0.5mg/kg spread out over 40 minutes wouldn’t be as dramatic as you’re suggesting. > 3. Within minutes it would become obvious to everyone in the room if the patient was injected with salt water or ketamine. I think you’re mistaking IV infusion for injection. The dose is given slowly over 40 minutes, not as a rapid injection. The patient would barely have any of the drug in their system in the first few minutes. Given the short duration of action, it wouldn’t produce peak levels anywhere near what recreational users experience.

My personal experience suggests otherwise. In the sessions I had with IV ketamine, it is very, very noticeable and fairly trippy. The eye mask and the music certainly help, but the ketamine is inducing some crazy sensations. I don’t remember the exact dosages I received, but I remember it being in line with what I saw others reporting online from their experiences at a clinic.
