Health What do I need to know before injecting Ketamine?

I was reading injected K is 3 to 4 times more powerful, I really have to snort a lot. So i decided to try injecting it. Despite the stigma i feel about this ROA my poor nose cant take any more abuse. I have no access to liquid Ketamine, so this is for powder

So what size needle? What is a gauge? I'm looking on amazon one is half inch needle, the other an inch? What should I use? They probably teach this stuff in school now but I'm from the generation with huge prejudice against needles

Am i going to need to heat the K to get it into solution? I'm planning on 100 mg dose. I have distilled water. Anything else i need to know? Planning on upper leg, wont be until next week

Is this one good? Someone said in comments on amazon they use it for steroids

 
Be sitting down. Especially if you IV it; you won’t even have time to sit down and you’ll wake up bloody with a bump on your head and the needle still jammed into your body.


What gauge is that needle? 28 gauge is a good thickness, very thing, no sense in using a thick needle

It seems a bit long for both IM and IV but it will work.

If it isn’t out of a medical grade vial also buy micron filters and filter the water solution before injecting for sterility and for removing solid micro particles

Its super addictive but if you don’t fully hole a few hits of nitrous will really send you into a hole temporarily
 
This is the superior ROA. I thought it would be more hassle but its straight forward, i dont feel like a huge junkie, I went down to the supervised injection site (safeworks) and got a kit with sterile cup seems less sketch than a spoon. I was scared to ask my pharmacist for anything. I definitely had to heat it up to get it into solution, it was clear though. I didnt know what to expect. Its weird because snorting it was bumps all night type of use but this more of a commitment to one big dose, i dont think all night redosing with syringes is a good idea, I'm not trying to relive the last days of matthew perry where he got like 37 shots in 3 days.

They have those big sharps yellow disposal bins here i am going to wear disguise when i put them in there.
 
If you don't have access to pharmaceutical grade ketamine and are planning on using street powder, I would actually almost recommend you IV it (with a sitter) rather than IM. Somewhat counterintuitively, IV is the more safe of the two if there are any impurities in what you're shooting.

Injected K is about 2x more bioavailable than snorted K, although subjectively it will obviously feel more intense on the come-up. But use no more than half your snorted dose.
You shouldn't have to heat the solution at all: ketamine is sufficiently water-soluble at room temperature.

Do be sitting or lying down, especially if you IV.

In the absence of a sitter you definitely want to make sure you're sufficiently upright that if you do vomit you don't choke. Stick a pillow behind your back or something.

I've only vomited in a khole once in my life but if I'd been laying on my back I'd be dead.
 
I recommend IM over IV as it can be difficult to get the needle out of your arm in time if you do IV. I actually haven’t tried IV ketamine but I don’t really see the benefit because IM is already so fantastic and less damaging if you have pure stuff. You want to IM in the upper outer quadrant of your butt (this area has the least nerves and is the least painful - I’ve hit a nerve from injecting into my thigh but luckily no long-term damage, just three months of a numb spot) - I do this by twisting. Make sure that you’re not tensing the muscle because that will make it more painful. I use 31G insulin needles because I dislike having unnecessarily large holes in my body. I prefer a 1 inch needle because with a shorter needle, the liquid isn’t going in as far and can leak out. Ideally, you want to inject slowly & steadily so that there’s more time for for the muscle to absorb the liquid, but if you don’t have very steady hands, it’s probably better to inject it more quickly.

I find I am able to k hole at surprisingly low doses, 40mg when I have no tolerance. If you’re not looking to k hole, I would recommend under 30mg. I’ve used lower doses like that for pain and I can still be pretty functional. I always lie down on my back. Make sure to put your needle well away from wherever you are first, though.

The idea of doing nitrous on ketamine kind of scares me! Does anyone really need that much disassociation?
