To cook or not to cook

[Regretimine]

Ive Been a recreational ketamine user for some time now and i am always used to getting in a fine powder. I recently acquired some which is larger crystals, just abit bigger than sugar. I was advised to cook it again, why is this. Is to increase strength or to make it into a finer powder, if so why not just crush it?

Crushing it up should be fine, though cooking it up can make it a finer and more consistent powder. There's a lot of misinformation out there though, a lot of people just seem think that 'cooking' ketamine involves something more than just evaporating it.

There's a detailed thread about it here:
why do people cook ketamine?
It seemed the general consensus was that the only purpose for cooking ketamine that is already in dry crystal form is, as nAON said, to make a fine consistent powder. The powder is more like a fine salt, and some people also said it was even easier than crushing it, and the resulting powder gentler on the nose.
