The Trip Report Report

Lubb Dupp Studios

The history of psychoactive drugs and the people who use them. One substance at a time, hosts Kai Marsella and Max Mindel combine deep historical research with appropriately unhinged first-person trip reports – drawing on genre pioneers like Thomas De Quincey and anonymous Erowid posters alike. Strap in for a sonic journey, from ancient coca rituals in the Andes to the mysterious workings of the Earth Coincidence Control Office and beyond.

Made with love at Lubb Dupp Studios in Los Angeles, for entertainment purposes only.

    Ketamine Part 6: We Need to Talk About Ketamine

    We're finally giving into our targeted Instagram ads and taking our mental health into our own hands (with an internet nurse practitioner who shares a name with a certain former First Lady). It's 2025 and we're getting our Ketamine from a compounding pharmacy in Ohio and shipped through the goshdang US postal service. *Trigger Warning for discussions of suicidal ideation.

    Ketamine Part 5: The Trans Ketamine Love Affair

    Finally one for the dolls! JK all our episodes are for the dolls. Do trans people like Ketamine more than cis people? I don't know, but it sure seems like it sometimes when you hang out with a lot of trans people who like Ketamine! We read from Hannah Baer's excellent book Trans Girl Suicide Museum, and discuss some the factors that contribute to higher rates of drug use among the queer community. TW: for discussion of suicide, some graphic sexual content and brief mention of eating disorders.

    Ketamine Part 4: Ketamine's High Priestess

    We read at length from an early account of explorations with Ketamine from the self-proclaimed High Priestess of Ketamine herself: Marcia Moore. We talk about Marcia's life, and seminal therapeutic Ketamine text: Journey's Into the Bright World. This is a text heavy episode, but I think it's worth it for the canon. Featuring a cute John & Toni Lilly cameo later in the episode.

    Ketamine Part 3: Into the Lillyverse

    The John C. Lilly episode! We discuss John Lilly's love and abuse of dolphins, potential three letter agency affiliations, float tanks (he invented them!), and of course, Ketamine. We read at length from John's autobiography, The Scientist, and discuss his proclivity for taking massive amounts of Ketamine later in his life. RIP John Lilly you would have hated ChatGPT.

    Ketamine Part 2: 2 Ket 2 Mine

    In this one we discuss Ketamine's first use in a therapeutic setting and Salvador Roquet's sensory-overload psychedelic sessions in Mexico City. We talk about the first Yale study on Ketamine as a treatment for major depression, and the slew of studies and meta analysis that came next. Then we read two trip reports from people who have different goals for their Ketamine use. Trigger Warning: for brief discussions of suicidal ideation.
