What is ketamine addiction?
If you’ve been taking ketamine, although it’s not physically addictive, you can still become psychologically dependent on Ketamine. Ketamine ‘Ket’ is a powerful hallucinogenic dissociative drug that’s available rather cheaply. It’s most commonly available as a grainy white or brown powder, made up of small crystalline shards.
