Straits Times Reflection 6

Question 1. What are the different forms of ketamine?

Answer: There is a liquid form, legally used by doctors and vets for immunisation purposes. Ketamine also comes in powder and tablet form, which people consume it illegally to feel high.

Question 2. What would you do if you knew your friend took ketamine?

Answer: I would advise him to stop taking Ketamine and warn him about the negative consequences if consumed. This might trigger his awareness and he might take some action to quit the habit. If not, I will go around and ask doctors or professionals for some help.
