    Man, corps will do anything to make sure people are miserable even if it costs them more. Fucking wild.

    Four-day work weeks make people happier and more productive and will actually save money without even paying people less and they just refuse to take the nice way out.

      Dr Bronner’s is a pretty wild company with an actually pretty decent philanthropic history.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Bronner’s_Magic_Soaps?wprov=sfti1#History if any company was gonna be open to progressive labor practices i would not be surprised if they were on the list.

      Also if by ‘supplied by employer’ they mean ‘as a treatment option covered under their health plan’ then a lot of people’s healthcare is ‘supplied by their employer (or government)’.

      Don’t get me wrong Dr. Bronners is still just a business and doesn’t need anyone’s defending. But Ketamine Therapy has shown a lot of promise as an experimental treatment and isnt being handed out to Amazon employees to keep the suicide rates at the warehouse down, yet.

    You don’t take ketamine cause you don’t know how to get it.

    I don’t take ketamine cause I don’t want to piss blood.

    We are not the same.

      Fair enough. The statement in the middle is indeed made from the point of view of a fictional ketamine-consuming character only created for this particular meme.

    Ketamine is actually great for treatment resistant depression. Lotta ignorant people in the comments. Fuck the corpos and their nonsense to avoid treating workers with human decency, but ketamine prescribed correctly is actually quite effective.

      It can be quite expensive, but after 20 different antidepressants and antipsychotics, I’ve considered it. My latest medications were $1738/m and $1800/m respectively. That’s like $60 per pill that I need to take daily. I’m in a fortunate position with amazing health insurance that will cover it.

      Ketamine is $1200 every 3 months, includes therapy, and has cheaper daily nasal spray to maintain the treatment.

      Also, recreational Ketamine is different. There’s Ketamine (recreational) and S-Ketamine (therapeutic). It does absolutely give you psychedelic effects, but it wouldn’t be as fun of a thing to take in your spare time as Ketamine.

      Does it have to be dosed a certain way, because I’ve only ever tried it recreationally and it didn’t do anything for my depression. The euphoria wore off very quickly, and tolerance built rapidly. The whole experience lasted less than 20 minutes, IIRC, with no “afterglow” unlike with psychedelics and MDMA. Very short trip and then back to normal. Redosing was futile.

    You take ketamine because you are a horse about to undergo surgery.

    I don’t take ketamine because I’m not a pill popper.

    You go one the internet to belittle people with mental illness.

    I belittle little piss-ants like you who have no actual life experience.

    We are not the same.

    I’ve had ketamine before, a party would be the absolute last place I’d want to take it. The “comfy chair with a weighted blanket” is a much better setting. Stick to coke and mdma for parties.
