Spot on. The 8%, if accurate, are Big Pharma reps, doctors, nurses, etc.
Has to be.
People who have a vested interest in keeping it illegal.
Oh, let’s add those involved in the private, for profit prison industry too.
I’ll tell you what... it’s really great to see ketamine infusion clinics opening up for things like treatment resistant depression.
Haven’t seen too many that accept insurance yet but one step at a time.
And 100% agree with everything you mentioned.
I’m expecting an ibogaine disinformation campaign funded by the Sacklers any minute now.
As far as readily available NMDA antagonists go, agmatine and memantine are also dirt cheap, although I don’t know how effective they are in relation to ketamine.
Side effect profiles are far lower, that’s for sure.
I would have to imagine DXM having a similar effect to ketamine at the right plateau. It would just be a much longer experience.
I haven’t read too many reports from people using it recreationally. But from what I understand, it isn’t anything like a typical tryptamine.
I have read that it carries increased risk, including death, as you’ve mentioned.
For some, strung out on dope, even with that increased risk it’s still a far better option than “liquid handcuffs,” or subs for life. And if I found myself deep in the depths of opiate addiction, it would be a no brainer.
It’s interesting that it seems to reset most, if not all addiction pathways. It makes me curious how effective it would be against a condition like OCD.
My position remains that I believe nature holds the answers to our problems. Pharma knows this and that’s why the vast majority of pharmaceuticals are either derived, isolated or analogs of compounds found in nature. I also don’t think I’ve stumbled onto some profound knowledge. I believe we all inherently know this truth.
Ibogaine does hold a special curiosity for me though. And perhaps the risk makes it even more alluring.
