybe MSG (which dissolves into glutamate and sodium when ingested) would reduce the "kick" of the ketamine by partially reversing its action
 
All of these things everyone has mentioned I have saw K cut with. MSG and MSM, Salt, flour...random benzos. I know I got this really crapy chalky powdery K that honestly seemed like it was cut with a well crushed up lorazepam or something. Those tiny tiny ass white one(Canada) like .5s or 1mgs but they are like a microdot size lol. A bit bigger
