    Honestly, one of the worst things House did to the modern zeitgeist was to convince techbros that shoving ket up your nose 24/7 will make you smarter.

      Wasn’t it vicodin abuse? All I remember them saying about ketamine was House saying it was a lame drug for being heroin without the high.

        Yes, for the leg pain initially. Although, I thought for sure either he or one of his staff experimented with other drugs, including stimulants, for various reasons.

        I might just be confusing him with Sherlock Holmes, who was notorious for cocaine addiction.

          Well for one episode he did try some risky drug that eliminated his pain completely, but he ended up stopping the use because it was extremely dangerous.
