At that point wouldn't you just be over engineering with little gain and increased costs. My biggest worry would be cleaning and how handle the yeast cultures for forming dough, letting it rise, and all those intricacies.

I'm in the opposite boat, the dose I receive is fairly high and I'm unable to even stand for around 20 minutes after it ends. There's no way I can drive the day of. As for the events, the feeling of dissociation takes around a day to fade for me. I also have a high deal of cognitive impairment from it, or detachment in my thoughts?

During you can suffer from some intense anxiety and strong nausea, so they'll give stuff for that. After the only thing that I notice is that my emotions are put to 11 and I'll just be extremely uncoordinated and exhausted.

Yes it's at a clinic, and it's not a light dose. It does cause "K-Holes", it'll completely incapacitate you for the day of, and you'll be dizzy and sluggish the day after. So no you can't drive yourself home.

Body weight. I'm unsure at the moment/can't remember what their metrics are though.

I know it's anecdotal, but I've been receiving ketamine at a local clinic for a few years for chronic depression and a spinal injury. It has proven too be the most effective treatment I've had for treating depression. As another poster said, it is short lived (around two months) But the release from depression, and back pain is life changing for me.

To go with the article, it is incredibly fast acting. Like same day results, I don't know if it's placebo or the ketamine but I'm happy with it as it gave me life back.

Thank you for that story, always fascinating to read about the genesis of institutions and their early days.
