AFAIK, Ketamine's primary use has been as a anesthetic for animals (specifically cats, though that is old old data if it was ever correct). It's dissociative, I think. Which works for some people in a pain-killeresque way, but not everyone? Maybe? I'm relying on my sorry memory of questionable sources, so, have a lot of salt with that.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
It's a horse tranq, right?
I don't know how they're going to film any of the books and still make them PG-13
For real.
lot of cutting away before shit gets real.
I foresee lots and lots of skin-crawling Foley.
Posted my thoughts in Literary, btw, such as they are.

I really wish someone would take ita's pain seriously.
Whiplash: my stylist's been taking pictures of her clients and posting them to fb. I did a screengrab, cause it's kinda a nice picture, if a little dark and just a phonepic: [link]

Because books.
Ketamine sounds intense and unpleasant. I think I first heard of it on House.
I can't imagine what the Hunger Games movies are going to be like. And I assume they're doing all three, right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think it is used as horse tranq, yeah. Basically it takes your brain completely offline. The anesthesiologist warned me "this is going to feel a little weird". Understatement of the fucking YEAR - I spent my entire c-section having a surreal out of body experience, babbling incoherently the whole time. Coming down from it was one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had. Ugh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I only know about it because of the Placebo song of the same name. Apparently it comes on very strong.
In other horrible news, a retired British woman was stabbed to death and beheaded on the Spanish island of Tenerife, by an apparently crazy Bulgarian. Totes random and ghastly.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Quester, insent. Am now feeling like one of the dealers in Balmer, offering testers so you'll know how good the shit is.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I wanna talk about drugs. Heroin! No, not heroin. Speed! No, not speed. Hashish! No, not even hashish. Horse tranquilizers? Not horse tranquilizers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't get much ketamine. Certainly not enough to feel altered. Definitely NOT ENOUGH TO CURE MY HEADACHE. But I have circled the rim of the K-Hole.
