Ketamine is a short-acting general anaesthetic that has hallucinogenic and painkilling qualities that seem to affect people in very differently ways.
Some people describe a speedy rush within a few minutes of sniffing the powder (20 minutes if taken as a pill), leading to powerful hallucinations and even out of body experiences, along with physical incapacitation.
If you're on a dancefloor, music can sound heavy, weird and strangely compelling, lights seem very intense and physical co-ordination can fall apart along with an overall feeling of numbness.
Some people feel paralysed by the drug, unable to speak without slurring, while others either feel sick or actually throw up.
Be extremely careful how much Ketamine you take as it is stronger than the same amount of speed or coke. Accept that you may well be in for a rough ride with the drug as its effects are unpredictable and sometimes very confusing. Try not to mix it with other drugs, particularly alcohol.
Make sure you take it in a safe environment with friends who know what you're up to. Remember it's an anaesthetic, so if you hurt yourself you may not feel any pain. Like all drugs, it's best to be in good mental and physical health before taking anything.
Side effects: You may turn into a gibbering, spaced out bore, mumbling and slurring away while your dancing may begin to resemble Bill and Ben on acid. Your movements may become as swift as a spliffed-up tortoise crawling across an extra-sticky big bun on a very hot day. You may be unable to move at all.
