K-hole
Anesthetic mental void
A K-hole is a dissociative state induced by high doses of ketamine, characterized by intense detachment from the body and surroundings, hallucinations, and difficulty moving or speaking.
Users describe it as falling into a void or losing connection with physical reality: I took too much and fell into a K-hole for an hour.
The experience can be terrifying or transcendent depending on the user.
