My little brother was going to school and he asked me to send him some information about my experiences on ketamine. I wrote this in October, 2008.
I have been using ketamine recreationally for about 2 years now. The strongest affects of Ketamine are similar to the affects of alcohol: trouble walking or standing up, a sensation of spinning, feeling of general well-being (by that, I mean one feels like "life is less of a problem"). I often times compare the affects of Ketamine to those of alcohol. It's like being drunk, about 5-6 drinks for me, but none of the side affects like headache, stomach ache or nausea. One is much more conscious and experiences less "loosing your inhibitions," though one tends to be spacey and let their thoughts wander.
This is all at a small dose of ketamine; usually a bump or two consecutively will make you feel like this.
Higher doses of ketamine will put users into a "K-Hole." At higher doses, Ketamine acts as a dissociative. I have only been in a K-Hole once. I was sitting in the living room in a circle of friends, sitting on couches and chairs, and we were passing around a CD case with lines of K on it. My friend cut me a line and handed me the CD case. This was not my first time using, by far, and there had been weekends where I had done line after line without going into a hole. But I snorted this huge line all at once, and almost instantly I knew this was going to be a bit more intense than normal. I set down the CD case and sat there in my chair, sniffling my nose to get the K down. I could feel the familiar "play-doh" taste of the K-Drip and I started to hear static, like there was a radio in the room playing just static. I turned to the person sitting next to me and asked him if he heard static. My voice sounded far away to me, and my head started to feel like I was underwater. He did not hear the static. I stood up, very wobbly, and walked across the room to the couch, where I curled up. People asked me questions, but all I could do was giggle (of course, they all thought that was hilarious). I looked up into the corner of the ceiling and felt myself leaving my body. I ascended to the corner I had been staring at and proceeded to look down at everybody. I literally felt like I had left my body. I could see myself curled up and giggling. It was not a long trip, and it was very relaxing since I was at home and with friends. It lasted for about half an hour, with the effects slowly fading after another 15 minutes.
It was something I am really glad to have experienced, however, it is not what I expect from normal k use. Like I said, I have been using it for about 2 years, and have only k holed once. I really enjoy that slightly drunk, wobbly feeling, and being introspective (yet without the over thinking or paranoia that I get when I’m high on pot).
