edit: Probably because the lack of the chlorine atom affects the way your body metabolized it. Maybe more active metabolites then K? Let me do some research on the metabolism of K and I'll get back to this thread.

edit: One clue is the metabolism of ketamine the chlorine atom is never removed all the way through excretion
edit: Ketamines first metabolite Norketamine, is 33% as potent as Ketamine after demethylation. Maybe Deschlroketamine gets metabolized the same way and its first metabolite is the same as Norketamime just without the chlorine atom. And that metabolite may be much more potent than Norketamines. Also maybe Deschloroketamines first metabolite doesn't further get metabolized like with ketamine so that's why it lasts so long? CYP3A4 is the enzyme that breaks down ketamine, but maybe it has a "harder" time metabolizing DesK because of the lack of the chlorine atom on it. I would reccomend doing some research on the metabolism of other more studied "deschloro" dissociatives, and that may lead to some insight.
All just speculation. I'm just an amateur chemist haha.
