Recently I read an article by the BBC on the drug trade of Ketamine and the expansion of the illegal trade which got me thinking what is this stuff and what are some of the negative implications for its drug abuse.
Above you can see some of the "Street Names" for Ketamine.
So, Ketamine is considered as a disassociate anesthetic and originally saw its application in field military hospitals or with use in animals. However, it is also considered to be a clubbing drug due to the pleasant sensations it can give as well as a date rape drug due to a detached feeling some can experience.
Some useful articles I found for more information include the following.
