Yesterday evening I happened to be in the mood for a psychedelic experiment. It had been months since I tried a psychedelic, although I regularly have a drink or smoke some hash. I was in a good mood, having a few days off between Christmas and New Year. As I had some Ketamine lying around in the fridge, I suggested trying this to my girlfriend. She had never tried Keteamine before, I myself had snorted low doses of it a few times, with enjoyable results. My girlfriend doesn't like the idea of snorting chemicals and oral ingestion would take too much time to allow us to get to bed in time for our schedule the next morning. (No important appointments, but some shopping etc.) Thinking how I could solve this issue, I wondered if smoking Ketamine might be possible. Searching the internet I couldn't find a lot of data on this subject, except one short report on a reputable website about vaporizing Ketamine, which is apparently possible, and a few sources where smoking Ketamine is mentioned, but not described.

We decided it to be worth a try. As I didn't want to try, and possibly waste, too much Ketamine, I rolled a tabacco/hash joint with some good quality black hash, and added some of the Ketamine to the mix. I estimate it was about 150mg, but I don't have a milligram scale.

We slowly smoked the joint over about 45 minutes. The taste was pretty good, with a mild chemical flavor and some slight numbing of tongue and lips. As the familiar effect of the hash settled in, I noticed the relaxation and physical comfort were much stronger than a normal joint would cause. This made it much easier to relax with eyes closed and really get into the music. I had some electronic music playing, early Autechre and Bola, and the music sounded really crisp and clear, and the aesthetic enjoyment was wonderful. There were some closed-eye visuals, but they were not very vivid. I lay down next to my girlfriend and as I tried to relax further and get more into the music I found that while I was thoroughly relaxed physically, I was still mentally alert and awake, and not slipping into a semi-conscious state as often happens after smoking hash and then relaxing. In this dreamy but alert state I could mentally pick apart the music, and shift my attention from one sound to another, swimming though the music, an activity I love, but for which I find it very hard to achieve the right focus when I'm sober.

All in all I wouldn't classify this as a strong psychedelic experience, but it was very enjoyable. About 30 minutes after finishing the joint the effects were clearly diminishing, but the relaxation remained until I went to sleep about an hour later. The next morning I still felt slightly more relaxed than usual for a couple of hours.

I guess I can conclude that smoking Ketamine is possible, with favourable effects. I may not be the most efficient way to use this substance, and it may not get one into the K-hole or whatever, but it was certainly worth my while.
