horse tranquilizer
Equine sedation drug
A horse tranquilizer is a sedative drug used in veterinary medicine to calm or anesthetize horses and other large animals.
The term often appears in contexts warning about recreational drug abuse, particularly ketamine: He overdosed on what dealers were calling horse tranquilizer.
The phrase emphasizes dangerous potency—a dose meant for a thousand-pound animal.
