WHAT IS KETAMINE
- Ketamine is a general anesthetic that is categorized as a hallucinogen
- It changes your perception of thinking, time, emotions, seeing, or hearing
- Ketamine was discovered by Dr. Cal Stevens of Wayne University in 1961
- Fun Fact: Ketamine is sold over-the-counter in Mexico and India as a pain-killer
Ketamine is considered a hallucinogen because it causes you to "trip"
In 1970 ketamine was determined safe for human consumption and then was used during the Vietnam war.

WHAT DOES IT DO TO YOU
- Ketamine makes you feel distant from the world
- Ketamine also makes it so you feel no pain
- It causes a "trip" that can last from 30 min to several hours
It makes you feel distant by blocking your neurotransmitter glutamate, which transmits your memory signals. It also can make you feel like you're unable to move.
This is why it is used as an anesthetic, but when it is used for medical reasons it is mixed with another drug so you don't hallucinate.
This "trip" causes hallucinations and changes the way you see and hear things.

THE RISKS
- Serious Bladder Problems
- Damage of the liver
- Damage to your veins
- Ketamine can cause abscesses and blood clots
- It can also cause insomnia
Ketamine goes into your urine and causes your bladder to be inflamed, it also takes off the lining of your bladder as if it had been burned. And when it tries to heal it just ends up scarring and shrinking itself.
Never share needles because that can spread hepatitis b and c and also HIV
Insomnia is the inability to sleep.
Some other problems are elevated blood pressure, seizure like muscle contractions, nausea, severe anxiety, and psychotic episodes.
