What are some effects of the drug ketamine and where do people transport it?

Question

I need to know specifically what ketamine does to your body. I also need to know where people get the main ingredients to make the ketamine. *I am not doing drugs. I need it for a health project*

Answer 1

Ketamine is a general dissociative anaesthetic for human and veterinary use. As with many other pharmaceuticals, ketamine is used extramedically as a recreational drug. The effect of Ketamine as a depressant on the respiratory and circulatory systems is less than that of other anaesthetics. When used at anaesthetic doses, it will sometimes stimulate rather than depress the circulatory system. It is sometimes possible to perform ketamine anaesthesia without protective measures to the airways. Ketamine is also a potent analgesic and can be used in sub-anaesthetic doses to relieve acute pain; however, its psychotropic properties must be taken into account. Patients have reported vivid hallucinations, "going into other worlds" or "seeing God" while anesthetized, and these unwanted psychological side-effects have reduced the use of ketamine in human medicine. As for where people get it they usaully steal it from an vets office. Ketamine sold illicitly comes from diverted legitimate supplies or theft, primarily veterinary clinics. In the US near its border with Mexico, the drug is most commonly acquired in Mexico, where it can be bought over the counter in veterinary clinics, and smuggled across the border. In 2003, Operation TKO was a probe conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). As a result of operation TKO, U.S. and Mexican authorities shut down the Mexico City company, Laboratorios Ttokkyo, which was the biggest producer of ketamine in Mexico. According to the DEA, over 80% of ketamine found in the U.S. is of Mexican origin.[

CED:

I believe you are thinking of Rohypnol, aka "Roofies". That is usually refered to as the date rape drug.





Bad Chik:

Ketamine is a dissociative anaesthetic, developed in the mid 1960's, used primarily for veterinary anaesthesiology. Although Ketamine is not used medically on humans much because it induces psychedelic episodes in patients, it is still used for some limited human applications because it does not depress breathing or circulation. Ketamine is used recreationally primarily as a snorted white powder and for therapeutic and psychedelic use it is often injected intra-muscularly (IM). Its effects range (at lower doses) from mild inebriation, dreamy thinking, stumbling, clumsy, or 'robotic' movement, delayed or reduced sensations, vertigo, sometimes erotic feelings, increased sociability, and an interesting sense of seeing the world differently to (at higher doses) extreme difficulty moving, nausea, complete dissociation, entering complete other realities, classic Near Death Experiences (NDEs), compelling visions, black outs, etc. Ketamine is also known for being more psychologically addictive / compelling than most psychedelics and it is not uncommon to hear of users who take it once or more daily.

Well "special K" is found in vet hospitals. I believe it used for animals. How people transport it would be in a viel i believe about 75% sure. What i have heard about it is it is a very intense drug for humans, it makes you feel very relaxed but very uncomfortable at the same time . .i have heard it is similar to heroin. here is a website i just looked up and read over looks like it could have all the scientific information you might be looking for

Answer 4

I'm glad you're not using this stuff. i have a few clients who were victims of it and it has trashed their lives.

Ketamine goes by the street names of Special K, Cat Valium, K, and Vitamin K. Some mixers will call it "Puff the Magic Dragon" or "Freddie Kruger". Police call it the "Date Rape Drug" because it causes the victims to have short term memory loss. The most frequent method of employing the drug is by "fixing" a glass of an unsuspecting victim, allowing it to dry and then offering the person a drink. Because K is odorless and tasteless when mixed in most alcoholic beverages, the victim thinks the "buzz" they're getting is a normal effect of the drink. Most of the victims are young girls, high school and college age. Most perpetrators are college aged or older men, sometimes working in groups. The victim is almost always videotaped while being raped to increase the profitability of the encounter and to use as emotional blackmail to keep her from reporting the crime.

i deal with high risk kids all the time and this is one of my biggest problems. it ruins lives and it's really hard to prosecute. My advice to young ladies is, buy your own drinks and if you leave it for a few minutes, buy a new one.
