I get why some people would want or need a physician, but these drugs should be offered at cost in take home form too. We let people take opioids and amphetamines at home without supervision, and for most people that's fine.

I'm with you in spirit, but practically speaking it's an excellent idea to have a friend with experience to accompany you during your first session.

Even if your friend just sits there for four hours while reading a book, it's comforting to know that someone you trust is there to say "yes" when you start asking "is this really happening?" That can make the difference between a wonderful experience and an alarming one.

They do. Sublingual ketemine is about $3 a dosage with a prescription, but it is usually only offered after a series of IV or IM treatments.
