Ketamine

Ketamine is a tranquilizer that has been used on animals and humans in hospitals since 1970. Ninety percent of the Ketamine legally sold is used on animals.1 Street names for Ketamine include K, Special K, Vitamin K, and Cat Valium. It comes in a liquid or white powder.2 The liquid form can be injected, mixed into drinks, or added to smokable materials such as tobacco and marijuana. The powder form can also be mixed into drinks as well as snorted or smoked.3

Ketamine causes hallucinations or dreamlike states similar to LSD.3 At high doses, Ketamine can cause a woman to become delirious, lose her memory, and become depressed. It also can impair motor function such as walking and cause death by making a person stop breathing.1
