Thoughts on IV Ketamine

[Beltane]

SWIM has some experience with IV Ketamine. If a person is not K tolerant, IV K can be very dicey. It is very possible to lose consciousness before finishing a shot. Also, it's SWIM's opinion that even done perfectly, it's nowhere near as fun recreationally as IM.

The only time SWIM thinks it remotely makes sense is after several days of bingeing (which is not suggested) when IM shots are no longer felt.

Interesting tidbit, when shooting K IV after building a significant tolerance through binging, the effects are almost comical. Consciouness is not exactly lost, but in SWIM's experience, the brain "checks out" for up to 2 min. and though outsiders report no loss of consciousness, there are no memories from this time either. SWIM has actually turned to a sitter and sincerely asked, needle in hand, did I already shoot this? How long ago? Often the answer is 2 - 3 minutes.

SWIM recommends IM as the best means of administration and IV as not worth bothering with for any but the most extreme user. It's also not worth trying to scare someone into this opinion, as the average user who tries it once is sure to see it as overpowering and over way too quickly.
