The effects can be stimulating, creating feelings of increased energy and euphoria. Other effects can include floating sensations, numbness, loss of time, loss of control or disconnection from the body.

Users may also feel sick or throw up - dangerous at high doses if the user is unconscious or very disorientated and can choke on their vomit. Ketamine blocks nerve paths without depressing respiratory and circulatory functions, and therefore acts as a reliable anaesthetic, which also means that if a user has hurt themselves they are unlikely to feel any pain. Large doses could induce unconsciousness, which could lead to cardiovascular failure.

You can become psychologically but not physically dependent on Ketamine.

Ketamine is a prescription only medicine. You could be prosecuted for supplying it and that includes giving it to friends.
