When you get ketamine from a doctor, it is in metered in sub-psychedelic and sub-anesthetic doses.

When you get ketamine from the internet, you're getting a mystery powder that is, at best, a potent form of an addictive drug in quantities that are not metered and are ripe for abuse. At worst, you're getting some form of fentanyl because internet drug dealers are inept.

You have a lot of opinionated adjectives in that second sentence that aren't related to the chemical, which is the same one as in the first sentence.

> a potent form of an addictive drug

It's literally the same chemical; you didn't use those adjectives when you described it earlier.

> quantities that are not metered

That's not a ketamine problem; it's a prohibition problem.

My friend had one like this. It was barely accurate enough for all the funny RCs we had.

I would talk the same way about treating ADHD with Desoxyn prescribed by a doctor versus buying a pile of methamphetamine online to self-medicate with.

If you're going to make bad choices, volumetric dosing is one of the less bad choices.

It's a regulation problem. The supplement market is full of bunk or outright fake products. It took the FDA to reel actual medicine in.
