      It is pretty high. According to Wikipedia, “Ketamine, generally, stimulates breathing; however, in the first 2–3 minutes of a high-dose rapid intravenous injection, it may cause a transient respiratory depression.” According to TripSitter, “The LD50 … [is] over 100 times higher than what’s considered a heavy dose of ketamine.” (Extrapolated from rodent LD50).

        Keep in mind the meaning of LD50, it’s only what causes the deaths of half a group of unaccustomed victims. He might need more, he might need less with whatever the rest of his drug cocktail of choice is.
