Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros

It’s a dissociative. Its effects are more like PCP than like alcohol. I wouldn’t use the term “psychedelic” for its effects-- the biochemical pathways are different as well.
Heard it messes up your bladder.
The metabolites burn your bladder severely enough that you can end up pissing blood. The body load seems to be high as well, frequent users look grey and washed-out, and it damages your cognition.
Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term.
I’ve known a few. They started fiending like junkies, lost jobs, destroyed relationships. It’s a dirty drug and, unless you’re getting professional treatment for PTSD, the best advice I can give is to avoid it and to avoid people who use it.

I have some ketamine using friends, it is still way better than coke. I tried it once but dis not feel it’s effect at all 😆 the one who invited me explained it’s effect as I describe my neurodivergence symptoms 🤣 we came to the conclusion that it may makes non neurodivergent people just a bit neurodivergent 🤪
But we were stoned at a music festival, so there is that

People always say things like that as if that some kind of argument in its favor.
Being stabbed in the is better than being shot, but I wouldn’t consider either them to be particularly good for your health.

Oh, that was not my intention, there are far better drugs than K, even some, which don’t destroy your body.
But when I compare friends who use coke vs K, well, there is a big difference. Coke using people tend to get on my nerves (even if they are not on coke right now) and get dumber in some ways, while with people using K, I don’t have that.

Coke use increases aggression and paranoia. My baseline behavioral profile is laid-back and slightly goofy. On coke, I’m a raging, sarcastic, borderline-violent dickhead. Luckily, I had enough self-awareness and self-discipline to walk away from it.
My own experience with K users is much less positive than yours. I won’t even let them in my house, and it saddens me to see how wilted and lifeless they become after habitual use. It might possibly have some value in a controlled clinical setting, but as a recreational drug, it’s shite.
