To be fair, the dosages most of these doctors are administering are well under a usual recreational dose, as the article mentions. IIRC you also build tolerance to ketamine pretty quickly, so I'd imagine the amount of K those people are doing that's causing bladder damage is a couple orders of magnitude larger than any of these patients.
- user_0001 11y agoYou don't get bladder problems using / abusing ketamine just at weekends. People sniffing it every day / all day and getting through the 5grams+ But hammering that much every day of any drug is not a good idea. At the above+1 commenter, take LSD at high doses everyday and see what damage you do to yourself
- scarmig 11y agoLSD is as close to as harmless a drug, physiologically, as you can get--no one has ever died of an overdose on it, and there isn't permanent physiological damage that happens even with regular heavy use. Of course, your psyche might be another matter...
- user_0001 11y agoAgreed, not physically damaging. But it can destroy you mentally if used often and in heavy doses. >but I've never heard of LSD destroying a persons bladder. That was the quote I was referring to. Bladder in tact, but a shell of a person left with severe paranoia and mental problems. Not to hate on LSD, but no drug is safe is abused daily.
- ionised 11y agoI'm not sure it's even possible to do decent quantities of LSD daily, at least in the context of trying to achieve a potent effect. Plenty of times in my life I've done LSD and I learned pretty early on that it was pointless to try a dose the day after a previous dose. It would just have very little to no effect on my mind and I would typically have to wait a few days at least before doing it again before it worked.
