I recently asked my son who opened up and told me about all the different drugs he’s tried and how they affected him differently.
I asked him because I was interested to know, exactly what it was people got from here substances, in order to understand how they might be helped.
I first came across ketamine in the 1980’s working at a wildlife park where we used it to tranquilise animals prior to surgery and sometimes to put them to sleep. Later I was asked in the last decade if I wanted to try ketamine infusion for my fibromyalgia as pain relief ???????? I said hell no… it’s a thing.
My son informed me that as a ‘recreational’ drug, ketamine made him and his friends feel like they were on another planet. Hallucinating whilst being incapacitated – you can’t move he said. He said it takes you into another world, where there’s no pain. A trip, an escape. Each time is different and you get less bad trips which is unfortunate because bad trips often put you off doing it again.
He told me people do it to escape problems. So counselling might help remove underlying causes and stop the need to escape? Just a thought.
But yes to concur with others, not a drug to mess with and they need to chose help or ship out before they’re permanently damaged. Getting them to open up is so important.
