Curiosity is getting the best of me ATM... so I went and grabbed this off the internet to add to the quest for knowledge, figured I would share...

WHAT IS KETAMINE?
* Ketamine hydrochloride ("Special K" or "K") was originally created for use as a human anaesthetic, and is still used as a general anaesthetic for children, persons of poor health, and in veterinary medicine.
* Ketamine belongs to a class of drugs called "dissociative anaesthetics," which separate perception from sensation. Other drugs in this category include PCP, DXM and nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
* Ketamine usually comes as a liquid in small pharmaceutical bottles, and is most often cooked into a white powder for snorting.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF KETAMINE?
* At lower doses it has a mild, dreamy feeling similar to nitrous oxide. Users report feeling floaty and slightly outside their body. Numbness in the extremities is also common.
* Higher doses produce a hallucinogenic (trippy) effect, and may cause the user to feel very far away from their body.
* This experience is often referred to as entering a "K-hole" and has been compared to a near death experience with sensations of rising above one's body. Many users find the experience spiritually significant , while others find it frightening.
* While in a K-hole it is very difficult to move. People usually remain seated or lying down during the experience.
WHAT IS THE DOSAGE?
* Most people snort small lines or "bumps" for a mild, dreamy effect. The effect comes on within about 5 to 10 minutes.
* 100mg is usually enough to enter a K-hole.
* If liquid is injected into the muscle, less is needed to enter a K-hole. Effects can be felt within four minutes. (Ketamine is never injected into the vein).
* If swallowed, the effects come on in 10 - 20 minutes.
* Some people become nauseous after taking ketamine.
* Occasionally ketamine has been sold in a capsule as "Ecstasy," although it is nothing like MDMA (real ecstasy). An ecstasy testing kit can be used to screen against fake ecstasy tablets.
BE CAREFUL
* While low doses of Ketamine can increase heart-rate, at higher doses it depresses consciousness and breathing and is extremely dangerous to combine with downers like alcohol, Valium or GHB.
* Frequent use can cause disruptions in consciousness and lead to neuroses or other mental disorders.
* Ketamine can cause a tremendous psychological dependence. The dissociation from one's consciousness experienced with ketamine can be highly seductive to some people, and there are many cases of ketamine addiction.
* Ketamine is illegal and possession can result in long prison terms.

Mixing with Other Drugs
What are the effects of mixing ketamine with alcohol, amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy (MDMA), heroin, LSD, magic mushrooms, tobacco and other drugs?
Taking ketamine with other "downers," like alcohol or heroin, only increases the drug's sedative effects. You run the risk of slowing or shutting down your central nervous system by combining drugs in this way. Learn more about mixing... ketamine and other substances.

Onset of the K Effect
The K effect is very rapid. If you use a small amount of Special K, you may start off feeling dreamy and like you are floating outside of your own body. Your arms and legs may feel numb in the initial stages of the trip. In 10-20 minutes you may find yourself hardly able to move and, at higher doses, the experience has been described as even approaching out-of-body and near-death experiences.
Peaking on Special K
At the height of the experience, you may experience dazzling insights, hallucinate and even feel yourself communicating with forces, entities and elements you were never conscious of before. The world you see in your mind may be very detailed and in some cases, you may feel that you are sharing your visions or thoughts with other people who are nearby.
The visual hallucinations that K users experience may include images, as well as the sensation of falling or even flying. It has been likened to a religious experience, with some users seeing and communicating with a Higher Power.
Users often fall into a deep trance state. Most people are sitting or lying down during this phase. Their eyes may move sightlessly from side and side, and their bodies may assume bizarre postures. Try to tell someone about it and you're likely to mumble monosyllabic and nonsensical inanities.
Some people find it a life-changing and even spiritual experience. Others find it a lonely and unemotional experience. It may even be terribly frightening. Whatever you make of it -- it's intense.
Coming Down from Ketamine
Usually, a Ketamine trip only lasts between 45 and 90 minutes, regardless of dosage. The experience can be much shorter if you have high tolerance. The effects wear off very rapidly.
Well... after reading this, I think I can safely say, it is less volatile than acid... only a 45-90 minute trip instead of 24 hours later ending up screaming with your head in the toilet...
