    They gave me ketamine the last time I was in the hospital for pain so they could knock me out.

    It was the single worst experience of my life, even worse than the injury I was being knocked out for. I was semi conscious the entire time, but I couldn’t feel or hear anything. I just knew people were all around me doing something. It feels like I was dead for a while. I have very few memories from the time they first gave it to me in the ambulance to the time I woke up at home the next day.

    Fucking awful experience all around. Next time I was in the hospital for an unrelated condition I told them I’d rather have zero pain medicine than even a tiny amount of ketamine

        They gave me low dose in the ambulance. While it was a decent high, I still had the same memory issues (which I always have while high, but at least I can normally remember something)

            Good to know, especially since the ambulance really didn’t give me much.

            I’m still gonna pass on it though cause that was such an awful experience and I’d much rather just take an edible

      I don’t understand why this is bad?

      I’m reading this like you’re unhappy you don’t remember the pain? And you want pain?

      Or is this sarcasm?
