| | Ketamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ketamine may be used in small doses (0.1–0.5 mg/kg/hr) as an analgesic, particularly for the treatment of pain associated with movement and neuropathic pain. | | | There is ongoing research in France, Russia, and the U.S. into the drug's usefulness in pain therapy and for the treatment of alcoholism and heroin addiction. | | | In veterinary medicine, ketamine is often used for its anaesthetic and analgesic effects on cats, dogs, rabbits, rats, and other small animals. |

| | Ketamine Fact Sheet |
| | Ketamine, or ketamine hydrochloride, is a non-barbiturate, rapid-acting disassociative anesthetic used on both animals and humans; it also has been used in human medicine for pediatric burn cases and dentistry, and in experimental psychotherapy. | | | Ketamine may relieve tension and anxiety, is purported to be a sexual stimulant, and intensifies colors and sounds. | | | Since ketamine is an anesthetic, it stops the user from feeling pain, which could lead the user to inadvertantly cause injury to himself/herself. |

| | Ketamine |
| | Ketamine is widely used in veterinary medicine, and is not currently a controlled drug. | | | Ketamine is a strong drug which produces an "out-of-body" experience: your mind dissociates itself from your body. | | | Ketamine is called "dissociative" in action, which means that it feels as if the mind is "separated" from the body. |

| | Ketamine |
| | When ketamine is used as an anesthetic in humans, it is used with another drug to prevent hallucinations. | | | While no studies have been done to measure ketamine's physically addictive properties, it is acknowledged, even by its proponents, to be psychologically addictive. | | | Club drugs (also sometimes called Dance Drugs or Designer Drugs) are drugs which at one time were found most frequently in night clubs and at raves, but have since become some of the fastest growing drugs used by college students. |

| | Ketamine is good for personal analysis because in "eternity," one can see all of the events and actions which shape and mold individual behavior. | | | Ketamine enables metaprogramming in individuals to a point where it seems like synaptic pathways are almost consciously being rerouted to acheive a desired reality shift. | | | Ketamine's primary "official" usage is as an injectable anesthetic for light surgery on small mammals -- including dogs, cats, sheep, etc. In the U.S., it is currently most commonly used in veterinary medicine. |

| | Ketamine has been used for repeated procedures such as radiation therapy and the changing of burn dressings in which analgesia (pain reduction) is desired by deep anesthesia is not required or may even be dangerous (depressing vitals). | | | While ketamine is approved for commercial use as a veterinary product in cats and monkeys for short-duration surgery or immobilization, it is also used in human medicine. | | | While ketamine and GHB and MDMA provide out of body experiences and whack reality quite a bit, it is still a bit below the out-to-lunch level of PCP trips. |

| | On my first Ketamine experience there was a non-verbal feeling that my entire life up to that point had been preparation, particularly my other psychedelic experiences, and taking Ketamine was like pressing the GO button. | | | Another factor to be aware of when using Ketamine is that much of the life energy, known as Chi or Kundalini, departs the body during the journey, normally returning along with one's awareness. | | | Another important factor in the quality of the Ketamine experience is one's "set" or personality. |
