She's trippin'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial Ketamine therapy. (snip) The expenses were marked as "leadership training and consulting." It is unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign did not respond to requests for comment. (snip) "While she describes these expenditures as 'leadership training,' Dr. Boyle has no experience in that area, unlike several Democratic consultants," Kamenar added. "This looks like yet another example of misuse of campaign contributions."

She can put a lot of K in her constituent's water tanks with a 19k spend. Of course they vote as if they already are high.

FTA: While AOC and others hailed the potential of drugs like ketamine as a miracle cure for illnesses like PTSD and depression, doctors have warned it’s still a powerful hallucinogenic that carries a risk of inducing psychosis in some people.
I guess the people saying for years that “liberalism is a mental disorder“ may be right, after all. It isn’t so farfetched to think drug use may be behind the craziness espoused by a large number of people in the public eye who seem to have abandoned the slightest semblance of common sense in the ideas they are pushing.

AOC already had her undergraduate classes in Kleptomaniac, now she's working on her PhD, Piled Higher and Deeper Klepto Degree!

Sounds like illegal conversion of campaign funds to personal use. As in misappropriation. Embezzelment. Theft. Felony.

My son was overdosed on ketamine during surgery a few years ago. They gave him way too much. He said he saw his dad but his dad said it was time yet for him to go. He had a few rough months from the actual surgery and the ketamine was no help. That's wicked stuff. I can't imagine anyone taking it on purpose.

19 thousand dollars for dangerous drugs she could get on the street for dirt cheap. She is still a druggy barmaid, she just has campaign money to pay for it now.

So the use of powerful anesthetics is now a tool for leadership training, who knew?

As a member of Congress, AOC has the best medical insurance our tax dollars can buy. Why does she need to misuse campaign cash for a psychiatrist, when she can use her congressional supplied health insurance? Could it be she is buying Ketamine for Ketamine sake, from an outside source, so as not to draw attention? I'm sure nobody will look into it.

Often combined with benzodiazepines or alpha‑2 agonists
Provides immobilization and analgesia
Pain Management
Acute pain (trauma, surgery)
Chronic or neuropathic pain
Opioid‑sparing effects
Behavioral / Adjunct Uses
Severe anxiety or stress (limited, case‑specific use)
Palliative care in refractory pain cases
Clinical Characteristics

She looks like a horse so give her horse medication. Seems logical to me. As one commenter said though, she has the best medical insurance anyone could ask for so why go to this quack doctor? A reputable doctor wouldn't prescribe or administer anything like this on a human being.

So the one-time Tip-Stealing Barmaid is now a
Campaign-Fund Stealing Congresscritter.
Loud, obnoxious Leftist (so of course the Lamestreams love her)
Doper, Thief, Embezzler, Liar.
Imaging the Condemnation she would face, every day, IF she were a Conservative!

I like #7 suggestion. Now that there is no tax on tips she would not have to steal so much from her fellow barmaids. Drug use explains a lot about her behavior.

Money and spending she never had as a barmaid, even by stealing tips. What a loudmouth low-breed she is.

AOC wants to use campaign funds to support her drug habit and mislabel it as “ leadership training and consulting” expenses to hide the fact. I wonder how the people that contributed to her campaign feel about that.
