Ketamine is an unusual type of psychedelic drug — called a dissociative — that is undergoing a resurgence in popularity. Originally derived from PCP, or "angel dust," ketamine has been used in hospitals and veterinary clinics as an anesthetic for decades, and has been cited as a drug of misuse under the moniker "special K."

It is the effects that ketamine reliably produces that underlie both its medical and recreational uses: pain control, forgetfulness, intoxication, disassociation, and euphoria. Recently, it has been used more widely due to its approval for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) — that is, severe depression that has not improved via other therapies, including people who are experiencing suicidal thoughts.

I want psilocybin. Big believer in natural, though I take psych meds as well
