"I tried ketamine to treat my depression. Within a day, I felt relief."

After some research, I concluded that ketamine was not only more affordable but just as effective as sending electrical pulses through my brain. (About 70 to 85 percent of patients with severe depression who try ketamine treatment say it’s effective, compared with 58 to 70 percent of ECT patients.


Ketamine’s antidepressant effects were revealed in a Yale study in 2000. Over the next decade, researchers continued to explore its potential as a treatment for major depressive disorder. Asim Shah, a professor and executive vice chair at Baylor College of Medicine who co-led several of these studies, told me that doctors have long been curious about the euphoric effects of ketamine. A lot of people given ketamine as an anesthetic “would start smiling or laughing,” he says. “That’s the reason that many people before have said, ‘Oh, maybe it can be used for depression.’”



:francis: This seems great on paper but unlike with marijuana/CBD, people can actually die from ketamine use. I get this feeling that his is about to lead to rampant abuse

I'm not a drug user, but I was given ketamine as a sedative for a surgical procedure and the high/post high was amazing. It seriously had me considering becoming a ketamine fiend.

Isn't Ketamine used to put Horses and other large animals to sleep . Seems alot of these drugs meant to deal with Mental disorders are used to keep the patient sedated rather than treat them :patrice::patrice:
It’s a dissociative

So in high doses yeah it’s an anaesthetic but in lower doses it’s a dissociative and can be recreational as well. Just like DXM and Nitrous Oxide.

Dissociatives get weird btw :dame:

All black people have to do is not touch this

Read the ingredients on medicine

You right. I can see them using this as revenge on black people for the karma their white youth have been getting with the opioids
