- For half a century, prohibition has been causing chaos and misery worldwide. Any attempt to shut down the drugs trade invariably sets off a chain of events that just makes things worse, leaving a trail of death, illness, violence, slavery, addiction, crime and inequality across the globe. The War On Drugs is a war in which everyone loses - except, in a weird kind of way, the drugs themselves.
It may lack the glamorous associations of cocaine and the hedonistic kudos of ecstasy, but ravers, doctors and therapists worldwide are united in their love for ketamine. The trippy anaesthetic has thrived despite global attempts to ban it and has overcome PR damage caused by teenage incontinence and knocked-out horses. Since it was first used by US field surgeons in the Vietnam War, the drug has quietly been winning battles in the War On Drugs across the planet, and today is adored by club kids zoning out at afterparties and pioneering psychotherapists alike.

The "war" shouldn't be focused on drugs, but on the social conditions that are causing increasing dependency on drugs.
Most of cocaine has been consumed by middle class and upper middle class people....who have not been facing social conditions making them want to escape their circumstances...in fact pot is pretty much the same..

I've done ketamine Infusion therapy for my PTSD, Depression and chronic pain. It absolutely saved me from the hell that is suicidal deep Depression
Definitely would love to see it as a mainstream treatment.
This bro same for me...at 42 I was getting finally ready to throw in the towel. Been on opiates since 19 from my military service to hardly any effect the anxiety and depression meds have rarely helped. Now with age things are worsening while I sit silently in my own nightmares unable to sleep withing in pain wish for death. I find no happiness in anything I love. Until 2 weeks ago when I had my first ketamine infusion. It's been a game changer but it hasnt lasted long but it gave me a break showed me I can still love things and myself. Has allowed me to sleep without nightmares. Medical science needs to know this medicine be it for pain or for mental health is the holy grail especially once its mastered. Brother i hope you are doing much much better as I truly understand exactly what you are living through
I read a peer reviewed article where they are studying using ketamine for treating severe ADD/ADHD apparently with good results.
It's literally going to cost me 3000$ for my 6 treatments a booster a some therapy sessions, it's insane, but if it last it could be cheaper then we spend on our meds we have to take daily 😒 I'm willing to try, consultation tomorrow.
@@alliibee4015 Is it going to be for Pain, Psychiatric, or other treatment? Ether way good luck and i hope it works out.
@@bdb3350 well I heard it works for anxiety and depression PTSD and chronic pain, my main reason is anxiety and depression but I also have back pain and I feel some PTSD from past experiences, so all around I feel like I'm going in for a renewal of everything I hope. Please send good vibes my way ✌🏻 I'm very anxious
Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression...The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself...I used antidepressants for some years but it only made me feel like a zombie but with immediate use of mushroom 🍄 in few months I feel like I'm living a whole new Life.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety level .I would love to try to shrooms.

I’ve experienced third and fourth degreeburns ,
Ice picking brain splitting migraines that last 48 hours,
Fractured tibia:
Skin grafting from my legs- where they use a cheese grater type device to shave skin off.
(I woke up during thatnpricedure)
And thus was on a daily regiment of super heavy scripted narc opioids, such as fentanyl citrate, fentanyl lollipops and of course the patches,
Along with break thru meds like dilaudid oxycodone and my personal favourite oxymorphone.
After years of deal with ptsd depression anxiety, trauma, my body as unfortunately taken more than it’s fair toll of stress load.
Being on methadone replacement therapy for years before the open heart surgery, my tolerance is like that of an elephant.
They upped the methadone as high as they could be allowed, had me on fent drip, and hydromorphone IM injections every 4-6 hours.
This was during surgery.
When I woke, I was in the most pain and thus physical body and mental stress and anguish to a degree that words don’t suffice.
Especially not sufficient for adequately sharing the info to garner true genuine empathy by those who’ve never experienced that.
I was in the most pain in my life, more than the burns, more than the skin grafts, immediately waking up in post op.
For whatever reason the specialized pain treatment team in the hospital took close to 12 hours to begin to address the situation with potentially suitable pain relief.
No I didn’t get a heart infection from a dirt needle I always used fresh ones that I rip
Open from the pack,
I was born with a heart murmur that I was never told about and my aortic valve began leaking the blood into my system.
Ans my system went into toxic shock.
It was five weeks of IV antivirals BEFORE SURGERY even started, then I was in there for six weeks post op.
My point is , if they weren’t knowledgeable or perhaps a little more hasty with the genius move to add ketamine into the mix, in time,
My entire body EASILY could’ve shut down from the further load of tremendous shock.

Having been a member of The Cleveland Clinic’s Ketamine study around this time in 2018 (in an attempt to try to treat my OCD), I found that Ketamine is an extremely innocuous drug that when taken responsibly, can really help those suffering from mental illness.
Unfortunately for me, I was not one of the people it helped a ton. At its climax, I at most felt mildly tipsy.
I really don’t see any downside to this drug. I was always cleared to drive myself home right afterward so, technically with my current weight and height, I could theoretically get a DUI for having single beer. But after an hour of Ketamine, I was good to go.
If more medication like this were legal, I do not see people like myself needing to self-medicate as much with actual dangerously hard and fatal drugs or alcohol by any means.
It will ruin your urinary track.
Well spoken Brittany. And to think that alcohol is legal and readily available when it's *really* dangerous and corrodes body and mind . . .
The k bladder thing is scary af. When your peeing blood but still wanna use and people say this isn’t addictive. Also causes extreme stomach cramps. I’m talking about years of heavy prolonged usage.
I had light k bladder and cramps after few months. But it was easy to stop when I didnt have it at home. i find weed much harder to stop.because of insomnia which was not present on ketamin withdrawal.

A friends girlfriend offered me Ketamine to help come down from a cocaine party. After a dose I went into another room to select some vinyl to play (I’m a DJ) while selecting tunes I suddenly felt this woosh of disconnect from my physical body and my surroundings I somehow made my way back to the living room (in reality only about 6 second walk) the journey felt like I was in a floating Astro traveling time machine, upon arrival in what was meant to be the lounge area all the people that where there where there but the surroundings had completely changed we where all somewhere else somewhere vivid and vague that was the start of trip so intense I have difficulty putting into words. To say that I was not expecting that is the biggest understatement of life.

Ket has wonderfully therapeutic qualities. Even though it’s an anesthetic, micro dosing helps you disarm from social situations you may initially find uncomfortable. One thing: watching somebody go through a k-hole is a little freaky. If you use it recreationally be careful and don’t mix it with other substances.

Ketamine is a powerful tool for many mental health issues. Excited to see more studies + legitimate clinics push this to the mainstream.
K is the best option available to fight endless and ruthless rumination in the brain. The esketamine or SPRAVATO approved by the FDA has worked for me as well. Hopefully, infusion therapy will be covered by insurance.....someday.

I've used ketamine (very small doses) just for the sole reason of trying to get out of a depressed state. It helped me more than all the other drugs that were ever prescribed to me, and it does so instantly. It's not a miracle that's going to fix your depression just like that. But it snapped me out of that lifeless feeling and made me remember what it's like to feel a bit of joy. It's not permanent, but it can give you a jump start and a different outlook on things, and hopefully find ways to get better.
Where did you get it?
what dosage and how much do you weigh
you were doing it responsibly and got out of the rut but some people will not treat it this way and thats dangerous
@@Adam-yo3bt I understand, it can indeed be dangerous if you start abusing it. I would only recommend people try it in a professional setting.
You should do it in a controlled setting with a doctor via intravenous or intramuscular injection. It’s a considerably different experience
For chronic pain it's amazing. After three brain surgeries and a failed back procedure within a year, I was starting to get ketamine infusions to leave the hospital. This was after they tried fentanyl, morphine, dilated.
Thankfully for chronic pain there are centers with ketamine infusions as an option for pain therapy outside of the hospitals, but they're very expensive. If those were more affordable and talked about, I think a lot of people could get off pain pills and that would be beautiful.
i like the fact that in the most videos the host is very serious, but when he talks about ket he is smiling almost everytime he says it
The war on drugs is lost. Best way to combat it is legalization.
Genocide*
Depenalization is better
@Jonah Sabeh Geneva suggestions my friend
@@user-vp9lc9up6v I like the word culling too. Seems more fitting.
Legalization is the only way, correct.
“You have to do ketamine at least 500 times before you even start to understand”
True. Takes a little while to actually let go and float around
Is that before or after bladder gets destroyed?
MrEhills junkie
@@edfx Mega-high rec doses can harm you. But the low dose therapeutic sessions don't
im halfway there
the more time goes on i think the more the psychiatric drug scene looks like how it was in the beginning. psychoactive pioneered research at first, and i think it’s wonderful they’re back out there helping people again.
I am currently a student paramedic in Australia and with my limited on road time at every case I’ve seen ketimine used as a anglesic and or behaviour control it has saved every one of those patients life’s
I once was stuck playing an intense game of 4D tetris in my mind when I went into a monster K hole.
It’s so depressing to me that upon finishing my 4 ketamine treatments on Friday, I’m now in a TERRIBLE mood on Sunday. I was so hoping for relief and it seems I’m even worse. Feeling very tired and somewhat foggy and very irritated.
I put all my chips on this treatment working. I’m feeling so disappointed. So much despair
*****UPDATE!!! That funk was temporary and I’ve had much improvement since then. Very happy with my treatments. ****
I’m in the same situation
all feelings and emotions are fleeting. Research mental alchemy and the laws of polarity, rhythm, vibration, correspondence, cause and effect..
are you better?
@@jaspergabriels8933 yes!
Great video
When your looking at your own hands but from 30ft away.
And sink into the bed thru the hotel floor under you, looking up at rainbow tuner bed sheets and ceiling light 30ft away.....
Maybe but not myself.
I’ve seen so many of my friends on this and have one currently addicted and refuses to stop or acknowledge how bad it is... I can’t get her to stop and we’ll I guess that’s her life...
That's pretty sad.
Same. I knew so many people who started off as just recreational users and now are addicted. One last lost his life due to suicide and the others are kinda down the same path
@Bejamin Parker 100% agree
Move on she’s a junkie now
@Bejamin Parker I am sorry to hear. The good thing about heroin is that if you went cold turkey, you wouldn't have severe side effects and wont die (like they do with alcohol/benzos). Its all a mind game
Ahh Mr. Krabs beat me in a coin toss to decide my fate.
Today is day 2 of my Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy training. It's hard to express just how excited I am to be a part of this.
hello, any updates on this ?
@@glockymenor6760 I've worked with Ketamine patients for some time now.. it's a joy to see them make progress. Thank you for asking!
Had my first infusion for TRD, CPTSD, and chronic nerve pain and all I can say is.. wow. it's been 3 days since first infusion and my nerve pain has never been so minimal. Really looking forward to the next infuison!!
@@Barbaradapic-hn4ij I'm permabanned on insta lol
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

@@sarahh321 Where to search?? Is it IG?
@@Jerryberger9235 Yes
They knocked me out with ketamine to put my ankle back into place after I dislocated it and broke my tibia and fibula. It was a horrible experience. I could see and hear everything but I couldn’t say anything. I felt like I was dead, I was ecstatic when I woke back up. They gave me morphine and fentanyl to try to ease my pain and they did nothing. I’ve been told by nurses and x ray techs that my fractures are pretty impressive.
Wait the K anesthetic was a horrible experience or just breaking your leg? I thought this was K's main usage, if you don't mind how was it bad for you? Being somewhat conscious of it?
@jk damn I'm in the hospital right now with same injury they gave me ketamine when I woke up from my first surgery in agony I enjoyed it tho anything to help that feeling of intense pain
I suffer from PTSD, Anxiety and severe depression. I don't think people know how dark it can get so hearing this may help me I am going to ask my treating providers. I am currently being treated with a mix of 7 drugs and honestly does not help.
I’d lived with chronic depression and depressive anxiety my entire life. The first time I attempted suicide was age 7, and daily suicidal ideation was part of my entire life. In 2021, I wound up in a psychiatric unit after another suicide attempt. SSRIs and talk therapy had been insufficient. My psychiatrist recommended ECT or ketamine treatment. I did 6 infusions at a clinic over the course of two weeks. My life ever since has been more tranquil and manageable than I’ve ever known, my friends find me easy to be around, and I don’t obsess or catastrophize anymore. Ketamine is life saving. Those 6 sessions two years ago made me a different person in so many healthy ways.
While I recognize and appreciate the medical usage of this drug. I feel vice failed to adequately show the risks it poses on the unmonitored public along with its recreational usage.
Absolutely.
I was quite well-connected with harm reduction groups when I started dabbling with ket so I was fairly well-informed compared to many regulars.
I had some incredibly positive effects from my first two or three small sessions of it but then I had some insidious post-use depression which absolutely destroyed all mental health progress it had provided me with.
It was like the post-MDMA mid-week dumps, but slower and harder to recognise, plus seemingly far more aggressive depression than anything I’d had before.
Misinformation and ignorance, be it by the authorities or the public , poses risks
Exactly! I was surprised when this video ended. Like what was the point of this? All that was shown in this video says K is awesome. So why the war against it?
I have worked in private security 15 years. In my experience people on ket tend to be difficult to deal with. (non medicinal, non controlled dosage etc) I have seen everything from simply passing out to extreme violence. One guy took a dose in the bathroom then walked into a club delusional and attacked several people with a glass bottle.
While i can appreciate its use medicinally, like the vast majority of drugs careful moderation is the key. Too much of anything is bad, and with ket the dosage difference between a good time and the worst night of your life seems to be very small.
The public needs VICE to tell them ketamine use is risky? It’s something you put into your body…of course it’s risky. From water to Tylenol, everything comes with risk. VICE isn’t the voice you need to hear.
Ketamine infusions and nasal spray saved my life, by far the best thing I’ve ever used for PTSD, depression, and complex regional pain syndrome.
Very interesting, hope this can help lots of people.
Nice vid ty

When's the Bristol documentary coming out?
Are you suggesting bristol doesn't say neigh ?
Bristol is in the process of opening a fully legit Ketamine Clinic. I believe the clinical lead for it is Dr Ben Sessa. Does a great Ted Talk about MDMA and some other stuff you’ll find on here.
Bristol like the ket head capital 😂😂
When y’all get rid of piers Morgan 😂
I've always been emotionally all over the place, but Ketamine eases your worries, just appreciate it and enjoy the moment
Nice!!!i know ketamine helped me thru much grief and depression and helped me heal
I have been having K for a while to battle my depression and it has saved my life.
Never really been the same since the drought in 2011, when it moved from the industrial produced Indian racemic ketamine to the Chinese lab prod used stereoisomers ketamine.
Enter the "Legalize Pot" comments.
Should it not be?
What is your point? The war on drugs isn't very successful.
to be fair, legal weed would be nice
Already is here, legalize this now
It is legal
After surgery on my crushed lower arm, I got Ketamine-IV drip at the hospital for some days, and it was the most high I've ever got. Had gotten Fentanyl IV before surgery, Metadone and Oxycontin, but it does not come close. Add to that lower abstinence getting off it, and...it's a potent painkiller AND anti-anxiety drug.
I've benefited so much from psychedelics. My depression, anxiety, insomnia and also psychedelics has improved my creativity and focus.
I get my stuff from an Online store his got his got shrooms, psychedelics, microdose, Dmt' vape pen, cart, and other products we refined ships to anywhere also guides you if you're a newbie

I've had many awesome adventures at home from ket the morning after the night before. Good wholesome fun!
Just one thing I want to know... Are the JVC CRTs actually on and working? :D
What does the “war on drugs” even mean at this point
It means going out there and becoming a soldier and battling these drugs yourself! Are you ready to enlist? It's a life changing decision. So grab your kit and jump into the trenches, we can only win it ourselves.
It's being used to single out drugs that don or profit the right people. The people who lobby for drug laws, Etc are involved in big pharma, and usually get massive benefits from suppressing natural drugs that the user can reproduce, like cannabis. They will railroad any drug not on their agenda, and not exclusively controlled by them.
The war on drugs was neccessary to maximize profits for a privatized prison system
Stephan Williams whenever I her "the war on drugs" I automatically think of big pharma companies
Subjugating minorities.
It's good stuff. Lot's of people disagreed with me on this, but I found DXM quite similar.
😂 Gave out so much details I might try to synthesize it at home tonight
Took some really good MDMA last summer on a beautiful night and we were doing bumps of K while rolling. After around 30 minutes of doing that we went outside on my back porch and I suddenly noticed I was hovering above myself watching me and my friends chat. It was one of my craziest drug experiences for sure. Very surreal
Yeeeee I had the same exact experience the first time I did it lol
Omfg I thought I died when this happened 😂😂😂 I did a shitload of triple cs with my friends when I was like 15 and felt myself get up like in cartoons and walk away while my real body was still laying on the bed.
Been there before on a dxm trip. Literally thought I was in two places at the same time
Literally nobody calls Ketamine "Rhino-Smasher" or "Wonk" - Like imagine asking a dealer "Alright mate, have you got any Rhino Smasher?"
when you google ketamine slang on SAMHSA
We used to call it kitty, Kizzy, razzle. Stuff like that out here in Toronto area
If I asked for a bag of wonk I'm fairly sure everyone would know what I wanted
This is the best series on vice
been doing ketamine treatments for 3 years now. really works!
ketamine gives me the best trips ever, they are so out of this world I love them so much it's like being an astronaut in the year 3000
I've never had the chance to try it but REALLY want to. I feel like it could be a great option for people suffering from opiate withdraw.
The out of body experiences are unreal!!!!
Sweet I wanna walk on the moon 🌚
Nice other haven't been so lucky people I know lost their minds on it
@@zinkarius7 that's why you don't go overboard and only do it if you're healthy
I tried it recreationally and the next day felt amazing. I called it my ketamine reset. Then it was such a profound mood lift I researched to find all the antidepressant properties. It's truly amazing medicine.
Microdosing ketamine every few days as a sublingual tablet has absolutely changed my life. I have been on anti-depressants since I was 12 (17-18 years) and found some relief, but nothing that brought me any kind of real stability. With a number of attempts to end my life in my past, the ideations plagued me daily and the simple act of waking up in the morning was a battle. Since adding ketamine to my medication routine I feel a relief I could have only dreamed of prior. While I can't credit ketamine with all my success as I have also done intensive therapy, I don't know that I would be typing this from my own apartment pursuing a life I actually look forward to without it. I can finally see myself and the world around me without the shadow of harmful ideations plaguing me. I hope more research and development are done regarding ketamine, I wouldn't wish the chains of major depression on anyone.
(I should note that I have never really been "high" from it as my dose is fairly mild and I take it before I fall asleep, so I can't speak to any of the harmful side effects that were only briefly touched on.)
