As the saying goes “sober thoughts, drunk words”

People have been known to change personalities and become like that after serious brain injuries. Not uncommon for such people to become right wing.

I don't know much about ketamines effect on the brain..

As a very wise person once told me about acid, it doesn't change you as much as it makes you more like yourself.

Put an A-hole down the K-hole and guess what comes out the other end?

Life is literally an exercise in balance and homeostasis. Too much of anything is almost always bad in the long term.

My mother had to take it for a nerve condition and it fucked her up. Ruined parts of her nervous system and she required physical therapy to be able to grasp objects again.

She has now been in several car accidents since cause she goes into hazes and acts differently. I'm not sure it has good side effects other than being an incredibly strong tranquilizer and disassociative.
Lots of drugs are considered highly by their users but this one seems to have some pretty rough sides to make it sound at all positive to me.

Could be both

I mean this in the nicest way, but your cat would make an excellent replacement for the current governor.

Thinking about it, whoever Elon's dealer is probably has a pretty sweet gig as far as drug dealing goes. They've got someone on the hook who is the magical combination of being an addict, has infinite wealth, doesn't know the value of anything, and is a huge asshole so they probably don't even feel bad about exploiting them lol.

Ketamine, like any drug, should be thoroughly researched.

Hey man, go easy on him. He's researching it as hard as he can, while balancing other responsibilities, like running DOGE. Have you ever tried working for the federal government with a cranium full of ketamine? It's not as easy as he makes it look.

Well...it's found to effective at halting the immediate effects of severe depression. In other words, it's just enough to stop someone from going suicidal or worse. It has NOT been shown to be a good candidate for long-term use in treating general depression in anyone, in fact, there's a larger nunber of studies correlating Ketamine abuse with mental defect than showing it useful in a medical capacity.

There's a huge difference between those two things. Here's a study that only looked at previous records (no conflict of interest in new study targets) : https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8972190/

Valid treatments are abused all the time...

Ket is abused all the time.

Musk isn't taking it therapeuticly, he's taking it recreationally to dissociate from a reality where he's a giant asshole everyone hates and makes fun.

Two completely different uses

It's a dissociative drug that has long been used as a field anesthetic because there's a very wide range of doses that are both effective and non-lethal. It's shown promise in recent years as a treatment for depression and certain other conditions that are resistant to traditional treatments. Ketamine is also sort of fun to do recreationally for the affirmation dissociative effects. Elon Musk is basically a drug addict at this point. He's abusing it way too often and is healthy or safe to do

I don't know about ketamine but I have been around people on Amphetamines. He acts like they did. So a guy trying to run 3 companies at the same time would presumably use amphetamines to have the time. You can go for days without sleeping.

I suppose it's just like most drug addicts, you don't really choose what you get addicted to or when, something just sort of gets its hooks into you at some point and that's it.

Plus if you factor in having essentially no boundaries on your life (ie infinite money and nobody to tell you no or stop you doing anything, being more-or-less above the law, access to high-quality drugs and world-class healthcare) you can probably go on doing stuff like that pretty much indefinitely. IIRC that's how Keith Richards said he was able to go on doing drugs for so long - he was loaded so he could always get the good stuff that wasn't mixed with anything.

I know it's hard to phantom, but they have human bodies

That react to stimulants just like we

But they aren't like us

Narcissism is the main problem with him, K made it worse.

You can see the insecure little boy in him so much. Him and Joe Rogan. They are so obviously doing everything in themselves to have some confidence but not even millions and billions of dollars can fill that hole of abandonment.

Gun?
