Dissociatives Why can't I snort enough Ketamine??

I'm not overdoing it, not a tolerance issue.

there seems to be a direct proportional relationship between the amount of ket I snort and my noses ability to close up & refuse to take any more.

sadly nosey's ability is much lower than what I need to hole.

how best to address the problem? I'm not using needles....

I started doing the bump method, then moved to taking 4-5 big bumps together, now I'm thinking just jump in and do a great big dirty fat line.

Pretty convinced it's impossible for me to snort my way into a hole on Race generally, I gave 3 big bumps + 2 big bumps of S-ISO a go today and was just on the edge of the hole for a little bit but had to work at trying to stay there. Wanted to take take more to tip me over but nosey wasn't playing ball.

But... Ket has a steep dose response curve, how steep is it? do I need to be weighing shit out now? if I overdue it by 20% is it just a bigger hole? how much until CNS issues?
 
Have you tried a nasal spray?

I live in a super arid region, I've seen people do pushups, nose cleans, and other random things to keep the nose open, but I don't know them personally. I don't do K very frequently, but I will say the last time I did, I did a small bump (30mg?) and i felt it the next day in my nose, pulling out scabby boogers etc.

But yeah still seems like a tolerance issue to me.

nope, is that better? not sure I understand why snorting v nasal spray is a big difference for ket

I flush before and after with saline when snorting shit. Ket's different, which is weird because I can snort mephedrone all day long and that shit feels like Asbestos the next day

why do you think tolerance? nose issues from the 1st day I tried it really so not sure, I may have a mild tolerance build up but think this is a different issue unless this is a symptom of tolerance??
 
I know the feeling, however i only got the issue after some time and tolerance buildup.

A few things that helps:

Crush the K finer, sounds like it wont make much difference but it really does.

Nasal spray is great for lower doses or you could combine it with snorting.
The benefit is that a small amount of K will get you further.
However applying big amounts is harder..


Lastly you could combine the K with THC or nitrous.
That will def help you hole.
 
I have crushed it very fine, had this issue since I 1st used it so don't think it's tolerance.

maybe I'll give nasal spray a try though is a bit of a ball ache.

usually use THC as well already.

I always thought it was crazy. I don't really do ketamine regularily. To see people do physical excersize just to do drugs was a new thing to me.

you're just trying to trick me into doing exercise aren't you?!

I thought it was a joke the first time I read about it too :laughing:

Nasal sprays are good for little bumps but I always found it virtually impossible to get into a hole with one.

Inevitable with frequent use which is why I only take it three or four times a year. Buy a bag, enjoy being a lizard for a week or so then it goes back on the shelf for a few months.

That's harm reduction holmes.

Incidentally it's been over six months and I have a few days off work so I've just ordered a couple of bags for a wonky weekend 😃

You are the exception holmes. Most, are not like that. They tend to abuse; not occasionally use. They bring on their own shame, by themselves, holmes.

Aye not denying it's one of the most abusable drugs out there. It's kind of incredible that a drug which forms no physical dependency can be so habit forming but it really does have claws. It's one of the few substances I can't keep in the house because if it's there I will take it near enough every day.

hmm, not sure I like it enough to take it so often that it's a problem tbh

Dont mind jnowhere.

Yeah the nasal spray is nice as it doesnt fuck your nose (as much) but the downside is you cant do bombers or it all goes down throat (might as well drink your ketamine)

Nasal sprays are also nice as they are discrete and u can do in public a bit easier then keybumps etc

I am of the type that ill have a few grams sitting for months, ill have a homie come over who likes it and ill whip it out. It usually doesnt make it back into the stash.

Ive had 2 roommates tho, that really turned me off of K. Sure it only lasts a few hrs, but if you do it 3 days straight its not really only a few hrs anymore

That's the way to do it. I'm not sure what changed with me tbh. The first year I was using it I could very much take it or leave it but at some point something clicked and I found myself making excuses to myself when I had work in the morning. All wired differently I guess.

Can't wait to get wonky this weekend though I hope it lands in the post tomorrow.
 
Is K really that hard on your nose? It was never an issue for me. It's a little irritating but it mainly just caused a runny nose, not a blockage.

How much are you snorting?

Personally I'll buy 4g, go thru that in about 5 days, then take a few weeks off.
 
I can semi relate to OP, going down K doesn't hurt/feel bad, but within an hour my nasal passages slowly getting smaller and as I said, I recently did a small bump, next morning was pulling out scabs.

The dif between me and op is I have almost zero tolerance and I can definitely get enough up there to hole before that ROA becomes pointless. OP said 5 little bumps. That would have me walking funny or not at all.
 
One time oddly I think K had messed up my electrolytes or something, but it was making me feel sick. I went home and snorted more and had a weird acute allergic reaction. I started sneezing uncontrollably, like 20 times within a minute. I could feel the histamine release, eyes and nose watering. It was weird and never happened again, even with the same bag.

I've put a lot of shit up my nose but never had anything like that happen prior or since.
