Ketamine - Special K
Ketamine is legal in the United States for use as a veterinary anesthetic. In humans it produces a dissociative effect similar to PCP. A victim who ingests Ketamine will have hallucinations and feel separated from their body. Amnesia and dream-like memories make it difficult for a victim to remember.
Special K has been associated with rape across the country and world, much in the same way roofies has been. As with all drugs and alcohol, a person on Special K is never capable of sexual consent, no matter how clear-headed they appear. Sexual contact with someone on drugs or alcohol is rape.
Alcohol: while you are protecting your drink against tampering, be aware that your drink itself may also be cause for concern. ALCOHOL IS STILL THE RAPIST'S #1 DRUG OF CHOICE.
