What does the body high from ketamine feel like?

[Innerpeace]

It can be easy to use it when feeling bad, when all that's needed is some good sleep, a good workout, sun, time spent with loved one, and healthy food. This is why its a good idea to not have any readily available for months. When youve been up a few days , with say an hour or two of sleep a few nights in a row, it doesnt seem to work as well ime, and before this havent used it in months. The best thing to do is take a benzo, cbd, baclofen, whatever and go to sleep and wait fort another day bc for me it causes me to stay up. I also dont take stimulates , sometimes lower doses, but most of the time I dont

I suspect a batch of fxe was cut bc it had a stimulate effect but some r -k had a similar effect and that could have been cut. Too little can make for a nice time, say after a shroom or sub 4 trip . Only used it twice before an 1plsd trip, never after. It does seem to change mood fast, whether its depression or changing mood. I think many people think they're depressed when theyre not and use this unnecessarily.

Too much isnt fun , ive gone under, or unconscious from too much, having weird thoughts. The power cord analogy is a good one bc that what it felt like. Totally black and knowing i was alive but couldn't control anything, until your conscious enough to wiggle your toes. The wonky feeling can be fun when sober enough to walk but its best to just lay back in a recliner, against a bed, with a bed pillow and wait for it to wear off. Listening to music can seem to be delightful for sorting things out, compared to a movie, I guess each has their place.

For the wealthy who can truley afford 300 $ for an 50-100 mgs iv at a clinic, if $$ wasnt an issue id prefer this bc I can go when I want , and wouldnt have access to it. If the money isnt there, its not even worth it, this is where mental discipline comes in. Say you made a mnistake on taxes, didnt deduct 400$, and have to pay it, or a doodad happened , had to get a new battery, have to put more money this month into business, then wait or stay away. I consider myself to have extreme mental discipline, and have gone months between uses while had easy access to it, I do feel it can help, and can be overused, and abused. For someone with even above average or average (i know we all think we have super strong mental discipline) strong mental discipline or less go with a clinic or maybe a friend who has it bc obviously low mental disciplined people will abuse it. Its better safe than sorry

Edit in I forgot to add , if you desire to awake faster where your eyes dont have the disso eye look as much, like say people are going to see you, you don’t want to see you with disso eyes, take a cold shower or an alternating cold and hot shower, ending up cold esp on face

One of the interesting things about music is when I've been deepest into a ketamine trip, and then I'm beginning to come out of it (so I know what music is, that I need to ground myself, but still very confused and can't grasp reality properly), music will be unintelligible. This has happened on heavy heavy acid trips too, it basically feels like every sound or track in the song is playing at a different speed or changing every moment, so I can hear certain aspects of a familiar song but it is no longer registering as a single coherent thing. I listened to Should I Stay Or Should I Go? by the Clash once after a terrifying trip and it felt like the guitars in the left and right were about five seconds delayed from each other, and the vocals were just separated by minutes. Scary because music is one of the few things that really grounds me in life, and it would have me questioning whether I could ever enjoy it again.

Something very interesting about psychedelics and dissociative drugs for me is the profound terror and confusion I associate with the experience while I'm in the thick of it, but then I can't really remember what was so scary once I'm sober again. It's as though there was something so powerful and complex that I encountered that it can't be brought back with me, and there are glimpses of it in my memory but really nothing at all I can explain or remember. With acid, it was a couple peak experiences on high doses in which I felt like I encountered something timeless and therefore imprisoning, as though I got locked into a different world where it didn't matter how long I was there, even visiting there basically trapped a part of my mind somewhere forever and it's still there, it just doesn't really have any connection to my normal life and I therefore don't miss it or notice its absence. Same with ketamine, although it was somehow more intense with the K and I feel like I re-entered a different sort of life than the one I had before K I just can't really notice the differences. Almost like a different dimension, so to speak, something changed in me rather than something getting left behind but since I still made it back I will never really understand what I went through.

The K just felt like it basically took my brain out and reorganized it then my brain basically just found its way home albeit in a different formation. I still have a pretty visceral memory of the coming-to after the trip, where it felt like I had zero bearing or context to my entire world and although I found a functional framework as I came down, it wasn't quite the same one I had before. I don't think this was a bad thing per se, but it really freaked me out and I imagine others have had much stronger responses that impacted their thinking way more than my experience did for me.

Wow,to me it sounds like you do these type of drugs with a negative expectation and that’s exactly what you’ll get ,,each and every time,,because you are setting yourself up for failure before you even begin…
I look at these drugs as a temporary escape which is going to be a great experience and that’s been working for me since I was an early teen selling purple microdot mescaline or paper acid or shrooms,,Im always looking for it to be fantastic and it always has been,to the point of bringing one hit of paper too a Dead show and buying two drops of liquid and another hit of paper acid bought off the street outside the show…I swore I was in a spaceship that night in MSG,then to exit the arena and have NYC finest motorcycle cops circling outside the the Garden sounding like a continued drum solo was a night to remember…

Anyway this is my stern warning to not follow my example. Since the above happened I have a hard rule about not ever driving if I'm on anything. Even weed. Since I know my luck will eventually run out when it comes to law enforcement and I don't want to kill anyone. These days if I plan on doing any heroic dosing I lock the keys to my car away in a time safe and I take the battery out of the car so I'm not tempted to attempt to start it without the key. I could still bump start it of course but I figure having to go through so much effort would clue me in that I'm doing something stupid before I end up on the road.

Thank you for driving safe. I've fucked around, managed not to kill anyone (thankfully) while driving, and appreciate people like you who drive responsibily.

Yeah most of my friends got DUIs as well. Usually multiple times. But they were the kind of people that would ride around with alcohol in the cup holder all of the time. I was never really a fan of alcohol so I wasn't ever tempted to do that. Plus I grew up with a mother that drove drunk everywhere and drank while driving constantly. So I had my fill of dealing with drunks behind the wheel long before I got my own license.

I'd been driving on public roads for over 10 years by the time I got my license. Since I only got it when I turned 18 and I'd been driving on public roads since I was old enough to reach the pedals. Things were different back then (our county was 20+ years behind the rest of the country) and the cops didn't care about all us children driving around as long as they knew we were farm kids. It was very common for children that lived on farms to drive into town all of the time for supplies and to buy their parents cigarettes. I basically got the 1960s-1970s experience growing up long after those decades had passed.

The one time I drove drunk I had extreme double vision. But I was familiar enough with the roads I was on and I can drive blind folded when sober by feel alone. So not having full use of my vision didn't bother me as much as it probably does for most people. My reaction times don't seem to get as delayed as most peoples when I'm on alcohol, benzos and other downers for whatever reason. Downers basically just even me out and make my reaction times normal. I don't know why. I assume it is because the act of driving became an automatic process for me a long long time ago since I spent most days in my youth driving something all day everyday. But it isn't just limited it to driving.

I spent a lot of time testing my reaction time while on various substances using various types of video games and computer programs. I always score way above average while sober and then they start to drop into the normal range once I reach say 6mg of xanax+60mg of oxycodone (with a tolerance of course). It's probably why I was so addicted to both of those substances for so long. They slowed my mind down enough that I became "normal" which helped me deal with being around other people.

With fighting games in particular I can react faster than the lag time of a modern TV+controller. I could consistently react to something happening on screen within 1-2 frames provided I was using a low lag controller and a CRT television (which doesn't have any display lag).

Yeh I've never had any trouble going about all aspects of my day on benzos,
But add alcohol into the mixture and it's tatties over the side
I wouldnt even consider getting into my van if I'd only had half a beer
There was a time 10 years ago or so that most people in my country could have 1 pint of beer and be under the limit ,it was almost a given after golf that you were safe to have a pint ,not now though
For the better I think
