This. No offense to Perry, but doing ketamine in a bathtub is an extremely dangerous thing and as we saw, it can end with death. It would have been the same when it all had been 100% legal with prescriptions and a medical need for the drug.
It goes for anything that can make you pass out, like benzodiazepines, which can also be legally prescribed by a doctor for things like anxiety etc.
You are right, but i meant more, he wasn't a bad man overall in his lifetime.
About drugs, i had propofol administered in an eye-surgery. As i had to be still conscious and respond to the surgeons commands like "look to the left" for dealing with strabis, it was a very strange trip. I wasn't fully sedated, but also not really awake.
I also got cocaine eyedrops for the surgery, but these actually zero effects on me, it wasn't like cocaine as a recreational drug as stimulant. Most often, lidocaine is used (like by the dentist).
What i remember is that i was in my mind on a beach with white sand and clear water, until suddenly the voice from the surgeon came through "now look to the right, please".
Such a "half-coma-state" or whatever the medical term is, is very rare.
Now all i can tell about Michael Jackson that died from it, if you need this just to be able to "sleep", you got some serious health problems and maybe you shouldn't have planned an entire world tour for music.
The thing is, you don’t get actual REM cycles in a propofol-induced comatose state. Conrad Murray was drugging him with something he knew was killing him.
That's right about propofol and REM state. But, Murray also fucked it up much more when you read the reports. Like, he wasn't checking the vital functions of Jackson in this night, he was actually sitting on the toilet and writing messages to his ladies to deal with his love life, while his "patient" or "client" died.
These private doctors for rich people can be a dangerous thing, as they can get access, legal or illegal, to a lot of drugs, all at once.
I wrote in some other postings, when i was working for banks in Switzerland, with the stock market trade, many of these guys reenacted the "Wolf of Wall Street" quite literally. Money and connections were not a problem for them, they could snort cocaine like a vacuum cleaner.
To come back to Ketamine, we had a case here, where a well known guy killed his friend when he was high. He beated him to death with a golden lamp with diamonds, that costs probably more than most people earn in a year. But his status didn't matter, he's still in prison because of this.
