I qualified for financial help with one of those places that advertise on social media (Joyous, if you know it), and I've got enough to buy myself the first month of pills.

Curious as to if anyone has had experience with it. On paper it sounds like it would be great for me, but my ma is scared of it cause apparently there are horror stories going around in the news. Way I figure it, if it doesn't help, at least I get drugs.

    This is interesting, I actively seek the k hole, when I had access to affordable ketamine (it was crazy cheap before it caught on, $20/g was normal) I'd buy a gram and rail the whole thing in one go. It's been a long time and I've done a lot of drugs but damn, I love being in a k hole. I'm also not sure what the hell the nightmare pcp stories came from, literally every punk in Montreal in the 90s was doing it all the time and the results were never even close to the news reports, I'm guessing meth was in play in addition in most cases there. I do recall when I was blasting ketamine a lot that I did generally feel pretty nice afterwards. Usually I'd just k hole solo for 2 hours while really enjoying a 70s Sci fi and not understanding it at all, then I snapped out and felt better than prior. That doesn't mean it's a good therapeutic drug tho. Acid makes me really really confident and confidence is good, doesn't mean I should do more acid

      I really think it comes from PCP laced blunts. Weed can definitely put people in a psychotic state and if you mix that with a poorly measured (or completely unexpected) dose of PCP- I could see someone bugging out real bad.

      But then again it's the media, right? A-PVP was probably what those flesh eating cannibal crackheads in Florida were doing a few years back. I've done that shit, I'll admit it was a very strangely demonic and sex-tastic experience rolled into one (shouts out McAffee RIP) so I could see The Fear taking hold, but not to that extent.

      I bet the biggest common denominator in these drug-scare horror stories is untreated mental illness.

      Out of curiousity, when you had access to good ket before the market went stupid- how often would you do a nice big megadose like that? Do you remember particularly what drove the impulse, or was it just "getting fucked up" like how I was playing with the 3-HO before I stumbled into an accidental positive upside?

        You're probably on the money with the whole pcp thing. I've done pcp a few times and it's not that harsh of a drug. As for k, 2-3 times a week. I'd usually do it on my days I'd substitute booze for benzos. It was fun times but the days I did ketamine and benzos was usually days I wasn't drinking and doing speed. I also had a fairly steady morphine habit on top and was doing acid at least once a week.

          yeah I can't comment on whether "real" PCP is especially different to 3-HO-PCP, but I found 3-HO to be downright gentle, rather than harsh. I mean reassembling after the ego death was definitely something not everyone would enjoy but yeah. It's a really misunderstood drug.

          I hope you're doing well these days. Anyone else suddenly fiending for K? Shit.

            Very very gradually getting more normal. Still smoke obscene amounts of pot.xause it's basically free, really gotta drink less. Otherwise I barely ever do drugs I never had a habit of doing. I cut out the pattern of extra drugs.
