Ketamine (Ketalar) is a dissociative general anesthetic that has been available by prescription in the U.S. since the 1970s for human and veterinary uses. It has also been used for pain control in burn therapy, battlefield injuries, and in children who cannot use other anesthetics due to side effects or allergies.
Most of the time, Ketamine is used in veterinary medicine as an animal tranquilizer however it can also be used in human medicine as an anesthetic. When the drug is found on the street, it has typically been swiped from a veterinary office.he drug is often evaporated to form a light colored powder that is then used on the streets. When ketamine is abused by users outside of the medical field, it is often found mixed with other substances such as in MDMA, in pills or in other drugs.
