    I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this type of Ketamine. I couldn't find much on the internet on it. If you have tried it how does it compare to other isomers of ketamine?

    Do you have any information on ketamine L-isomer, google shows up next to nothing. Are you sure you are not thinking of the S-Isomer? Apparently ketamine is a racemix of S (+) & R (-) where S-Isomer is aprox 2-3 times stronger than R (-).

    I don't know if the L-isomer is S or R. It is discouraged to use +/- or d/l anymore, so they use R or S. I know for a fact, though, that the S-isomer of Ketamine is the active one. However, like I said, I don't know if that is levo or dextro. It all depends on it's activity compared to a certain standard compound under chiral separation.

    But I am 90% sure you meant the S isomer, which is indeed the more active one!

    Well the person that is offering it claims it is L-Isomer. That is the problem I can't find any info on it.

    The reason you can't find information on it is because, for Ketamine, the way that the two chiral compounds of the racemic mixture are designated is NOT with the dextro/levo system, but with the more accurate and modern R and S system. My gut tells me, however, that IF the seller is BRAGGING about it being 'good', then he must be referring to the 'S' isomer, which all research shows IS the better isomer for recreational use.
