Elon is doing ketamine? I think I'm missing context.

Absolutely. He has publically endorsed doing ketamine as a method of managing depression. Elon is doing ketamine, and I think he's doing lots, from all appearances.

> Elon is doing ketamine

How do you know what he’s doing? Even if he’s said something positive about it and/or used it in the past doesn’t mean anything. I have positive things to say about psilocybin but haven’t done it in 20 years.

I'm not privy to the news on this particular fact, but the fact is that Ketamine IS used medically as an anti-depressant now, just at far below the dosage range to get "high".

So if he's just endorsing its usage in a clinical context, that is way different than railing lines.

havent heard this one? hes publicly stated that adderall "makes people assholes" before so would seem out of character

I went back to find a source and could not. I think I may have confused him with some other billionaire.

i believe it was on a spaces call, but yeah i could be hallucinating it too. Doubt itll be easy to find if it even is true

That's why you balance it out with some ganja

> Musk takes ketamine in small doses to treat depression and uses higher doses of the drug at social events

According to a WSJ report. Which may be true. But where’s the evidence? Why not stick to provable facts instead of this type of tabloid content? This is Reddit-level discourse.

The Wall Street Journal is a tabloid?

Lately, it’s right up there with the mags at the grocery store that tell me that I just won’t believe what X did.

yes, hes mentioned it before as a depression aid and recreationally at parties. Also previously mentioned Ambien and a little wine being "magic" and magic mushrooms supposedly. Everyone got their demons, take from it what you will.
