Anyone suggest it, why or why not?
That's an opinion, which is fine, but it's not a general "should". I.e. the combination with harmalas is pretty uncontroversial to most people.the spirit molecule, and should never be mixed with anything especially that , keep it pure
I agree.The only alleviation to fear is practice and training
Yes I apologize it's just my opinion from experience , and I don't mean to say what you should or should not do ,That's an opinion, which is fine, but it's not a general "should". I.e. the combination with harmalas is pretty uncontroversial to most people.
I agree mixing it with ketamine results in a different experience, and IMO it's a lesser experience. Other people prefer it.
I agree.
Bear in mind the Attitude guidelines: present a statement as your opinion or else provide evidence for it.
No need to apologize, it was just a heads up. As making blanket statements can easily result in a conversation between two "X is good" and "X is bad" sides, both partly right and wrong, and both lacking nuance.Yes I apologize it's just my opinion from experience , and I don't mean to say what you should or should not do ,
Ketamine definitely has a very different risk profile than psychedelics. It's considerably more physically dangerous with chronic use, as you say. It also has more addictive potential. No doubt about that.but the evidence is crystal clear ,
It had a extremely bad effect on many young people. ie bladder problems for rest of there lives .
Yes I agree with all that , totally get what you saying about statements.No need to apologize, it was just a heads up. As making blanket statements can easily result in a conversation between two "X is good" and "X is bad" sides, both partly right and wrong, and both lacking nuance.

Personally, I'm in agreement with Shulgin's "just say know" in place of "just say no". When dealing with any substance, one needs to be well informed about its risk profile, the tradeoffs one is making, and be honest about one's own tendencies and particular risks. Then, one should also be honest about their use and its tradeoffs and consequences. I don't think there are inherently bad substances, but there are bad relationships with substances. And some substances are much trickier to handle in a responsible way.
So I agree that one needs to be cautious when approaching ketamine. I've found that, to me, spacing ketamine experiences out several weeks and keeping them intentional and large dose is a good balance. If I started using it casually, I think I'd end up overusing it. Anyways, I've been finding it less and less useful as time goes by.


This describes misuse. It's awesome if you know how to use it. Nothing is all good nothing is all bad. And set and setting make a hell of a difference not just in the experience, but also in the habits formed. When used with awareness and insight, it's powerfully therapeutic and safe.Yes I apologize it's just my opinion from experience , and I don't mean to say what you should or should not do ,

And for me it's the best substance I love being able to disconnect emotionally. It allows me to breakthrough and not be scared of death, whereas on actual psychedelics it's terrifying for me. K holes for me or like waking dreams, mixed with a concert and a light show all at onceI have to say that I am utterly fascinated how popular ketamine is in psychedelics circles. I had it once and it felt like direct opposite of what I like in psychedelics. Disconnection instead of connection, emotionally flat instead of emotional richness etc.
I did not like it at all, second worst substance experience in my life.
At k-hole doses, there is an experience that shares many aspects (but not all) with a psychedelic experience. There's a huge difference between the effects at the lower and the higher dosage range.I fully understand the need for disconnection in some people. What is surprising to me is that it's so popular in psychedelic circles.
I would expect it to be much more popular within heroin (or similar substances) users group.
Fear is an energy, so is nausea. Feeling them fully gives you an extra boost and opens new parts of yourself. I'm in full agreement with @doubledog here - psychedelics are about connection for me. Our human tendency to control everything and make it comfortable led us to where we are right now. Why not embrace life with all the chaos and unpredictability? Your courage will be rewardedAnd for me it's the best substance I love being able to disconnect emotionally.

Thanks I'm gonna trust you guys, seems like sound advice!Fear is an energy, so is nausea. Feeling them fully gives you an extra boost and opens new parts of yourself.

I always go for k holes dosesAt k-hole doses, there is an experience that shares many aspects (but not all) with a psychedelic experience. There's a huge difference between the effects at the lower and the higher dosage range.
It's closer to psychedelics than heroin imo, but yes it is very hedonistic for sureI fully understand the need for disconnection in some people. What is surprising to me is that it's so popular in psychedelic circles.

It's just not a classical psychedelic, but depending on what definition of psychedelic you use, based on effects and experience, it's psychedelic to many people.Ik it's not a psychedelic bad choice of words lol and ive never heard of oneirogan or existigen either!
But yes ur comment is pretty much what I was trying to say! I've had kholes but never what you're describing sounds incredible!
