ketamine has a lot of potential for abuse, especially for those with severe depression. it is why it is only allowed to be administered in a clinical setting.

Ketamine has much lower potential for addiction than, say, alcohol or opiates.
I know you’re trying to be helpful, but please do realize everyone has a different sensitivity for addiction. Just suggesting OP should then get it elsewhere can become the opposite you’re trying to do
Yeah, and making comparisons to alcohol and opiates isn't exactly a high bar to begin with.
And gp is also not suggesting the original commenter go drinking or shoot up heroin either.
