Firstly I must say what a brilliant thread this is.. fuckin LOL@TheMatt, tell it how it is mate.
I'm from the UK (southwest england).. I thought i'd follow suite.. a mini essay based on my extensive history of chemical experimentation.. focusing on ketamine.. one of the most mind-expanding and one of my personal favourites besides mandy (oh how we miss mandy). i wanted to provide a guide on what to expect, illustrating how the experience varies massively depending on the dosage, and as it's so commonplace these days i want to outline the dangers (it's going to be acquired anyway, why doesnt the government admit it's a situation they can't control. instead of advertising scaremonger adverts about drugs destroying lives and being illegal, they could be educating those who've made the choice to take certain drugs to keep them safe and reduce risk.. water with amphets, dont swallow k, etc. anyway rant over..
Any first timers i recommend boshing a nice fat helping of k as full-exposure to K for a first timer is a memorable, eye-opening and very enjoyable experience. Try to avoid alcohol with k.. 1 or 2beers is fine but if you're really drunk, avoid the k. The effects of both are so similar that they combine, double up, resonate and there's a chance of turning paraletic lol.
Ket - 'Horse Tranquiliser!?'.. Used in the first and second world wars by field meds as a quick-acting effective anaesthetic.. also is still used roadside by ambulance services for the same reason (an injected dose of that magnitude would guarantee an insane . It was branded 'horse tranquiliser' as injecting a shit-load of the stuff will tranquilise a horse, or for that matter any other horse-sized beasty. 1g of k is the tiniest fraction of a fraction of what you would tranq a person with, plus it's from pure crystals, uncut and powder form not liquid.
Ket truly is a mind expanding drug.. I'm waiting for the day when everybody in the world is on a simultaneously wonk trip lol, the world would be harmonious. There are many levels to k, distancing from reality increasing with the dosage, i mean that in a positive way. It really is a shift in conciousness, and at higher doses makes your body and mind feel floaty with a heightened awareness of how your body and limbs are functioning almost autonomously. The world unravels and i (personally) find myself logically stripping down, simplifying and decrypting life and patterns, musical principles, the disrepairable state of our (British) government and sometimes just random dead-ended semi-sensical bullshit. Going for a wander (a wobble) is typically a GOOD IDEA.. and dubstep is perfectly suited for a little wobble rave. when going for a wander late night tends to be a safe bet as joe pubic assumes you'r a bunch of drunks. Bear in mind on heavy doses k can make you look more spannered that most other drugs i'v encountered, that is to say gaunt, white, sliding along walls, etc. Typically if you're indoors you don't percieve that anything exists outside of the room.. it's like for a while the room you're in is the universe, until there's a knock on the door from some straight-edge sober mates (sometimes best to hide on these occasions, for their sake more than yours lol). generally speaking it's ideal for everyone to be synchronised with their administration to provide the best social experience possible (adjusting for individual tolerances of course) - but this applies to any drugs really.. and if not the same drug something with similar effects.
I prefer to snort lil lines getting larger over time.. tho the main peak lasts about an hour so ull want to have the next line racked up about half an hour after as the effects then accumulate = levelup = win. I think i deduced there'r about 7 levels of k to rise through before a laarge bump will send you to a pleasant k-hole city. I feel the term k-hole is overused of late.. a real k-hole is when you appear vacant from the outside, eyes wide and usually fixed straight ahead. occasionally spouting some sort of bs (it does, of course make complete sense to the aforementioned k-hole'ee). i recall panicking slightly initially, attempting to peal away layers of warped unreality, trying in vain to get a peek at reality, before embracing the mashedness, exploring concepts of the universe and generally thinking in a more logical methodic manner, analysing the world from a unique perspective.
As a disassociative k removes most of the typical associations with prefabricated objects, thoughts, and people, so you tend to see the world as 'raw data' (on a high dosage this effect is emphasised, the world becomes 2D.. quite a sight. although gravity does have a sneaky tendancy to change orientation when you least expect it, definitely worth noting. the k-hole doesn't last too long.. probably 20-30mins before you rejoin the party and show vaguely coherent signs. Note u do have to bosh a lot to K-hole, (i'm not one for measuring with digis so i do it by eye

but i guess 3-400mg'ish for a newb and that's a complete guess. luckily you can be pretty liberal with it when racking up. try walking backwards down a hill on like the 5th k-level and (typically a grassy festival hill or the suchlike) is randomly very entertaining.. you'd have to try it.
K and valium are a fantastic mix.. best administered just before a crunchy comedown sets in after a heavy night raving on uppers. it is a fluffy dream-like experience, gaining appreciation for general things eg friends, formations and patterns in nature.. are always there but taken for granted. At that point it's worth watching the sunrise, an unbeatable feeling of bliss. I'd go so far as to say the good times on 'downers' at the end of a night (k, diazipam etc) are as glorious and sociable as the uppers.
and i didn't mention the best part.. the above will skip a comedown entirely.. a beer when u finally wake up will straighten your head out and off u go
one major piece of advice definitely worth mentioning.. after insufflation do not swallow the drip, or minimise the amount swallowed as much as possible. K is absorbed in the nasal cavities successfully and efficiently, however the digestive organs dont process the chemical, and excessive swallowing (swallowing a LOT over time) could result in accumulation in organs (kidney or gall stones), possibly crystalisation around the bladder causing false-alarm pee's, etc.. one girl needed her bladder removed.. i dunno if she was just like nomnom'ing the ket or what but it was a pretty foolish state to get into considering a plethora of warning symptoms. but i digress.. these are the extreme side effects, caused by regular habitual usage involving extremely high doses though.. a few mates have been known to bosh grams in one line.. that's when u need to slow it down. the body's immunity/tolerance is rapid, recovering within a few weeks so you wont need to be using excessive amounts.
so that's it for now.. should be back to post another soon, probs on mandy and the new alternatives
{longest, post, evarrrrr)
