Ketamine, from drug to psychedelic drug – Medicine

Synthesized in 1962 as an anesthetic and pain-relieving drug, ketamine which Elon Musk said he used on the basis of periodic prescription by the doctor is still used today to induce and maintain anesthesia, both in medicine and in veterinary medicine and recent studies they indicate it as an effective drug against forms of depression that do not respond to traditional therapies, provided that it is administered under strict medical supervision, also due to the serious risks linked to the interaction with some drugs.

It is in fact a substance that at certain doses can have psychedelic effects. In the 1970s it became one of the most popular drugs in hippie communities due to its psychedelic effects and low cost and later became one of the ‘high’ substances at raves.

This happens because ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic, meaning it acts by giving the sensation of separating the mind from the body. For this reason, at high doses you may experience hallucinations and the sensation of entering another reality, with the consequent risk of an ever greater detachment from reality.

Exceeding a minimum dosage risks being very dangerous. For example, very fragile personalities can fall into real psychosis. Furthermore, continuous use also leads to physical disorders, such as difficulty digesting and urinating, memory problems.
