Is it me or do all the drug posts on uber consist of a description of some enraged paranoid episode/mildly comical freakout session followed by the words 'Ill never smoke pot/eat hash cookies/drop acid/eat adrenochrome again".
Ive done a lot of drugs. Ive done pretty much every major drug that's available in the western world except for crack (because crack dealers scare the fuck out of me). Bizarrely the only drug to have ever left me thinking 'Ill never do that again' is alcohol. I drank a large amount of cheap vodka once and woke up the next morning with a mouthful of nasty, bleeding ulcers and a headful of screaming braincells. The most Ill drink now is a couple of pints, drunkenness does not appeal to me.
On the other hand, give me a mind altering chemical substance and I will stick it in my mouth, veins, nose or rectum quicker than you can tell me what it is.
On that note, Id like to talk to you all about a little experience I had while on a drug called Ketamine. Now Ketamine suffers from a bad rap, mostly because the only thing that most people know about it is that it is a horse tranquilliser. Yep, you heard me right. Its for knocking out horses when a baseball bat aint handy. The first time I tried it was at a warehouse party in northwest London. Warehouse parties are great, especially if they are illegal, because at most clubs (especially in a place like london) the clientele tends to consist of big spending townies, suited and booted, enjoying champagne and cocaine (unless you go to a place like frantic - in which case you'll be sharing a room with 2000 gurning australians). In other words, theyre cunts. Warehouse parties are different, because theres a different class of people and a different class of drugs.
Allow me to set the scene, its approximately 2am the party is still going strong. We are in what used to be the abandoned administration offices for what used to be a fairly large warehouse complex. The walls are covered in neon graffitti, made further lurid by the addition of UV lights everywhere. Doorways open on to darkened spaces, some filled with rubbish, detritus, the ghostly flicker of candles or the beds of the homeless who live here (and who have enthusiastically joined the party). Hard trance pumps out from unlocated speakers and in the middle of the floor sits a girl in white. Feeling a little twisted already I decided to sit down next to the girl and talk.
She turned out to be canadian, I forget her name, maybe she didn't give it. She was wearing a long white skirt and a pale shirt. Her black hair is tied back and she stares into the distance. She was in what users refer to as the K-hole, a condition of strange detachment during which many claim to be conversing with the almighty. Talking to her is hard, replies come back disjointed and after a long delay, like those TV journalists who Report Live from Basra. She reveals shes on Ketamine, she offers me some in powder from. I take it, I can never refuse anyone who looks so much like a fallen angel.
I take a sniff, not too much though, I don't want to be rude. Ketamine burns the inside of your nose in a way that cocaine can never prepare you for. It leaves you reeling and clutching your nose like a gross parody of Mrs Mia Wallace.
And after a while it comes. Buy the ticket, take the ride as Hunter says. My memories from this night are strange and disjointed. Ketamine makes you feel like youre floating. I floated around the warehouses with a couple of friends, finding new rooms, finding abandoned cars, finding people. I remember jumping on the roof of a burnt out car with a homeless guy, I remember following a trail of small candles across the black and echoing darkness of a warehouse, I remember dancing, movement, but above all I remember going on to the roof and looking out across london. It was late, the sky was a deep violet colour and I felt that it was within reaching distance, if only I put out my hand. Below me London stretched out lights twinkling like diamonds on a velvet cushion. In that moment I felt more alive, more spiritual and more connected than I felt in my entire life.
Id definitely do Ketamine again.

K hole = Tunnel Vision
and its not a cat tranqulizer or a horse tranqulizer
it's a vetrinary (multi use) tranqulizer
Your a stupid fuck for thinking that your "enlightened" for using, flame me but when you grow up you'll realize why i'm right.
---------------------------------------
The k-hole is not merely tunnel vision. You are an idiot.
Vetrinary does not mean multi use, you cunt, it means its for animals. Remind me again what cats and horses are?
I never said I was enlightened. Im 23, Ive done my growing up. It sounds to me like you need to grow up and stop basing your assumptions (and they are assumptions because you abviously dont know what youre talking about) on what your parents told you.

Hugeos - It was neasden way, right on the north circular. That was a fucker to get to aswell.
Totally_Useless - Thanks for the advice man, its cool though, I did know pretty much what I was getting into. Im pretty familiar with, shall we say, drug lore and information. I have been ever since the first and only time I did acid. Very, very bad trip.
As for the coke thing, sounds good but I dont usually do coke on account of it not being worth the amount you pay for it.
Method and Apollo88 - Thanks for the -2 on account of the grammatical structure. Fuck you too.

If you take enough of it, you can actually UNDERSTAND the second disk of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma album.
--------------------------------------------
I have always understood this song:
Several species of small, furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict
But doc's right. Take some K, and this will make sense.
On another note, you'll never catch me doing K. I have watched one of my friends become almost comatose and vomit blood from taking too much. It's a rough decision when you have to force a gram of coke up someone's nose so they will come back to reality...
Oh, and to Mr. Drug who wrote this post: If you brush up on your drugs, you'll find that crack can easily be made from coke. All you need besides coke is a spoon, a penny, baking soda, water, and a lighter.
But I don't know these things.
Good post.

Ketamine is not my thing - too spacey. Enjoys the warehosue party mention though - whereabouts do you usually go? The ones I have been going lately have been around Hangar Lane - bit of an arse to get to compared to the old Hackney ones.

Ketamine HCL was once used as a battlefield anesthetic (on humans). They stopped because
people were freaking out. Guts hanging out, limbs blown off, riddled with shrapnel--then
the medic gets them way high--bad wierdness....
It's a disassociative anesthetic, which means it interferes with the transmission of nerve
impulses somewhere in the medulla oblongata (if memory serves). It also relaxes the smooth
muscles. If you take enough of it, you can actually UNDERSTAND the second disk of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma album. If you take a good bit more than that, it will help you to stop breathing.
Overall an interesting short-term high (effects last slightly longer than DMT), but one to be
careful with.
The most distressing thing I see on this site with regard to drugs is the large number of
people who use them without having done much (or any) research first. From personal experience
I can say: this may not be a very good idea.
Do What Thou Wilt, but remember: within the dream of causality, actions have consequences.

There are paragraphs. Just no gaps in between them. Don't be such a reading fag.
Poster: two pints of vodka is still quite a lot.
