What robs your body/blood/organs of oxygen more: Ketamine, methoxetamine, PCP

[BigSmoothD]

I know that ketamine robs your blood supply of oxygen, thus robbing your organs (heart, brain, etc) of oxygen. Does PCP and MXE do the same on the same amount for comparable doses or is one safer then the other that way?

Thanks

Uhm, what? Do you have a link or reference for that? I'm pretty sure none of them will directly decrease the amount of oxygen in your blood, maybe by respiratory depression though.

How on earth would a chemical 'rob your blood' of oxygen that's bound to heme? Citation needed, bro.

All 3 are respiratory depressants (decrease breathing rate) but only slightly, the stimulating nature of these drugs is far more prevalent. i.e. Ketamine increases, not decreases, heart rate and blood pressure.

Respiratory depression is not the same as deprivation of oxygen.

Not to sound condescending in the least; this sounds like one of those "old raver's tales" you hear as hearsay from misinformed kids with glowsticks hanging around their necks. I should know, I used to be one of them...

I could see how incredibly gross overdoses of the drugs you listed could result in overly heavy anaesthesia, possibly resulting in hypoxic brain damage, but you would never see anything close to that effect at recreational dosages.

I have NEVER heard of ketamine or PCP being an oxygen depriving substance.. im not a scientist but im pretty sure that doesn't make sense can we please get some actual fact on that because i know for a fact K n PCP will raise ur HR and BP due to its psychedelic effects regardless if either cause respiratory slowdownage

Significant respiratory depression only occurs with dissociatives in large overdoses. And, no, this doesn't qualify as being 'robbed of oxygen'.
There's little more to say on this.
