I’m starting ketamine therapy tomorrow. During these sessions, I can be taking upwards of 600mg of the stuff, and here’s what one guide says about doses above 150mg:

First, it can cause a loss of identity & provoke feelings similar to a near-death experience: as though you are experiencing either physical or mental death, relive your life through a narrative of memories, & become more aware of how your actions have affected others.

In this state, you remain aware of who you are, but it’s like watching yourself from the outside. In the second possible state, you lose complete sense of self and can feel as though you’ve joined the collective unconscious or a sacred unity with nature or the universe.

And I’m not gonna lie… I’m looking forward to the ride. I’ve never had experiences anything like what is described. Here’s to seeing the other side!

My first session was 300mg, and it felt like my body dissolved away but my consciousness was still distinct. Coming out was very similar to coming out of general anesthesia after surgery.
