I think it definitely has therapeutic potential. Dissociating from your regular self and getting some emotional distance helps you examine your problems under a different perspective, something desperately needed during depression. It might even be more promising than psychedelics in that regard. It also has pretty high abuse potential, though, so there’s that. There seems to be a specific kind of person that’s more vulnerable to ketamine as a substance of abuse too.
Every druggo has their preference. Nervous people tend to like benzos, for example.
For feeling like you’re running away from problems, few things are as effective and perverse as an opiate addiction, with ketamine coming as a far 2nd for those who don’t go that far.
