Re: British Man Dies from Ketamine Overdose in Kampot, Cambodia
It's unlikely to be a "bad batch", it's a commonly used pharmaceutical anesthetic and is very difficult to overdose on. The dose a hospital patient would get intravenously for an operation is far more than it would be possible to take recreationally without the user knocking themselves out. As others have mentioned it's different if used in combination with other drugs or alcohol, and the person might just have an adverse reaction to it in rare cases. This particular guy seems to have been taking excessive amounts.kiwiincambodia wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 4:18 pm That’s the second K related death in the last few days. What’s going on? Bad batch running around or just becoming more mainstream?
I think the most dangerous thing about it is that it messes up people's balance, and also anesthetizes them so they can easily do stupid shit and have accidents or injure themselves without feeling much pain. It seems to have an effect of encouraging people to climb high structures too. Snorting it was very popular in the mid 90s. I was at a festival in the south of France one time and loads of people were taking it, and in the morning there were loads of people stuck up high trees. I knew a guy who took loads at a London party and then fell off a roof and died.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Has dissociative properties. That guy was probably just watching himself jump out of the building and die.

A Go Fund Me page was set up on 28 August to pay the costs of the hospital and the funeral bills in Cambodia, and also to send the ashes back to Ben's parents in the UK.
