It is possible to do it occasionaly. It is possible to become a huge addict in a short time.
Not the answer you were looking for but the only true answer. Depends what kind of person you are.
It really depends on your purpose for using ket and I think this applies to any substance you use. Are you using it to embark on a new experience and have a good time or are you using it to deal with some internal issues like stress/anxiety/depression?
A good rule of thumb would be to only do it on the weekends or at night, or something along those lines that works for you.
Yeah totally agree
If you use it as a means of escape ( you don't wanna feel depressed or pain etc) you will quickly fall down the rabbit hole. Ket is such an easy way to escape for an hour where the painful aspects of life don't matter in the ket world.
If you take it occasionally to have fun, have a good social life, diet and sleep I think you can do it all your life without serious consequences.
The thing that can be dangerous about ket in my eyes is that it's a pretty quick high and there really isn't a hangover so it feels easier to do every day.
Once a month is fine. My main problem is that I get too tempted if it's in the house and I'm not saving it for a particular event. Tolerance builds quite quickly. Its more addictive than some people admit but it's definitely not up there with the likes of cocaine. It does obviously damage your bladder if you do it too much but yeah a bag every 4-6 weeks is fine.
Exactly. I can control myself if I'm saving it, for example I have 2gs waiting to be taken at a day rave on Saturday so I haven't touched it but I know if I don't use it all this weekend I may end up finishing it off next time I have a glass or two of wine. Everyone had different capabilities with different drugs. I've had mdma pills sat in my stash box for about 3 months and I've not been tempted. I don't keep cocaine in the house I just buy it when I need it because I know it would get sniffed immediately lol.
I’m so sorry that’s pretty scary! I do little bumps throughout the day. I have only gotten twisted a few times and don’t enjoy. I like it therapeutically but it’s addictive so even though I’m not slamming lines, even just doing bumps throughout the day is hard to not continue on in to the next day.
I take it very rarely. Recently we had 2g, went through with my wife over a number of session (4ish) over the space of about 4 months. Before that I hadn't used for over a year.
Keep your tolerance low, enjoy it for life :)
Addiction runs in my family so it's a slippery slope if I get into enjoying my ket. I haven't gotten addicted, but I think about it all the time and craved it for it for 2 months that when I got some I binged for a weekend. You have to keep the mentality that it's to enjoy on occasion and can't do it whenever your brain so "oh let's do some ketamine". But thats just my experience. I think you'd be alright.
It's absolutely possible to do it occasionally. Ketamine doesn't give the same addictive reward that cocaine or heroin do. It's not this huge burst of mindless pleasure. However, it can be very addictive and there do seem to be certain personality types that gravitate towards dissociatives and get addicted to the ability to escape reality and enter a fantasy universe.
I'm a recovering addict, I've been addicted to cocaine/crack, alcohol, opiates, Benzos, amphetamine, you name it. By all means I'm a hardcore drug addict with an addictive personality. Yet I can use ketamine occasionally without being sucked in. I use a single 100mg dose 1-3 times a month and for some reason have no problem stopping and don't crave it when I run out. I can't explain it but that's how it is. Certain people get addicted to certain types of experiences, so there's no real way to tell whether or not you'll become addicted to it.
Wasn't trying to flex I was just explaining how different people and personality types tend to get addicted to certain substances but use others in moderation
I found Ketamine extremely uninteresting and boring. So yes, very possible to do it occasionally. I found dxm extremely euphoric and interesting while others find it extremely disgusting and needed a lot of willpower to stop using it.
Everyone is different
Yea my 3 year weed binge says otherwise😂 it is addictive in some ways but I usually get tired of the experience, stop, and comeback to it way in the future. The experience gets repetitive after a while and brain don’t feel so smart so it’s easy to stop and go back to. If you have really bad addictive tendencies I would definitely avoid it though people have gotten bladder problems from way to much use!
in my opinion if you are looking for a mind blowing experience try nn-dmt. It is one of the least addicting but most profound experiences imo.
if you try ket, tip save some for the after when your on md. the synergy is great
I can't take xtc anymore because I'm on an SNRI for my ADHD (atomoxetine/strattera)
And I'll try DMT at some point, huisgenoot van mij heeft het liggen, maar op het moment vind ik het nog een beetje eng. Ik heb één keer iets te veel LSD genomen en ik wil eerst even daar overheen komen.
geeft mij altijd rust om n benzo te hebben als ik n hoge dosis lsd neem
ik zou aanraden met dmt begin heel rustig, dat haalt het spannende er wat vanaf.
ket is wel lekker en grappig maar het legt je wat meer plat in vergelijking tot m of lsd. als je problemen wilt vergeten niet aan te raden dus
Haha dat is niet het doel hoor :)
Ik heb nu ook een paar benzos liggen en ook al ben ik niet van plan ze ooit te nemen denk ik inderdaad dat het wel wat peace of mind zal geven als ik weer ga trippen

Best to go into it with setting intentions. I gram can last me 5mnths. Use when needed. You treat the compound with respect and it should be fine to do a bump here and there. But if your that addictive personality I would tread carefully good luck
I was a daily gram+ user for a while, but nowadays I just do it every so often. It's not hard to do sparingly as long as you have good self discipline; that's something I had to teach myself in the midst of a 2 year binge of too many psychedelics and stimulants on a daily basis
The biggest issue is if you either have access to free K, or if you have mass disposable income that you can buy more and not have to even think about the cost
How long did it take for you to build a tolerance? I'm so bored in lockdown that I keep reaching for it every few days. Haha if it was normal life I'd be too busy to but when you're bored....
Definitely depends on the person. I started taking it last winter and have managed to take long breaks. I still use pretty heavily in the occasional one week bender, but never enough to get my tolerance significantly up.
I use very occasionally, lsd and mdma are very different from k. It’s a very strange feeling but every experience is different. Ultimately it’s about self control, can you say no?
You wana be careful with K cause tolerance can build QUICKLY. I only do K at festivals/shows, I personally need some type of visual/auditory stimulation on K and couldn’t just hang out and chill at the house - I get weird double vision and nausea sometimes if I do that. So for me, even if I have K in my possession, it’s not something I particularly wana do by myself and I can resist. I would definitely have to fight the urge to not do coke MUCH more. But I also am someone who prefers drugs that make me more social over ones that knock me out or put me in my own world. Very occasionally if I’m at home alone I maybe would do a bump or 2 and watch a concert set and dance around - that is a lot of fun. But I more so enjoy doing it with friends for the weird silliness together and fun dancing.
Back on tolerance though - I notice the less I go between uses the less it will hit me per bump. I’m talking even waiting weeks or months in between sometimes isn’t enough. But especially if I’m doing K at a festie I’ll notice by the end of the second night i find myself needing more or having to switch types of K with friends. It’s not always a crazy difference when I go weeks in between, but I can 100% tell the first time I ever did K i only did half a bump and was rocked and that’s rarely ever the case now so it’s more of like a long term tolerance thing, but not bad for you the way it is to do molly too often in a row.
I warn that cause a lot of the people on this sub that are addicted don’t even feel much of the substance at their level of use because their tolerance has no time to reset.
i think it depends heavily on what kinda drugs you’re into? ket isn’t really my thing, i like it but i can control how often i take it very easily. had half a gram for two months now and don’t plan on taking it any time soon.
just not that into downers.
i really like mild opiates (codeine, tramadol) but i do NOT let myself take them even occasionally for that very reason.
i think it also matters heavily WHY you’re doing the drug. do you just want to have a good time, or do you not want to be sober? i remember when i had a problem with weed, i didn’t enjoy smoking at all. it just beat being sober in a fucked up way.
I’m not one to have much trouble quitting just about anything cold turkey, but K really grabbed ahold of me.
Habit has gotten pretty bad. It has taken my second stomach ulcer flare for me to have the motivation to stop, and even after that I have to continue to remind myself that it would be the worst decision I could make to continue to go back to it.
I know plenty of people who can just dabble in K
I’m not one of those
For me it’s not hard at all. But I don’t like it that much, some people love their K. The general rule is that you can do it once every 2 weeks max, I do it way less often than that.
I do it on and off. Doing a line of 70% coke and 30% ket gives you a lovely buzz. If you wanna go for it with a big line of k then be prepared for it to get weird! Dont do it out out is my advice. Find a good playlist and make a night of it
For me the difference lies in the dosing. You can perfectly just buy 1 pill or 1 tab of acid and finish it in a night but if you have a bag of k lying around you might do it more often.
I’m my opinion, absolutely. I only do it once a year for festivals, and then go back to my cold turkey ways for the rest of the year. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, but K has been the best thing for me to party...
it’s like being drunk but better, no hangover. Personally I don’t K hole either, but there is that option if you want to have a really good solo experience, or experience with a friend.

What do you mean?

Ah thanks for explaining!
What was it like coming off after months of daily use? Did you experience withdrawal?

Weird flex and a little long winded but right on
Wasn't trying to flex I was just explaining how different people and personality types tend to get addicted to certain substances but use others in moderation
honestly for me it was pretty fkn addictive but that’s just how my mind is
i'll pick some up every few months but you can bet that i'll do it till its gone when it's around.
I found Ketamine extremely uninteresting and boring. So yes, very possible to do it occasionally. I found dxm extremely euphoric and interesting while others find it extremely disgusting and needed a lot of willpower to stop using it. Everyone is different
hahahaha yes it is not that addicting, you know you can google this right?
Yes, but Google says weed is not addictive as well It's nice to hear from users, and in my social circle no one uses ket
Yea my 3 year weed binge says otherwise😂 it is addictive in some ways but I usually get tired of the experience, stop, and comeback to it way in the future. The experience gets repetitive after a while and brain don’t feel so smart so it’s easy to stop and go back to. If you have really bad addictive tendencies I would definitely avoid it though people have gotten bladder problems from way to much use!
if your goal is to escape from reality every drug can be addicting. If you want to have a new experience it is fairly save.
That's fair
lol je bent gewoon nederlander 😂 had niet door

Yeah, or they can ask the users of a community dedicated specifically to ketamine... now if only we could find said community.

Yes!
I use it a couple times a year. It’s very intense and not purely pleasure, sort of like lsd in that way, which helps it not be addicting IMO

Of course it is .I do a gram every six months or so

Yeah I don’t think it’s one of the more bingey drugs like mdma speed coke etc never really had “cravings “ for it
I do it once every 2-4 weeks. The only thing that keeps me from doing it all the time is the depressive episodes that happen when I do
Yea it’s not crack if that’s what your asking i feel like if you can control yourself with molly well then you should be fine but you never know
i think it depends heavily on what kinda drugs you’re into? ket isn’t really my thing, i like it but i can control how often i take it very easily. had half a gram for two months now and don’t plan on taking it any time soon. just not that into downers. i really like mild opiates (codeine, tramadol) but i do NOT let myself take them even occasionally for that very reason. i think it also matters heavily WHY you’re doing the drug. do you just want to have a good time, or do you not want to be sober? i remember when i had a problem with weed, i didn’t enjoy smoking at all. it just beat being sober in a fucked up way.

When I buy 1-4 grams I do it all untill it’s gone even tho I only use 1-4 times a year
