That headline made it sound like he was using it. Thankfully it was treatment for his depression and other issues.

It could be both.

The exact method of intake is unknown.

Bit suss you know more about this than they do...

I mean it says he was in infusion therapy. So that’s all we have to go off of

Would they be at high levels for treatment though?

Yes. Ketamine therapy involves putting you in a k-hole effectively. It's not something that you microdose.

It was probably still in his system

Incorrect. Half life is 3 hrs. His legit infusion therapy was 10 days before death. So... He had his own ketsmine hook up.
