What is Ketamine?

Ketamine was developed in the 1960s as an anesthetic for surgeries. It is closely related to PCP. Both are called "dissociatives," which means that they cause a splitting from reality. Ketamine is a legal prescription drug, used mostly in veterinary medicine.

Ketamine is found in a white powder or a liquid in small pharmaceutical bottles. It may be snorted, injected into a muscle, or taken by mouth. Ketamine is odorless and tasteless. It works super quickly, so if someone put it in your drink you would lose consciousness in less than a minute.
