He's a ketamine addict, so that's probably affecting his cognitive facilities to a degree.

What are the clinical manifestations of Ketamine addiction? I'm asking honestly, because I don't know, and I wonder if he ticks the boxes.

Physical Effects

Damage to the urinary tract – Ketamine abuse can cause inflammation, scarring, and ulcers in the bladder, urethra, and kidneys. This can lead to difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and even kidney failure.

Respiratory problems – Chronic use of ketamine can result in respiratory depression and damage to the lungs.

Heart complications – Ketamine can increase heart rate and blood pressure, which can strain the cardiovascular system and lead to heart problems.

Musculoskeletal issues – Prolonged use of ketamine can cause muscle stiffness, weakness, and even paralysis.

Mental Effects

Cognitive impairment – Long-term abuse of ketamine can impair cognitive function, including memory loss, decreased attention span, and difficulty with problem-solving.

Mood disorders – Ketamine abuse has been linked to the development of mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis.

Addiction – Like many other drugs, ketamine can be highly addictive and can lead to psychological dependence. Chronic users may struggle with cravings and withdrawal symptoms when attempting to quit.

Thanks! Wonder if Elon gets on Twitter to kill the time while he's straining to piss

I bet on "difficulty with problem solving" + paranoia considered how stupidly he's running the whole stuation.

Short-term side effects of ketamine use may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, feeling strange or “loopy,” difficulty speaking, numbness, blurred vision, or nausea. Ketamine may also cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate.11

Studies show that unsupervised ketamine use may have serious health risks.1 These include respiratory depression, which is dangerously slow and shallow breathing. A NIDA-funded study found that problems related to ketamine use reported to poison control centers increased 81% from 2019-2021. The use of other drugs along with ketamine, especially opioids or GHB, another club drug, led to the most health problems, some of them life-threatening.12

Long-term, heavy ketamine use is associated with memory problems, depression, and anxiety.13 At high doses, ketamine may cause psychosis, a mental illness that causes a person to lose touch with reality. Frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to delusions that can last to up to one month after a person stops using it.14

Long-term use of ketamine may cause gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain sometimes called k-cramps5. Ketamine use can also cause ketamine-induced uropathy, a treatable but potentially serious condition that causes symptoms like those of a urinary tract infection.15,16
