I hear ketamine is increasingly popular these days. Apparently users can be identified in clubs by their vacant expression and slack body posture - possibly a little too relaxed...

Yes - it does seem awfully dangerous. The audio clip on the link above has a doctor describing the effects from the result of a controlled experiment. Not really a social revolution I'd expect to catch on, but it is out there.

I once had to spend an evening with a load of people on ketamine, and they giggled at things, staggered a little bit, and kept forgetting what they were saying. It was pretty pathetic.

To be fair, people on any sort of drugs are pretty pathetic to see. I'm not quite sure why anyone would want to sacrifice their dignity for the sake of getting a 'buzz'.

I was once at a party where someone on Ketamine forgot he was at a party and went to the corner of the room, lowered his trousers and then dropped a turd in the living room. That was pretty ace, I have since spent my life aspiring to be that man.

Ringo - assuming we're talking 'recreational' drugs here, do you include alcohol in your statement? I've heard of drunk people behaving similarly to what the Doctor and the Ginner describe.

I think anybody who wants to escape from their own reality, even for an evening, is a bit of a coward. You should work to improve your reality rather than run away from it.

When I discovered that happiness and sadness also involve the release of drugs into the brain that alter mood, I started to work hard at maintaining a perpetual state of unstimulation with neither highs nor lows. So far it's working out sort of OK, I guess.

Pah. No-one picked up ben when he posted that "fucking women hard in the fanny" thing that he lifted directly from the pages of TV Go Home.

I considered following that post with "sorry about that - I was channeling ben", but I got called into a meeting to discuss a story I'd written about Nigerians who were too stupid to go to the doctor.

Actually my boss really liked it. She said "It's a wonderful human story - we can use that picture of that little Nigerian boy. Or girl. Whatever. It's one of them."

Once, when my arm fell off. Though I wasn't so much trying it as screaming for it. It was like getting pleasantly a bit drunk and then falling asleep. Not terribly special really.

They use it a lot for exploritory procedures where anasthetic (sic?) can't be used - horrible idea that you sit there awake, aware and in pain while some doctors dig around in you, and then you forget the whole thing.
