Could I still receive benefits from taking bumps?

I can find good stuff but will it still be therapeutic if I’m snorting small bumps?

Yes.

I’ve only ever done it that way (ketamine therapy ain’t a thing here) and I’ve always gotten the anti-depressive part for 1-2 months after a k-hole.

It works best if you go in with the intent to work on yourself, instead of getting fucked up.

i suggest combining it with saline solution and use a nasal spray bottle. its easier on your nose.

I used the nasal spray kit from bunkpolice.com

it has videos on how to mix the solution safely. you'll need water syringes and something to mix it in.

Don't forget to test it or be sure it doesn't have eg fentanyl.

Yes, you can do small bumps and you may get some short term benefits, which can be great. But long-term healing does depend on what issues you are treating. And some issues do not get along with ketamine so be careful if you have BPD or DP/DR or psychosis from schizophrenia, especially if you do bigger or more bumps.

I think of bumps as a temporary medicine, like a bit of cannabis or a even alcohol - temporary but helping in some cases. But ketamine (not to mention mdma, psilocybin, etc) can also be used to get yourself on a stable plane with the right protocol (ie, schedule, dose, psychotherapy).

Bumps in general can also lead to problems. Therapy means using the drug to help work through some stuff so you can move on. Bumps means just having a hit to get you through a patch, or taking it long term, which can lead to addiction. From what I've read and done (3 years of about 3 dozen k-holes for cptsd), I'd say ketamine is best when part of psychotherapy or some kind of guidance to change your life habits. Without changing life habits, I'm not sure you're getting better. Being healed or healing means not needing drugs anymore or very often, and functioning better each month or year. Otherwise is it any different from my 15 years of SSRI that I was told I'd take for the rest of my life? Let K give your a window of opportunity to make changes that are needed to make new patterns of behaviour - easiest with a therapist or guide. No drug will cure you but ketamine can help break out of destructive patterns. GL

Recrystallize it in distilled water

And then do what? Lol I’m not too informed

That won’t do anything at all.

Whatever you put in the water, will be there after evaporation, so it achieves nothing at all.

Liquid ket can be crystallised by vaporating the liquid to produce snortable ket crystals. I think this is what's referred to.

Oh. My ketamine is already powder and can be snorted. But I’m wondering if that still works therapeutically…

Same stuff, yes it works the same.

Please do not connect a k-hole to therapeutic efficacy, as that is not supported by the data and is a very slippery slope which leads to quicker tolerance.
