Uh, why so expensive? Some 20 years ago liquid ketamine was available over the counter in veterinaries here on Balkans, it being known anaesthetics for animals like kettle. You could buy like 2l bottle for less than 20 EUR. When it became really popular among partygoers it became harder to get in cities (also some people got reported to the police), but there was still plenty of it in villages and smaller farming towns. One would just pour the liquid on china plate and put it on smallest temperature on a kitchener. Liquid would soon evaporate, leaving crystals ready for snorting. Fun times. I'm glad they are over for me. I guess I'm cured :)
