What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic, chemically 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)-cyclohexanone. Legitimately used by veterinarians, ketamine is sometimes stolen from animal hospitals and veterinary clinics. DEA reporting also indicates that some of the ketamine available in the U.S. has been diverted from pharmacies in Mexico. Being a dissociative anesthetic places it in the same class as PCP and nitrous oxide. It is used mainly in veterinary sciences, available as 100mg/ml injectable under the trade name Vetalar (Parke-Davis) and Ketaset (Bristol). In the seventies it began to be used as an illicit drug. The separation from consciousness is the more attractive aspect of this drug. Its popularity has grown tenfold since the rise of the rave scene.


Why do people use Ketamine recreationally?

Snorting the powdered form of ketamine increases the effects of the drug a significant amount (compared with smoking). To increase the effects even more you may inject it in its liquid form. The injection is almost always in the muscle tissue; directly through the vein produces an instant "K-Hole". A "k-hole" is when your hold on consciousness begins to deteriorate. You may begin to experience a near death feeling. In many
cases, this separation results in profound hallucinations and
the sensation of entering another reality. Continuing with more large dosages may begin to permanently perforate the fabric of one's consciousness. In human use, a benzodiazapine like Versed is generally used along with ketamine to induce amnesia concerning the "emergence
reactions".Edited by: billbong
