What is “Special K”?
“Special K” is the street name for Ketamine. Ketamine is a fast acting anesthetic and painkiller used primarily in veterinary surgery. It is also used to a lesser extent in human medicine. Ketamine can produce vivid dreams or hallucinations, and make the user feel as though the mind is separated from the body. This effect is called “dissociation,” which is also the effect of the related drug PCP. When Ketamine is given to humans for medical reasons, it is often given in combinations with another drug that prevents hallucinations. For more information, click here.
