note: I found a few threads on drugs, mentioning Ketamine, but I think this particular substance needs a thread of it's own. It's also in Paranoia since a lot of experiences cannot be proven nor disproven.
Has anyone ever tried Ketamine in a non-party situation, going for the "k-hole" rather than avoiding it?
I've had many interesting and profound experiences with Ketamine. Both joined visuals with other people, and amazing out of body experiences.
I say a non-party situation because a lot fo peoples experiences with various drugs are at partys and social situations, and unfortunately, the same applies to Ketamine. K is _not_ a party drug, and the experiences one can have while on K cannot be had at a party. Personally, I think that doing anything other than Alcohol or possibly MDMA (I hate E at parties, but I see the positives for others) at parties is irresponsible and deprives the user of the true experience.
I love dreaming, therefor my interest with Ketamine is deep rooted. It's an easy way to get into a Lucid dream within a few minutes, and the experiences one can have within your own mind and outside of your body can be great learning experiences.
For a good primer on K, check this out:

I find the best situation for K is in my bedroom, with the temperature at the most neutral setting possible. Not hot or cold. It's best if you can get the room as dark as possible, preferably pitch black. Of course, you'll need some light to dose, but turn the light out quickly after and lay on your back. It also helps to do some relaxation exercises before hand, to clear the mind.
On dosing. The safest, most consistant and reliable way to do this is Intramuscular Injection. Basically, injecting into your arm or thigh. Never inject into a vien, you'll be out before safely disposing of the needle. Now, I've never done this, due to the social stigma and the people around me not being able to get over it. I will one day though.
The other way is snorting, which tastes horrible, hurts, but gets the jobs done. You can't properly measure your dose so start low and work up to something suitable for your needs.
As always, RESEARCH. I read many articles and books before trying it my first time, and I suggest you do the same with any drug.
This is getting long so I'll stop. If there's anyone with this kind of interest in Ketamine, hopefully this thread will grow.
