Set and setting comes from Mindset and setting. Sounds like that person wasn't using K correctly (they were abusing it). I don't feel as if your anecdote applies to many others in a controlled setting.

You would be wrong about that, it was a licensed esketamine trial under strict medical supervision.

strict medical supervision is sometimes a terrifying experience. Set and setting matter but so does any drugs they are currently on. I would say that your experience is atypical.

As I understand it, the "K hole" was terrifying, the setting for taking this was a doctor's office that let you relax on a couch afterwards.
