      Yes, but it’s generally folks who IM it who do.

      Matthew Perry is probably the most famous example. But growing up in the party scene, it does happen fairly often.

        Yeah I wasn’t sure cos I know plenty of people who do it and are always all right for the most part. The effects never appealed to me so I just never partook but it seems like you really have to fuck up bad to be in serious trouble on it

          Yeah, the IM users are bypassing first pass metabolism. And cranking up their tolerance to unsustainable levels.

          Which makes it a lot more dangerous than for folks who snort or inhale it. So, we don’t hear about many overdoses. Especially if someone is using a mist inhaler from a Dr.

      Not really. And I wouldn’t pin this behavior on something that has therapeutic use anyway, ketamine deserves better.
