Definitely on the high side, but I'm guessing they mean "chronic abusers" rather than just "user". The serious ketamine addicts I knew when I was younger took the drug every single day, and multiple times during the day. I think that figure seems right, since a single large line can be north of 200mg.

I know: it's insane that someone would do that much ever, let alone every day, but I assure you that it happens.

It's a critical distinction to make. With everything we put in our body it is often 'the dose makes the poison'. The way the article is now, it's something skin to propaganda saying that beef causes death because there are some 600kg McDonalds addicts having heart attacks

Tolerance buildup is such an economic pain in the ass innit? Abuse vs use I guess. I know a lot of people who do ket but very few who do lines of it.

I haven't had good experiences with being a tranquil horse but I used to smoke a lot of weed when I was younger, I still smoke but much less and it's crazy how non linear it is, I subjectively feel like I'm probably 1/3 as high on average as I was five years ago but I spend maybe 20x less on weed.
