And I stand by what I said.

It's tough to find statistics but the article below says that between 1993 and 2006, 23 deaths were tied to ketamine use. That to me qualifies as safe and relatively non-addictive in the context of recreational drug use.

Oh yeah, and banning discussion of recreational drug use will do wonders for harm reduction, lol.

I don't see where you are getting "relatively non-addictive" from. I have had many positive experiences with Ketamine, but I will be the first to say that it takes a lot of self-control to not overdo it.

EDIT: To be clear, I am aware ketamine is not physically addictive. However I find it to be one of the most psychologically addictive drugs I have taken.

as in, you crave the feeling of being on it?

That's not a good criteria for safety at all (and the conclusion of non-addictiveness is totally unwarranted by the number of deaths). Lots of chemicals are damaging without killing you: lowering your IQ, organ damage, etc.

> 23 deaths were tied to ketamine use.

some future ketamine deaths are on you, 70forty

Quit being so melodramatic. 23 deaths in over a decade is a rounding error.
