Erowid's dosage documentation for insufflated ketamine<ref | |||
name="erowid-ketamine-dose">Erowid. Ketamine Dosage. Erowid.org. | |||
https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ketamine/ketamine_dose.shtml. | |||
Accessed 2026-05-26.</ref> reports the following tiers: | |||
* '''Threshold:''' 10-15 mg | |||
* '''Light:''' 15-30 mg | |||
* '''Common:''' 30-75 mg | |||
* '''Strong:''' 60-125 mg | |||
* '''K-hole:''' 100-250 mg | |||
Onset 5 to 15 minutes; duration 45 to 60 minutes with aftereffects | |||
1 to 3 hours. The "K-hole" -- a state of profound dissociation and | |||
anesthesia-adjacent experience -- is a recognized category in ketamine | |||
harm-reduction literature, distinct from the "strong" tier in | |||
character as well as magnitude. | |||
