  Educate yourself. Ketamine is a party drug and has nothing in common with psilocybin.

    Ketamine first and foremost is a dissociative anesthetic. Ketamine is also having psychedelic effects. It has been used for “spiritual” purposes long before it became common as a “party drug”. Also every drug is a “party drug”. Finally Ketamine is in research for treating depression, anxiety, addiction and other issues, with some results looking quite promising.

      All fair. But it’s very unlike psilocybin in many ways. For instance it has potential for addiction. I’ve never tried it myself so I’m not any kind of expert on K.

    Isn’t Ketamine currently in use for some mental health treatments though?

      That is correct but it is very dissimilar to psilocybin. It has addictive potential for one. I’ve never tried it so I’m no expert. I hope it succeeds as a therapeutic. I think all drugs should be legal and regulated though

    the book ’ reality switch technologies’ goes into some detail about how different drugs influence our precepetion of reality and what it might be bound in. I think you would like it
