    Ketamine Dramatically Improved My Life. Why Don't More People Use It?

    Here, Allure beauty editor Alaina Demopoulos goes into deep detail about her life-changing experience with ketamine therapy, and asks: Why is it so prohibitively expensive? Read it here on Allure.

    I sat on an ergonomic, heated massage chair that looked like it cost almost a year in student loans, stared at the cloud-printed wallpaper pasted all over the room, and wait for a nurse to give me a shot of ketamine. “You seem incredibly Zen today,” Jenna, a licensed psychotherapist and my trip sitter for the day, remarked.

    How could I not be? Up until that day, most of my drugs came courtesy of some dude who's saved in my phone as "Fluffy." But now, I was cozied up for a k-hole in Field Trip, a cutely-named startup where ketamine therapy costs $750 for a medical evaluation, an intake session, one therapy session, a ketamine day, plus a debriefing appointment.
