Taking ketamine in a sensory deprivation tank really doesn't sound like a sensible idea to me.

You're probably aware of John C. Lilly, if not worth reading some of his work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Lilly#Exploration_of_h...

I wasn't! So he's the guy that developed the sensory deprivation tank, and then started using them to take psychedelics in. Thanks for mentioning it, I never realised there was a link.

The article reads more like the death of a lying, scheming drug addict.

Most of the few biohackers I've come across are mentally ill or otherwise reckless and dangerous. I hate being against open knowledge-building, but a world where real viruses are build, modified and transmitted in a similar way to computer viruses is a world I don't want to live in.
