I think you make some good points, though I think some of your remarks are a tad too aggressive. Some rebuttal: Your first link is to a trial on ketamine that is currently ongoing, so hasn't reported any results. The second mentions some promise in ketamine for clinical usage, but that doesn't dispute my point that depressants will exacerbate many of the symptoms of clinical depression. > Given that it's a party drug taken in much-higher-than-clinical doses at raves where people dance for hours on it ... You can make the same point about alcohol: people routinely ingest large amounts of alcohol and can still engage in lots of physical activity, despite it being a depressant.

> I think you make some good points, though I think some of your remarks are a tad too aggressive. If you decide to share your opinions on things you don't know about as if you do know about them, then I'm not sure what you're expecting. Warmth and acceptance? > You can make the same point about alcohol: people routinely ingest large amounts of alcohol and can still engage in lots of physical activity, despite it being a depressant. Yes and I will, because that's the entire point of what I'm saying. Just because something falls in the broad category of "depressant" doesn't mean it's going to make you lethargic.
