      Basically just spaces you out and roots you in place. It can be fun at home, not with murderous cops.

      Idk, tbh, probably something to do with magnets.

      Edit: I thought this was a further down comment chain asking for pharmacokinetics details, which I haven’t bothered learning for Ketamine as it’s not relevant to me yet. Ketamine is a sedative drug, so it’s used to basically zonk people out.

        Ahh thanks. I’d heard of it before Elon, but never really knew what it was used for.

          It used to be known as “the horse tranquilizer”.

          Basically the fastest acting knock-out thing we have. If you’ve ever been in a procedure that they put you like slightly under for, just an hour or two, complete knockout, for like a orthopedic surgery or something.

          The recreational way is to do less of it than that, so you actually recall something. It’s a dissociative. What some pscyhonauts chase is “the K-hole” meaning a state where your light of consciousness is still on, you’re sort of awake, but your brain doesn’t even know what existing means or what a person is.

          That kind of use isn’t what people generally do at parties, they just half zonk out and look like they don’t know what the fuck is going on.

          Like Musk, very clearly. He’s teetering on the edge of still being on this plane in some of those images from the inauguration.

          I can’t find the gif I mean but holy fuck he was blazed at the inauguration.
