| Ketamine |  Ketamine hydrochloride ("Special K" or "K") is a strong hallucinogen. In actual fact, this drug was initially created for use as a human anaesthetic, and is still used as a general anaesthetic for children, people of poor health, and in veterinary medicine.
Ketamine appertains to a group of drugs called "dissociative anaesthetics". These drugs take apart perception from sensation. Users sometimes call the high caused by Special K, "K hole," and describe intense hallucinations that consist of visual distortions and a lost sense of time, sense, and identity.
As a rule, Ketamine usually comes as a liquid in small pharmaceutical bottles, and is most often cooked into a white powder for snorting.
Effects of Ketamine
 At small doses it has a mild, pensive feeling close to nitrous oxide. Users tell about the feeling of floaty and slightly outside their body. Numbness in the extremities is also common.
Bigger doses cause a hallucinogenic (trippy) effect, and may make the user to feel very far away from their body.
This feeling 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. Lots of 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.
