Experiences - Cigarettes and Ketamine, Don't Mix!

[ThirdEyeFloond]

While on ketamine SWIM nearly burned down the house tonight.
Evidently he had been smoking a cigarette when the ketamine hit, then dropped the cigarette onto a T-shirt on the floor when he dosed off. The T-shirt caught fire and if it hadn't been for SWIM's cat a whole lot more would have been in flames. He doesn't recall any of it though, and fears he actually lit the cigarette after he was well on his way into the K-realms. Luckily the cat meowed so much that the other residents of the house noticed so they came and put the fire out. They couldn't get in contact with SWIM at the time. Although he was moving his arms and hands around in various mudras there seemed to be "nobody home". So imagine the shock SWIM faced when he came to himself returning from, his perspective, a pleasant peaceful journey in the K-realms. This has happened to SWIM before, the first time a friend accidently dropped by at the same time SWIM's duvet was on fire and the friend had thrown the duvet out the window and actually saved SWIM's life. When he woke up they had an argument over what really had happened because SWIM was pretty sure he knew what he had been doing, but the smoking evidence on his lawn unfortunately was pretty substantial.

When he first started using ketamine SWIM would often smoke half a joint or cigarette on the onset of the trip to boost the overall experience, it didn't cause any problems as he was well aware of when the ketamine was kicking in, and always managed to put the joint or cig in the ashtray in due time. Many many trips later this isn't the case nomore, and SWIM is scared of these PCP-like episodes where his body is causing havoc while his mind is in space.

So if SWIY is a smoker and does ketamine in K-hole dosages be VERY carefull, I'd advice SWIY to place your cigarettes and lighters out of reach, in another room, to avoid the temptation of the evidently nicotine-craving dissociated mind.
