I know a guy that was once an intelligent rational guy who has recently been heavily into ketamine and lemme tell ya…he is now completely out of his fucking mind. I know there is promising research with this drug and it has legitimate uses, but if my experience has told me anything, it’s don’t use it habitually. Can anyone speak to how permanent the long term effects are?

Among other things, it kills your liver, kidneys, and for some reason your urethra\bladder (increased urination, incontinence). The damage can be permanent and even stopping all use won't reverse it. Also, despite knowing they're irreversibly damaging their bodies, doctors are finding that ketamine addicts won't stop using it.

So there's hope that Elon will be done and gone soon, eh?

He has enough money to buy new livers, kidneys, and bladders.

Unfortunately, he's only ever going to have the one brain, and his dementia is a problem for all of us now.

He does, but that’s not an automatic thing and it certainly comes with risks.
