Any use of a chemical straight into the bloodstream to make a job “easier” is wild. At the same time, cops won’t administer a person’s prescription inhaler to cover their ass on medical shit. (I know paramedics do the medical shit, but cops request the sedatives a lot of the time.)
If you wanted it for therapeutic use, you'd have to jump through hoops and spend a lot of $ just to get little bit. Meanwhile, cops can have you sedated with it at will.
I've never used ketamine, but if it's anything like similar dissociatives, an unexpected trip could be very disturbing. And on top of the other abuses from police, I can imagine the whole ordeal would cause life-long trauma (if you survived in the first place).
Esp n distressed state like that.
It is amazing though that state can do this to you whenever but you cant go buy yourself.
Never forget folks.
I work on the ems side of things. A normal sized dose of ketamine is a lot less harmful than many other options. I've experienced seeing levels of histaria or rage in people that I wouldn't have believed existed 20 years ago. It's taken six of us to hold down a 110 pound woman that's trying to claw and bite and flail. They'll dislocate a shoulder just trying to struggle out of straps. Yes, less of us could have overpowered her, but not without physically hurting her to do it.
Bottom line is, ketamine is needed, because overall, it helps a lot more people than it hurts. I've never been around it being used when it wasn't necessary or being over dosed.
