K-HOLE is not like K-POP, for K-hole there's nothing to do with Korea. Let's get to know K-hole.

LET'S TALK ABOUT HOLE (PART 2 K-HOLE)

 

|K-HOLE

when you take too much ketamine and you end up feeling like you dont know who you are, where you are and why you do these things. (Urban Dictionary)

"I was in K-HOLE alone in La Demence! I forgot who I am and why am I here." I said
"You're terrible, Muriel!" My grandmother Emmanuel replied.

 

Hi! This is Dr.Deyn, the founder of PULSE CLINIC "Happy Healthy Horny", "Sexual Health Matters", "Here to help, not to judge". I'm in Paris, France. It's winter here with 6 degree celcius but my mind is on fire.
Friends in Paris call me Ms.K or Mr.K. Ketamine is not the most famous thing in Paris but in Sydney it is like a religion of party gay men. The only goal of the night (well, beside getting laid) is K-HOLE. This article is inspired by anonymous person I would call him Jeff who told me that last night he had the best K-hole ever.

The recreational use of ketamine hydrochloride, a dissociative anesthetic, has surged in popularity, making its way from medical settings to the streets. Originally, ketamine was exclusively employed in operating theaters to induce anesthesia. However, more recently, it has been utilized for alleviating severe pain beyond the confines of the operating room. The FDA has recently granted approval for Esketamine, a ketamine analog, for the treatment of depression.

Other names for Ketamine

On the street, ketamine is also referred to as Kit-Kat, Keta, Special K, or Vitamin K.
My friend Peter calls it Katy or Katy Perry LOL.

What is K-hole?

A K-hole gives most users an “out-of-body” experience. Users have reported a “floaty” sensation where they feel as if they are being teleported to outer space. Others have described the feeling as “melting out” or losing sense of yourself.

A K-Hole is a slang term used to describe a state of existence in which a person is in a state of body-mind dissociation. A k-hole is a dissociated, trance-like state that sometimes follows acute, excessive use of ketamine occurs most often in recreational settings (nightclubs or house parties). The term became widespread among recreational users of ketamine to describe a state of extreme dissociation. It is also described as an out-of-body or near-death experience, often accompanied by vivid hallucinations, depersonalization, temporary memory loss, and even catatonic schizophrenia.

A high dose of ketamine renders the user unable to move their body or interact with their environment. In other words, the person is physically present but on a mental trip. In other words, a user loses their ability to speak or interact with the world around them.

When a recreational ketamine user consumes a higher-than-normal dose, they can fall into a state where they’re unable to navigate their surroundings. This, effectively, may make them feel trapped inside a ketamine-induced hole.

What are the signs of K-hole?

Trouble speaking, walking, or maintaining balance.
It can feel like “falling in a hole”.
The experience is temporary, lasting roughly 30 minutes in duration depending on the context and the dosage.

• Slurred speech
• Dizziness
• Heightened blood pressure
• Increased salivation
• Extremely rapid heart rate
• Rapid eye movements
• Vomiting
• Seizures

Can K-hole happen with a therapeutic dose?

K-holes are unlikely to occur when following therapeutic protocols Mindbloom medication is prescribed, dosed, and administered through a licensed psychiatric clinician.  It is less likely when the ketamine comes from a regulated and trusted pharmaceutical source.

In large doses, ketamine’s dissociative effects can become too much to handle. This may lead to reducing one’s ability to find orientation or keep any sense of control.

K-Hole and Ego Death

Most people who have tried K-holing have reported experiencing a state of ego death or total egolessness. In this state, they completely lose their self-identity. One study probed the effects on the brain that contribute to ego death. The researchers found that at high doses of ketamine, the brain activity depicted an alternating EEG rhythm linked to the dissociative phase, where most users report vivid hallucinations. At a higher amount, the EEG activity altogether ceased, and this persisted for several minutes. Some researchers believe that this is when ego death occurs, and the individual has a near-death experience.

How Much Ketamine Does it Take to Cause a K-Hole??

There isn’t a precise dosage-to-effect chart because the effects of ketamine can vary significantly depending on a number of factors. These factors include the individual’s size, tolerance, overall health, and other variables.

When snorting ketamine, a person would be likely to k-hole on 150 to 200 mg.

It’s often said that a person gets to a K-hole on a “large” dose of ketamine. In fact, a K-hole is the result of an in-between dose: not heavy enough for a doctor to do surgery, not light enough that you can still go to a party and DJ.

That being said, here’s a generalized approximation of ketamine effects on different dosage of intramuscular injection:

How To Get To a K-Hole Safely?

• Comfort. Be in a calm place where you feel safe, like a clinic with a supportive staff.
• Music. Trust your clinician to curate a playlist for a K-hole.
• Darkness. Wear eye shades.
• Let go. Allow yourself to “turn off your mind, relax and float downstream,” as The Beatles said. Dropping into a K-hole can feel like dying. As The Beatles said: “This is not dying.” Let yourself dissolve.

How Long Does a K-Hole Last?

The duration of a “K-hole” experience can vary based on several factors such as the dose taken, the method of administration, individual metabolism, and tolerance. Typically, the most intense effects of a “K-hole” experience are felt within the first 30 minutes to an hour after taking a high dose of ketamine. These effects can include profound disassociation, hallucinations, and alterations in the perception of time and space.

However, even after this initial period, the individual may continue to experience less intense but still significant effects, such as confusion, disorientation, or altered sensory perception, for an additional hour or more.

The effects of ketamine should be set in a few minutes after you consume it. However, this is also determined by how you consume it. While medicinal users are likely to receive the ketamine intravenously, most recreational users snort it. Ketamine can also be taken orally, but this will delay the onset of action.

This is approximately how long ketamine effects take to set in:

• Intravenously – half a minute
• Snorted – 5 to 10 minutes
• Orally – at least 20 minutes

Is it Possible to Shorten the Length of a K-Hole?

Ketamine is metabolized by the body and eventually excreted. There isn’t a reliable way to speed up this process and shorten the duration of a K-hole. The body needs time to metabolize and eliminate the drug. Consuming other substances in an attempt to counteract the effects of ketamine or speed up its metabolism is risky and can potentially lead to harmful drug interactions or increase the risk of overdose.

It’s important to remember that a K-hole can be a very distressing and disorientating experience. The safest course of action if someone is in this state is to ensure that they are in a safe environment and to seek medical attention if they appear to be in distress or if their physical health appears to be at risk.

Finally, it’s important to remember that ketamine is a potent drug that should be used only as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Recreational use carries significant risks, including the potential for addiction and serious health effects. Please seek professional help if you or someone you know is struggling with substance use.

Can The K-Hole Experience Be Used Therapeutically??

At large doses, “ketamine stimulates a wide array of chemically-induced neuronal activity, which reduces our ability to orient ourselves, to navigate, and have any sense of control. 

While this can be terrifying if experienced at a discotheque, it might have value under the right set and setting. 

The experience of taking ketamine at a clinic can be vastly different to the one that recreational users experience. In quality ketamine clinics, patients are accompanied by a therapist throughout the entire process. They later integrate their ketamine experiences into positive knowledge for their personal wellbeing.

K-HOLE experience can help patients make sense of the ketamine experience by building an understanding of how this disruption in their ‘ordinary fixed mindset’ can give way to an open, expansive, less constrained sense of self.

Some researchers believe that a K-Hole inducing dose of ketamine can help break these patterns. This can account for several mental ailments, such as:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Substance addiction
