I'm in Australia. I bought a half gram of ketamine off an older lady with dreadlocks at a party in a forest outside town. She had described it as a 'new drug chemically similar to ket'. She gave fair warning and said go very easy on this stuff as it was quite potent and long lasting.

I did the right thing after hearing that and waited until I got home in a safe space, I had 2 reasonably large bumps and bam i was in for a ride until 10am. I had also had some MDMA earlier. The experience was extremely similar to ketamine, I didn't notice anything was different or wrong until a couple of hours later and I was still in there. It wore off extremely slowly and after a while it became a horrible experience and one that I just wanted to end. The effects were the same as ket, although they were extremely intense for the amount i had taken. The fear kicked in that I was never going to get out of this hole, 5 or 6 hours later I was in a space well enough to sleep.

Cut to a month or two later, I was telling some friends about it and we thought we would give it a try. This time without any MDMA as i that may have caused the sleep issues ect... 1 tiny bump each for the 3 of us and it threw all 3 of us into the same state. Pretty good fun for a while for 2 of us, 1 friend had a horrible time. It lasted for several hours, still up at 10am feeling the effect of the drug.

I threw it down the drain that evening. This stuff is so potent it's scary, one bump can put you in a different space for several hours
