ketamine
Veterinary sedation drug
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic used in medicine and veterinary practice.
It induces a trance-like state while providing pain relief and sedation.
At lower doses, ketamine produces hallucinogenic effects, leading to widespread recreational use: We did some ketamine at the club.
Recently, ketamine has shown promise treating depression and PTSD.
Street names include K, special K, and vitamin K.
