What made your experience so traumatic?

This is a very safe way to communicate if you need to ensure that what you're saying is correct. I've always done this at work as well when communicating to a large group and/or chief level management.

One experience does not the norm make. I'm sorry you and your father have to deal with that pain. However, it literally says nothing about ketamine and its medicinal potential.

I'm a recreational user, and let's just say that my experience is wildly different from what OP and you have seen.

Most likely a bit of both, but looking at actual research, there is direct evidence for the instant gratification theory and none that I have seen for your argument. It does make sense as well though, it's probably one of the common thoughts behind people's choice to play the lottery. Instant gratification is generally a 'background process' people often aren't really aware of.
