Comment on The Ketamine Chronicles, April 2019parent

Comments

The author's active on instagram (linked from their medium profile), and has more recent writing there. From that, it sounds like they don't feel as if they've regressed.

For example, on Nov 27th, they wrote '[this year] I successfully treated depression with Ketamine'.

It's possible that they're not talking candidly on the shorter-form of an instagram post, but it's at least a sign that maybe it stuck, otherwise that phrasing would probably be a bit less positive.

Possible. However it is also possible that saying that would lead to less clicks on his instagram's donate link.

IMO there's a decent probability that's the reason... The treatments cost an arm, a leg, and one kidney.

Only via the licensed path. The amount of ketamine his blog post talks about him receiving actually costs less than $100.

Assuming he wasn't being dishonest in the discussion of his current financial state, this angle seems off the mark.

The entire first section of the article is about how good the author was at pretending to be happy. Since projecting a happy image is also the main point of Instagram for most people, I'd be hesitant to assume everything is fine based on a few posts.
