On another note, I have read that Ketamine+MXE can be an excellent combination. Can anyone confirm this and go further into detail? I am yet to try MXE, but I'm hoping for a more lucid, yet twisted and colorful k hole experience that still has me remember most of it. Think my expectations could be met?
I can confirm that they are a good combination. To be honest with you, I only tried this combination because ketamine is so hard to come by here that when I came across a couple of grams I figured that I'd be able to 'stretch' it by boosting it with MXE, so initially my intentions was simply to make my ketamine go further. I tried the combo both by via snorting and plugging at various dosages.
At lower doses snorted, say 50mg Ketamine/30mg MXE, the two synergise perfectly; in fact this is probably what most people would ideally want (or what they expect) MXE to be like. You have the instant come up of the ketamine, and the ketamine keeps you relaxed (tastes the edge off the mania) and adds to the visuals. I went to a bunch of punk/noise gigs in houses and at bars on this combo, and it was excellent- the ketamine made me really get into the music, but I felt more able/inclined to move round as well as have conversations with people, even if you're still completely unable to make small talk because your brain has forgotten all its autocues.
The best thing though was the fact that the MXE gave low-dose ketamine the legs it just doesn't have. I should mention that I didn't redose either the ket or the mxe, it wasn;t necessary because as you're starting to come down from the ketamine after about and hour or so the MXE is starting to kick in fully, by the time the ketamine has freed you from its grip you're peaking on MXE, but the experience as a whole retains a subjectively noticible 'ketamine flavour', it's not as if you can really 'feel' the ketamine wearing off and the MXE taking the lead- the combo does have a continuity to it.
I also tried higher hole doses plugged- I think that there has been a lot of misinformation about rectal ketamine, I don't buy the 'it's as inefficent as oral' dosage guide on erowid and elsewhere. Ketamine
is suprisingly effective nasally, but plugging is definately significantly more efficent/quicker than oral. My general dose was of 200mg ketamine + 50-100mg MXE, figuring MXE is about 3-4 times as strong as ketamine and my objective was a strong-hole experience. Occasionally I redosed, I also had several stronger experiences with higher doses. I'm less comfortable reccomending this combination, although they do synergise in a similar manner to low-doses, which does indeed mean that you can prolong the K-hole, there are many more negative side effects.
The first thing is there seems to be a compounding of the amnesia, I'm not saying that I have perfect recall of my dissociative experiences usually- there is a certain degree of blackout in any 'hole' type experience, regardless of what substance you're taking. But certainly, there seemed to me a much stronger 'fading in and out of blackout' component to the experience as opposed to a little memory loss, generally indicating the 'peak' of my k-hole. Most worringly I found that the MXE's stimulant effects to be strong enough to 'overpower' ketamines anesthetic effects- I moved around while being 100% blackout-in-the-k-hole. Depending on your situation this could lead to your body finding itself in some very unfortunate situations while your mind is getting to grips with metaphysical reality with help from our dolphin buddies.
As you're experienced with PCP I'm sure that you'll take all the necessary precautions when experimenting with this combination, however other people- particularly people who have a bit of ketamine experience, but never the less haven't had
strong dissociative experiences (ketamine, on the whole, is not as intense as almost any dissociative bar nitrous oxide) should take care and really think about having a trip sitter for this one. Tread carefully with this combo, particularly if you're going to surf the MK (Mortal Kombat?) hole.
My brain has obviously been writing a horribly long response to Seikos post, but I think I need to let it ferment a little longer...
