        Ketamine is used by doctors and vets. So it is heavily regulated but can be used legally by people allowed to prescribe/use it.

        Ketamine is a tranquilizer… so for official use nothing recreational.

          Low dose therapeutic ketamine is apparently used in some cases of depression and trauma therapy as wel

            Usually that’s the highly related compound called esketamine, which is stronger and is administered in smaller doses nasally and has fewer side effects. Sold under the brand name Spravato. The commercials for it have some things listed as side effects I don’t think I’d seen in a drug commercial before: “can cause … feeling disconnected from yourself, your thoughts, space and time”

          Perhaps if you didn’t just think about yourself and your perspective you might see that the other person asking a question and someone answering it will be useful if and when other people just web searches and append lemmy like we used to Reddit.

          We can all search anything at any time, but sometimes it nice to have the input of others and contribute to discussions for others to find later.
