Misinformation. Get that from the local paper?
I looked it up, Ketamine Hydrochloride has an LD50 (amount needed to kill 50% of lab animals) of 77milligrams per kilogram. So if I weigh in at 140lbs, 63.64kg, I would have to somehow inject 4900 milligrams before passing out to have a 50% chance of dieing. Not likely considering a normal dose is somewhere between 75mg and 125mg. The notion of snorting 5 grams at once is just silly. I'm sure if you REALLY tried, you might be able to do it. That would have to be a good sized syringe, and I'm not so sure a muscle could take 5 grams quick enough. I suppose you could do it by IV injection, but you'd have to be suicidal. Therefor, you cannot "easily OD" on Ketamine.
I'd imagine it was used in Vietnam, but only for surgerys and the like. It is not a long lasting drug, and a person cannot physically function with any real amount of K in them. It is not a pain killer.
It is safe, and is FDA approved for human consumption. It's so safe, as stated before, they prefer to use it on children and the elderly over other anasthetics.
Remember what I said about research? Yeah.
