I think the youth of today need to be educated, in the party scene especially. I was a Ketamine addict for just over a year, not as long as some of the other users i've met I know, but my life spiraled out of control on this substance - I was already having problems with Alcohol and Crack Cocaine, and other problems at home & work so to me Ketamine seemed like a 'safer' escape for me. It was only when I started loosing my friends & family, shutting myself in my room & getting wrecked on my own that I decided I needed to sort my mental & physical health out.
I managed to do the quitting myself, cold-turkey....I started reading LOTS of books again in those first few months, keeping my mind away from drink & drugs and re-training my brain. I have in the year since I quit achieved so much in my life, I moved out & got my own place, saved lots of money to travel, bought loads more records (hehe, better than blasting it on K!) and have never felt better (my veggie diet helps, do does drinking lots of green tea!) In the first few months of quitting ALL other drugs, I took a large dose of Psilocybin mushrooms, an awesome experience which I felt healed me spiritually, and has had a lasting positive impact on my life.
I no longer look to drugs as a means of 'getting wasted' and look toward plant-based entheogens as tools for spiritual guidance - and as nature's best anti-depressant.
So, come on kids - don't play around with chemicals & man-made highs which mess up your brain chemistry - keep a clean straight head, or use what nature has provided in an intelligent & responsible manner!
