It’s Musk’s drug of choice

    Last year, Musk told CNN’s Don Lemon that he has a ketamine prescription and uses the drug roughly every other week to help with depression symptoms. When Lemon asked if Musk ever abused ketamine, Musk replied, “I don’t think so. If you use too much ketamine you can’t really get work done,” then said that investors in his companies should want him to keep up his drug regimen.

    I’m not completely sure what the criteria is for “abusing” ketamine, but since Musk seems to know what happens when you use too much ketamine, it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point.

      it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point.

      He’s admitted to abusing drugs multiple times in the past, in ways that are very well known to be unbelievably stupid combos, like Ambien and alcohol.

      Even if someone wants to be completely charitable, and I’m not inclined to do so, there exists a possibility that his dose is too high. How would he know? It could, therefore, produce the same effects as overuse/abuse.

      It’s a little far-fetched to be that charitable, however, and I think it’s more likely he just abuses and tries to hide it. He has billions of dollars and exists in a separate tier of law. Getting a supply of ketamine is probably trivially easy.

        He has hundreds of billions of dollars. He bought our fucking government for like 1% of his wealth.

        Musk got his dealer a government job in DOGE:

        At least 10 DOGE staffers identified by The Post are engineers. Among them is Alexandra Beynon, 36, according to Education Department records seen by The Post and an official with knowledge of the matter. Beynon previously was head of engineering at Mindbloom, a company started by her husband, Dylan Beynon, that “offers guided at-home ketamine therapy to transform your mental health.”

      Thinking investors would want him to keep using is addict justification logic.

      I hate musk hard but I mean you could learn what happens when you abuse ketamine with a quick Google search and not even have touched a drug in your life.

        The effect that Musk mentioned was, “you can’t really get work done,” which feels less like “Google search” and more like “personal experience.” And I said that “it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point,” which feels like the right sort of certainty for this sort of conclusion from that evidence.

        I wasn’t surprised when reading the rest of the comments in this comment section that somebody mentioned that he’s been known to use ketamine recreationally.

          The words people use to describe falling into a K-hole—the psychedelic trip experienced on high doses of ketamine—read like opposites. Paralyzing. Introspective. Detached. Peaceful. Frightening. Euphoric. Transformative. Near-death.

          Seems like you wouldn’t really be able to work thru this but I see your point there no way anyone could interpret that without experience.🙄

      Doing more than micro doses for PTSD with your doctor, I presume?
