In the United States, and many parts of Europe, there is a growing popularity of large club parties called raves, and with those large parties come a certain kind of psychoactive drugs called club drugs. When teenagers go to these large raves, club drugs are easily available and inexpensive to buy. There is a myth amongst many young adults that the drugs that are sold at these giant clubs are not dangerous or addicting, however, there are quite a few people that do end up being addicted to these drugs. Most of these drugs are quite damaging to the liver, lungs and brain cells, a short list of these drugs would include ketamine, LSD, ecstasy, and Rohypnol, but our new ones coming on the market daily. For now, let's take a look at ketamine and it's symptoms of abuse plus long-term health risks.
Ketamine is mainly considered an anesthetic for use on animals, it is sometimes also used on humans but rarely. When administered by a Dr. or veterinarian for a limited time it's fairly safe in the right dose. However, when abused by humans country you reside in. Most users report having vivid hallucinations, delirium, and amnesia as a result of taking special, it can be fairly dangerous, and is quite often mixed with other drugs such as heroin, cocaine and marijuana in order to boost the overall high. The street name for ketamine is "Vitamin K", or "Special K" depending on the part of the K, in addition to respiratory problems that can sometimes end in death.
Some people believe since vitamin K is used by doctors that it's safe to abuse without becoming addicted. Unfortunately this is a myth, and an overdose of Special K can be quite deadly the very first time. If you or someone you know is having trouble breaking their addiction it would be good to seek the help of a qualified drug addiction and rehabilitation clinic in your area.
