Recently had an experience with ket that made me want to properly read up about the differences in isomers, and I’m a fair bit perplexed.

Been using recreationally for just over a year, not always responsibly and had a few months of very excessive use at the end of last year, but made lots of progress since then and in a positive place with it now. Have always known about the isomers and the basic differences but never given much of a shit cos my dealer’s stuff is pretty consistent. Now that I’ve looked more into it though I can definitely recall times where the ratio of isomers was different, but at the time I just put it down to any of the thousands of other variables involved in buying illicit substances.

My usage got pretty excessive last year, worst bender was 14g in 5 days and the cramps I got from that were a kick in the arse to sort it out, and thankfully that I have been doing. Now I’ll happily go weeks without, and no more than 4-5g/week if I am, and that’s mostly down to the permanent tolerance I received from my irresponsibility. Usually I’ll do a 200-300mg line to get lightly but noticeably ketty and go from there. Fairly confident that 99% of the stuff I’ve ever bought has been Racemic, always been in shard/needle form.

Couple nights ago my dealer had just ran out of his usual stock but said he’d been sent some rock k and didn’t know what to do with it, I said I’ll have a bash at it for a tenner discount and deal was done. At first I was skeptical that it was even Ket, it had some shards but they were fatter and less uniform, and uneven sized chunks and powder. I thought that it was a really bad job of cutting shard with MSG and the bag had been bashed about already, ended up doing a 100mg line to see if there was even any K in it, but 10 minutes later my socks were well and truly blown off. Very surprising as you can imagine, but incredibly welcome! It felt much warmer and more coherent and interesting than pretty much all of my previous ket realm visits, but lasted a noticeably shorter amount of time. Ended up only taking about 20% of the amount i’d usually have in a night and had an absolute blast.

After reading up on the isomers I’m 95% sure that bag was S-isomer, but what’s baffling me is how it seemed to just completely avert my tolerance. Maybe it’s possible that the racemic I’ve been getting this whole time has actually been half MSG, but I’ve been able to tell visually when it’s cut and was getting from the only dealer who I was confident had the purest stuff, based on strength, looks and taste. Any guesses?
