They went with a refurbished Putin balloon. Can’t blame them in this economy.

Honestly only ever done ketamine once. A buddy of mine really loved it and offered.

To me it felt pretty much like being high on pot. Except no bad smells (I don't like pot smell), no munchies. No red eyes. No dry mouth. No tiredness. I don't think there was any change in energy but I was more relaxed. I mean. It gets you high.

I never got paranoid on the marijuana so I can't say if that effect is different or not on ketamine. And I don't care for the marijuana much so it's been a number of years since I got high, but I smoked plenty as a teenager. So I'm comparing it to that.

I do recall having strong closed-eye visuals on ketamine. Like the fractals and stuff and having a hard time going to sleep (because of the fractals). But not really like how acid keeps you up. I was able to go to sleep after about an hour after I got home.

Started maybe around 7 ish. I think I went home around midnight. Still high.

We chilled. Talked. Listened to music which was really pleasant. More than normal. But that's true with marijuana high too.

I can't say I liked it. But it wasn't unpleasant except for the insomnia.

I'm picky about recreational drug use. Feeling intoxicated (drunk or high) isn't really my thing. Because to me it just makes me feel kind of stupid and like my mental abilities are severely impaired. I can't watch a movie and understand much unless it's simple comedy. Can't read a book. Can't work on a hobby project. Can't remember much the next day. And if it's alcohol, it takes a full day (or 2) to recover.

So to me, being high is a waste of my time and is just frustrating.

I also have gotten drunk a few times and accidentally broken things or lost things. Spent too much $$. And it just doesn't seem worth it. I'd rather have bought something more lasting.

I've Broke a lamp by knocking it over. Lost a pair of shoes, jewelry, etc.

Now some people really like getting high. So they might like ketamine more than I did.

To me it was just very similar to smoking some weed. Just less sleepy.

Also ketamine tolerance, apparently, builds very fast. Making it high risk for addiction.

So my buddy told me he bought this big bag of white powder from China. (This was like 7 years ago btw).

I tell him I don't do lines. So I had to basically hold it in my mouth. Between gums and teeth. It taste like crushed Tylenol, btw. Taste lingered until the next day.

Now I only took equivalent to one line/dose. The whole night. (I think, but maybe 2? I was high and can't recall).

My buddy had started before I got there. Then did a line when I started. Then did another like a half hour later. And another and another. Im pretty sure he did like 5 or 6 lines while I was there for those few hours to the point I was getting very fucking concerned. Because I was high as fuck on one and I didn't even snort it. Like he was.

I voiced this concern after his second one with me. Like 30 min in. Because I knew it was at least his 3rd. Maybe 4th.

He assured me he had done way more in previous nights and that the drug was making him more responsible with his drug use. (Whatever the fuck that meant).

When I went home I decided I was going to talk to him about his very serious drug problem the next day.

Now I'm open minded and I think recreational drug use is fine in moderation. People have autonomy. I respect their choices in such things.

But when it's your friend scaring you like that. You have to say something.

So I go over and try to talk to him. I say "bro. You did like 8 lines last night. Do you realize how much that is ?. And you told me it's not the first time you binged . And the bag you showed me, You said it's not the first bag you bought. " I tell him I'm not judging. I'm just worried. Maybe he doesn't realize how much he's doing .

The convo went nowhere. He assured me he had it all under control.

I ended up moving soon after for a job. I still talk to him occasionally. I think he got his shit together but he didn't mention this process with me. Probably because I moved. Maybe he was embarrassed. But he's not dead so I'm assuming he's good.

Anyway. That was my only experience with ketamine.

And the only drug I ever saw a responsible recreational drug user friend get addicted to, super fast. Scary fast.
