    Man I really wish I had some ketamine. I've always wanted to try it.

    From how people describe it I imagine it's kinda like if laughing gas/n2o/whippets lasted for hours. That'd be perfect.

      i was on it once for surgery and it made me very uncomfortably happy. Like, heard the best joke ever but the room is completely silent and everyone was looking at me concerned

        Yep, that's why they call it laughing gas. The very first time I used it was me huffing it out of a whipped cream canister and I literally started laughing uncontrollably. But after the first few times you become more accustomed to what's about to happen and the laughing stops.

        Edit: I'm not sure if you were referring to the ketamine or laughing gas now that I think about it

      I only took it a few times, once just a small amount and listened to aphex twin flim and got a bit giggly and floaty but it didn't last long, and another time at a party but it was mixed with booze and coke so I was just generally fucked up and threw up on the sofa. Would like to experiment more but its hard when mid 30s with a baby and a wife who doesn't really like drugs. Planning on a chemical renaissance in my 50s but well see how that goes.

      Used to occasionally get a RC called MXE that was a derivative of Ketamine, probably the best chemical I've ever encountered but it hasn't been manufactured in like a decade since it was banned in China.

        I remember that going around years ago back when I was much more heavily into drugs. People were so saddened when it stopped being manufactured and those who had some left from previous batches treated it like it was worth more than gold (probably because it was at that point).

        I feel like I really missed out since I never got the opportunity to try it. All of these cool RC drugs that keep appearing and disappearing almost make me wanna pursue a degree in organic chemistry so I can do "chemical research" as a personal hobby.

          It was the "This drug is so good it will ruin your fucking life." chemical for me, I considered it a mixed blessing when it became nearly impossible to get.

        RIP to a real one. I know I just wrote a long screed against the dangers of dissociative addiction, but just seeing the letters MXE makes me want to take it all back. That was a real wonder drug for me - it could reliably induce a kind of hypomanic state that would last long after the dissociative effects wore off. I accomplished so much for myself and my family was constantly telling me how much more pleasant I was to be around...

        Easy come, easy go. It's a bummer, though, because I feel like MXE could have been even more effective than ketamine for treatment resistant depression and mood disorders.
