No, they won't, because the only form available is the IV form. There are no ketamine pills or tablets. Some doctors will prescribe ketamine nasal spray or lozenges to be made by a compounding pharmacy, but the vast percentage of doctors who are willing to administer ketamine in their offices are not at all willing to prescribe a take home dose, and if they are, it's in a very different form with different effects than the IV session. I get regular IV sessions and have compounded lozenges that I take daily, and in my experience neither the nasal spray (which I hated) nor the lozenges are anything like the infusion, and it was extraordinarily difficult to find a doctor in the Boston area that would write any kind of take home prescription. No clinic anywhere is going to give you a bottle of ketamine and some syringes, and neither is CVS.


That's what I meant by maintenance dose . A nasal spray or lozenge. The maintenance doses are great for the vast majority but if you feel that they don't do it for you and able to get a nasal formulation you can do your own IM injection which I know a few people personally that do it once a month


You got addicted to Tylenol? Could you be more specific? Do you just mean that it stopped working for you? Because if you mean you truly developed a compulsive desire to take APAP, you must be the first person in the world ever to have done so.


It is possible to be addicted to anything and it is quite easy with any painkillers, it doesn't have to opioid based one. Subconscious fear of pain is enough to take them in advance, just in case, every day.


No no, not in advance, but when I could claw my eyes out because of the pain - the problem was that slowly, year after year it worked less and less.


APAP metabolizes to AM404 in vivo, which acts indirectly on the cannabinoid receptor type 1. AM404 is likely responsible for a large amount of the pain relief (and, unsurprisingly, an anticonvulsant effect).

I suspect it's tolerance and not addiction, but docs see this and code it as "medication overuse headache" all the time.


Saridon but all the same I guess. Not my wording though, but the doctor's.


No one would ever use that terminology in practice/conversation.


You’ve never met any pharmacists then?


According to the current Cuban Assets Control Regulations, it is still, in most cases and circumstances, against the law for Americans to spend money in Cuba without a special license issued by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).


Pursuant to Gonzales v. Raich, which ruled that Congress could criminalize the production and use of homegrown marijuana for personal use, the interstate effect of gambling in any form on any activity is almost certainly sufficient for Congress to regulate or prohibit any or all gambling activity.

In addition, the Ninth Circuit has held that Congress has Commerce Clause authority to criminalize possession of homemade machine guns.

Congress has chosen to allow states to regulate gambling to a certain extent, which explains its legality in various forms in the various states.


Why would you never pay money for this? Do you mean this is a poor product in some way or simply that you would never pay money for software, either for ideological or financial reasons or both?


Learning org-mode plus enough emacs to use it is vastly more difficult than learning OneNote, and the macOS and iOS versions of OneNote are also quite good (it's not at all Windows-only). You may also export to various other formats and it's not text only; sometimes notes aren't only text but include images or handwriting (which can be OCRed and searched).


This is a native macOS and iOS app?


As for now it runs in the browser (Sass version would be my demo: https://nuage.kerjean.me/ but you can host it anywhere else (even AWS Lammbda)). I never though about making it native to macOS, Linux or Windows as emacs is already available on those platform and pretty much superior but it can be done with electron.


Any hotel nicer than your average Sheraton (Weston, W Hotels, etc.) will not have free Wi-Fi. Sheratons might not even have free Wi-Fi. Where you have been staying seem like they'd be classified as "motels" (like a Best Western Express or whatever) not actual "hotels".


I tend to stay in the nicer class of hotels, and I can't remember the last time I paid for WiFi (though there often is a paid tier available with ostensibly better throughput, and sometimes there are restrictions on # of devices or such).


I think what you say is possibly true, but like other posters here I do not recall paying for wifi in recent years and I also stay at many different hotels. I have seen services where you can pay for better throughput or for a public IP. I wonder if perhaps I and the other posters are not being charged for wifi due to "status". That is, we have been flagged by the hotel chains as valuable customers and free wifi is a perk of that status. E.e. "platinum" status or similar.


Prove it.

I've been staying at places like Holiday Inn, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Country Inn & Suites, Courtyard, etc., which area all most certainly "hotels" and all of them have free Wifi.


Unfortunately no matter how many times you say this or how much you wish it were true, US (at least) courts have disagreed with you by enforcing contracts of adhesion.


I think we're in agreement, we're just saying things slightly differently. I believe human rights exist and are an ethical imperative whether or not lawmakers/courts choose to protect human rights.

Or put another way, the law should be (but often isn't) informed by human rights--human rights aren't informed by the law.
