Health - Overdosing?

[BrainMelt]

How much K would one have to sniff to OD on it? Some people have been saying that you can OD pretty easily and end up in a coma or something. Is this true?

[Lettish]

There are lots of factors that depend on the first question, every person is different. My friend and three of his mates had a good time on 1gram split between them, whereas another one of my friend's mates can do 2gram to himself. Every person is different.

Swiy can get deep into a K-Hole or K-Hell which can bring on a lot of anxiety.

Never done K, but it sounds like most people would probably pass out before they could take enough to die from it. Anasthetic doses can put swiy into a short coma, but that is not really an OD. When K was used medically on humans, it was meant to put them into a temporary coma.

There are those that say that it is easy to overdose on ketamine but this is in fact a common misconception. It is actually a pretty safe drug. Let me explain.

Yes ketamine is used in animal anesthesia but it is used for the same purpose in human hospitals is as well albeit it is rare. Usually doctors will use it on John or Jane Does that come in with no medical history as it is safe when it comes to allergic reactions. The amount it takes for any given person to fall into a K-hole can range from 125-200+ mg depending on the person's weight and tolerance. The amount used in general anesthesia is 8x that.

A fatal OD would very hard from sniffing to achieve. Of course, if you sniff 120 mg upwards, depending on the individual you will go into a state of general anesthesia-- ketamine is a general anesthetic -- which wears off after 45 minutes or so. This might feel a bit like dying to a novice, but is highly sought after by some.

Most ketamine OD's are the result of mixing with other drugs. Most deaths are caused by accident, such as drowning.

I think it's next to impossible to OD. I guess if SWIY were injecting a huge ammount IV then it might be dodgy but if SWIY is snorting
then SWIY would have to have either an extremely large nose or the ability to pick SWIY're nose clear whilst snorting through the other nostril and then alternate.

Its vitually impossible to OD when sniffin K, unless you never pass out and you sniff so much that your liver cant handle any more chemicals. You'd probably pass out due to lack of sleep before you OD. Basically you would have to try painfully hard to OD, thats why swim loves ket
Also to OD while injectin you would have to get some1 to inject it for you as you would be too fucked to refil the needle or inject it all.

From memory, the LD50 is about 6 grams or something, but you physically pass out WAY before that. So sniffing its near on impossible to OD.

Unless you pass out and then suffocate/swollow your tongue/vomit and choke, while passed out but then that won't be because of overdosing.

swim doesn't even think you can OD from ket, you can trip out and have lots of anxiety and perhaps a panic attack if SWIY is the type that has messy trips.

However speaking from experience swim has some how managed to make arround 20-22 grams of ket dissapear into his nose in the course of arround 1.5 days straight. Though this did not result in an OD, it sure did result to the worste week of his life, where his mind was reaching to the point of insanity, not being able to sleep, eat, very strange overall feeling, distorted and delayed vision, EXTREME depression. (This was nothing to be proud of) Swim just wants to mention this so that the next time SWIY does ket, he/she would not need to ruin their trip by thinking that they are going to OD.
