> Though I'm hoping that cost includes a doctor's supervision and stuff? Supervision by a nurse. It's usually contracted out. > $6000 would buy me enough Special K for several life times ... If it's not the same procedure (IV) with a compound that is pure you might not be getting any of the benefits.

At the same time since insurance doesn't cover this the only real option for people who don't have that kind of money (myself included) is black market self-administration or more traditional therapies which may not be as effective.

Med grade K pops up for about 140 USD a gram. It's not hard to get insulin needles. There are guides on how to IV on the internet. This would likely last much shorter then an infusion as there's a limited options for setting a running IV as opposed to just a single injection.

  That's US street price. On the dark web you can get medical grade for $20 a gram.

    And from a veterinarian in Central America for less than $5 a gram. Is there a difference between "medical grade" and what is used for animals?

      Animals rarely sue their doctors.

      I said medical to differentiate it from street k which comes as a powder and is usually cut which is bad for injection. And there shouldn't be a difference between animal and human ketamine.

    Your "medical grade" could be fake on the darkweb, who knows what you are getting? "In the village of Boshe, underground laboratories are producing ketamine cheaply in large amounts." from: http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-china-33472971/inside-a-chinese-ketamine-village http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-china-33472971/inside-... I also wouldn't be trusting the packaging wasn't fake (or refilled).

      The darkweb is generally safer than buying shit from random people in real life

      Don't think it'd be worth the trouble. They'd more likely produce the powder as that's easier to conceal for shipping or more likely just make DCK which is still legal.

    No you can't. Powder is 60-70 USD, vial liquid is 120-140 USD. If you want to import from South Africa it can be that cheap but that stuff sucks.
