'''Ketamine''' is a psychoactive substance in this archive. Details (chemistry, ROAs, and dose ranges) still need to be filled in.
'''Ketamine''' is a short-acting arylcyclohexylamine dissociative used medically as an anesthetic. Recreationally it ranges from tipsy dissociation to a full “K-hole,” with relatively rapid onset when insufflated and a clearer comedown than many longer PCP analogues.

Ketamine

Ketamine is a short-acting arylcyclohexylamine dissociative used medically as an anesthetic. Recreationally it ranges from tipsy dissociation to a full “K-hole,” with relatively rapid onset when insufflated and a clearer comedown than many longer PCP analogues.
