it's a schedule 3 drug, so a misdemeanor. i don't think you'd get any jail time if you got caught (assuming you're a first time offender in CA). if you're that desperate and you've read up on it and consider it a viable escape from that hell i know too well, give it a shot. (i have not used it).

shame i had to make a new account to speak freely about this.

No..in fact hell no.

Ketamine is schedule 1 or 2 I believe everywhere in the US, so that is definitely a felony.

It's Schedule III: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketamine#Legal_status

"Ketamine is a "core" medicine in the World Health Organization's Essential Drugs List, a list of minimum medical needs for a basic healthcare system."

"...flunitrazepam, ketamine, or any other Schedule I or Schedule II CDS is a Class 6 felony."

Well, that's wrong.

"Schedule III drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Schedule III drugs abuse potential is less than Schedule I and Schedule II drugs but more than Schedule IV. Some examples of Schedule III drugs are:

Products containing less than 90 milligrams of codeine per dosage unit (Tylenol with codeine), ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone"

Ok fair enough and a great link...but here is the twist to this.

That page describes Xanax as a schedule 4, and yet I have been charged not once but twice with felony possession of Alprazolam and was adjudicated guilty both times, so perhaps we are both correct in this case, and that yes its a schedule 3 but its also a felony.

The GP link is specific to Colorado.

The darknet is very straightforward to use and almost riskless for a small time buyer

You probably already saw it on the front page, but I just thought that was an interesting coincidence.
