Ketamine hydrochloride is an animal anesthetic that has a combination of stimulant, depressant, hallucinogenic, and pain-killing properties. Legally used as a veterinary anesthetic, ketamine is abused for these same properties and used as a date rape drug.
Common street names for ketamine are:
K, Special K, Ket, Kit Kat, vitamin K, purple, special la coke, ketaject,
cat valium, super acid, Super C, lady K, cat tranquilizers, breakfast cereal, Vitamin K, psychedelic heroin, Super K, Keller, Kelly’s Day, Green, Blind Squid.
Slang for experiences related to ketamine or effects of ketamine include, “k-hole,” “K-land,” “baby food,” and “God.”
Ketamine is manufactured commercially as a powder or liquid. Users sometimes evaporate liquid ketamine on hot plates, on warming trays, or in microwave ovens, a process that results in the formation of crystals, which are then ground into powder. Powdered ketamine is cut into lines known as bumps and snorted, or it is smoked—typically in marijuana or tobacco cigarettes. Liquid ketamine is injected or ingested after being mixed into drinks.
Friends and acquaintances most often distribute either the liquid or powdered form to your children at private parties or raves. A rave (or rave party) is an all-night dance event where DJs and other performers play rave music for dancers, with the accompaniment of colored lights, projected images, and laser effects.
Rave parties are often associated with the use of “club drugs” such as ecstasy, methamphetamine, speed and ketamine.
Ketamine produces a detached state in a user, ranging from paranoia to boredom. Perception is impaired due to Ketamine’s hallucinogenic effects, which can include near-death experiences or an out-of-body event. Since Ketamine is similar to PCP (Angel Dust), users can experience aggressive or violent behavior, a blank stare, loss of coordination and a sense of invulnerability.
Ketamine is an anesthetic which could lead the user to accidentally hurt himself while feeling no pain. One side-effect that is popular at raves, is Ketamine’s ability to intensify colors and sounds…the user feels sights, sounds and touches more intensely. They feel “bigger than life” and that’s addicting.
The Ketamine “high” usually lasts and hour, but can continue for 4-6 hours. The user may not feel completely normal for 24-48 hours. It may take several months to two years for the effects of chronic use to wear off completely. Besides the psychedelic effects of Ketamine use, which can flashback a year after abstaining, large doses can produce convulsions that may lead to oxygen starvation to the brain and muscles. One gram can cause death.
Ketamine is produced commercially in a number of countries including Belgium, China, Colombia, Germany, Mexico, and the United States. Ketamine production is a complex and time consuming process, making clandestine production impractical. For this reason most of the ketamine illegally distributed in the United States is diverted or stolen from legitimate sources, particularly veterinary clinics, or smuggled into the United States from Mexico.
