The depression-fixing threshold is smaller that most recreational use, and it would only be once every two weeks. That side effect trivial to rule it out. Educate yourself and stop being a pawn of the drug war. I watched two documentaries in short succession: Drugs Inc's episode on Ketamine, and a few episodes of Combat Medic. Drug Incs' played up the bladder damage, the persistant dissociative feeling with abusers, and how it's just horse and cat tranquilizer that's no longer used on humans. Combat Medic non-challantly showed medics giving ketamine to US soldiers in Afghanistan, because it's an effective and immediate anesthetic. They were subtle about it, but it was there. Our the dissonance in the media about drugs like this is indicative of fear mongering and propaganda.

Just want to say, I hear you and in no way am I a fan of the drug war. I should have read more about toxicity levels before commenting. The reason my initial gut felt this way is not due to any documentary or scare tactic it's purely personal experience. I have two close friends that have taken the recreation too far. One now has permanent bladder issues and the other was lucky to get their habit in check in time. So my gut reaction was not very scientific, apologies. I am a huge fan of legalization and science. Let people make their own mistakes and if there is a medical path that helps people I'm all for it! Just hope that this is also part of the discussion ( harm prevention ) because there is some real risks with abuse, that personally I have witnessed first hand. Having said that science over fear for sure, I am a fan of science over fear. I still feel more positive light than negative and am hopeful people use his for good!
