Is Ketamine (Special K) really horse tranquiliser?
Ketamine is an anesthetic. It has primarily been used in animals but it is being used more often with humans. And it certain situations, Ketamine is the safest anesthetic to use. It causes some feelings of dissociation and can cause some hallucinations (not nearly as much as LSD or other psychedelics). Ketamine is being researched for pain control, as it appears to have the ability to “reset” pain levels. But most drugs used in clubs do or did have a medical application. Cocaine was the first local anesthetic (and it is still an anesthetic in certain situations), Methamphetamine is prescription a drug for ADHD and narcolepsy, Rohypnol is a commonly used sedative/hypnotic in many countries, Heroin is a legal drug by prescription for pain, GHB is used for narcolepsy. Some of those are legal in some countries and not others.
