You take ketamine because you like it.

I don't take it, because I don't know what it is. (Sounds like a cat drug)

We are not the same.

You don't take ketamine because it's a cat drug

I am a cat

We are not the same

You're a cat.

I'm a cat.

We're different cats.

We are not the same, cat.

It's not far off from catamine...

A common use for it is tranqulizing horses.

And humans!

It's actually used in a lot of veterinary clinics, so you're not far off.

You take ketamine because you are a horse about to undergo surgery.

I don't take ketamine because I'm not a pill popper.

We are not the same

You don't take ketamine cause you don't know how to get it.

I don't take ketamine cause I don't want to piss blood.

We are not the same.

Fair enough. The statement in the middle is indeed made from the point of view of a fictional ketamine-consuming character only created for this particular meme.

Ketamine is actually great for treatment resistant depression. Lotta ignorant people in the comments. Fuck the corpos and their nonsense to avoid treating workers with human decency, but ketamine prescribed correctly is actually quite effective.

It can be quite expensive, but after 20 different antidepressants and antipsychotics, I've considered it. My latest medications were $1738/m and $1800/m respectively. That's like $60 per pill that I need to take daily. I'm in a fortunate position with amazing health insurance that will cover it.

Ketamine is $1200 every 3 months, includes therapy, and has cheaper daily nasal spray to maintain the treatment.

Also, recreational Ketamine is different. There's Ketamine (recreational) and S-Ketamine (therapeutic). It does absolutely give you psychedelic effects, but it wouldn't be as fun of a thing to take in your spare time as Ketamine.

Isn't there some CEO type that abuses Special K and it turned him into a gibbering idiot

[–] gitgud@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

and it turned him into a gibbering idiot

You'd be hard-pressed to determine which one it was by that description alone
