Template:Hallucinogen-project "Ketamine was first used by American soldiers during the Vietnam War, but is often avoided now because it can cause unpleasant out of body experiences"
Im sure this is not the real reason.
- It's certainly what I've read in a few places. The statistic was something like 1 in 10 had negative effects off of taking it - quite possibly more had hallucinogenic effects, but not everyone had a bad time off of it ;) Again though, I couldn't produce an authoratitive source on that - anyone got a copy of Jansen's Ketamine Dreams book to hand? spiralx 13:13, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Out of Body..........
I would say that the out of body experience description is accurate in that when I was a novice user in my teens I had originally thought that Ketamine would put me to sleep. After having insufflated (snorted) a dose of approximately 0.5 grams of very pure substance (Ketaset), I and my companion experienced an intense experience where the room appeared to take the shape of a bowl which consisted of a maze of circuitry in which we were embedded, and left outside ourselves to view the two of us in this condition.
