      It’ll do that. It gets a terrible reputation, but it has both messed with my mind and also, 30m later, I feel fine.

      And putting the recreational side of the drug aside, it’s great in a clinical setting as well. I’ve been out of the EMT game for a bit, but I recall there being discussion of adding it to the repertoire of paramedics to deal with severe pain, as opposed to opiate administration. There are very few contraindications for ketamine, and nothing takes away pain like leaving your body behind.

          I know a couple people using it for mental health related reasons, under the care of a doctor. One goes for injections every couple weeks, the other gets these troches, meant to be placed buccally in the mouth. They both seem to experience positive effects from it.

          My experience is limited to the abuse half, but positive effects as well.
