I think I like S-ketamine
more now
With the racemic I find that small doses can give a nice pleasant feeling, but when trying to duplicate that with s-ket it just doesn't work. On the other hand, 40-50mg of s-ket can give a very psychedelic experience, that feels very very smooth physically. I also find that s-ketamine doesn't make me walk like Robby the Robotussin Robot and when it wears off I don't feel drowsy like I'm coming out of surgery or something.
S-ketamine feels like a very deep meditation for me. Detached awareness, 'the witness' consciousness etc. It also feels very 'clean' and benign compared to the racemic.
There's so much talk about meditation +/vs. 'classic' (5-HT) psychedelics and many 'monks' and 'gurus' etc. that have commented on things like LSD etc. but does anyone know of any monks/gurus etc. who have tried 'k-holying' and shared their thoughts publically? How does the k-void compare to the Buddhist's void?
I'm probably a bit biased at the moment, but I really feel that ketamine has the
potential to really help a lot of people especially as an antidote to the unnatural stresses of modern life.
I find it a really interesting topic. I just came across this statistic.
*"
75 to 90% of all doctor's office visits are for stress-related ailments and complaints."
Research suggests that glutamate as the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain plays a key role in mediating stress response so couldn't ketamine as a potent glutamate 'blocker' be an effective treatment for chronic stress?
Imagine identical triplets, each with equally stressful lives, triplet #1 does nothing to alleviate stress and suppresses it, triplet #2 likes to have a few drinks after work every day to 'take the edge off', and tryplet #3 uses 20-50mg of s-ketamine as needed to alleviate stress...
With all other factors equal, which triplet is likely to have the highest quality of life, the best health and the longest life expectancy
