ROA (route of administration) also matters, and those figures you've given appear to be a mix of IV (intravenous) and IM (intramuscular) injection doses.
Many recreational users insufflate (snort) ketamine, and that ROA has much lower bioavailability than IM or IV - IIRC, it's something like 20% for insufflation, 80% for IM, and 100% for IV. Thus, you need a much higher dose for snorting.
- d1sxeyes 2y agoI agree. The article is unclear though. For recreational users snorting (I think it's 'insufflate', rather than insulate), the DanceSafe link is clear that that's the method (it says 'snort 30-60mg'). As you say, you'd expect users to need a much higher dosage for snorting than IV. Either way, the article has since been silently updated to remove the 100-300x claim that I took issue with, so either I, or someone else, managed to get the point across to the author.
