ketamine | k | keta

To get high, to relax your mind and your muscle. Many people use it to practice fisting too.
K is also used for fisting because it’s an anesthetic and makes your brain dissociate from pain. K does not work topically, so if you put it on your asshole, as some gay men do, it’s not going to numb it.

When taking ketamine, you are likely to feel as though your body and mind have been separated and you are having an out-of-body experience. Hallucinations and loss of feeling in parts or all of the body are also common. How you are going to react to ketamine depends on your mood and environment that you are in at the time when you take it. K is usually taken in small doses, like in a bump off a key or a bumper (a device that premeasures the amount).

Occasional use of K is not too harmful but when it is used regularly or on a daily basis, it can become as dangerous as any other addictive drug. People often start taking it to forget their problems or cope with stress. Heavy use of ketamine can lead to bladder damage, which is irreparable in some cases.

Although it can give you a trippy feeling, K is actually a tranquilizer that numbs your body, which means that you can seriously injure yourself without realizing it until much later. If you take too much K, you can go into a “K-hole,” an experience involving hallucinations, feelings of paralysis, and a loss of a sense of time and space. However, there have been no reported cases of anyone not coming out of it. Like other chemicals, K could lead to decreased inhibitions; you may forget about using condoms and put yourself at risk of picking up or passing on an STI or HIV. Similar to G, if you are in a vulnerable situation, this could leave you open to sexual assault.

Mixing K with G or alcohol can cause respiratory failure as they are all central nervous depressants.

Like all great things, we started small. We took a few like-minds with a shared vision—and ran with it. Today, we’ve grown into something big.
