Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that is abused for its hallucinogenic effects. It works as an NDMA receptor antagonist in humans. In supervised medical settings, it is generally safe. However, in recreational situations it can be dangerous. One risk is that users may accidentally harm themselves while impaired. Additionally, it can be fatal in the case of an overdose, but this is fairly uncommon. Ketamine is one of the more addictive hallucinogens, and repeated use has been associated with cognitive deficiencies.

Ketamine is usually legally used as an anesthetic for humans or animals. Typically it is found as a solution but for illicit use it is dried to make a powder. It is a very intense high and is not recommended for people who have paranoid tendencies. Also, people who do not like audio or visual hallucinations should consider not doing it, or only in small doses.

The high lasts anywhere from 30 mins to 1hr per does.

When first trying this drug, do it in a safe place with a small amount of people, as you will not know how this drug will affect you. this drug is prone to causing people to get disoriented and have slower reflexes and thought processes. this can be very dangerous in a public setting even if you do know how ketamine affects you.

after a length of time you may feel more comfortable and doing it in public may be a new experience. limit the amount you do by using a bumper or by thinking about what you normally would do and cutting that in half. if you choose to do more, continue in small amounts as there is a tipping point to excess which depends on a large number of variables. In Large Quantities is where you may become unable to speak or comprehend instructions. body movements would be severely compromised in this state and also the pain receptors in your brain. memory is also inhibited which in combination can be very dangerous. if you find yourself in this state, the high usually only last 15 minutes so find yourself some where to sit down and wait it out the full amount of time. time gets distorted so go by the time on your watch or cell phone. not what feels right. you will still be high after this time but you should have come down to a point where you can collect yourself and find your friends.

try to drink lots of water. this drug is metabolized by your liver and the more water you have in your body the easier it is for your liver. this will not reduce the high or speed up the processes, it just makes it easier on your body.

there are long term effects on the body with long term use, as there is with many drugs.
