Because of its low cost, general tolerance and wide accessibility, Ketamine or Special K has become a staple of sorts among drug using gay partygoers. Special K is highly prized for the disassociative high (your mind separates form your body) it gives users and is often used in combination with other drugs such as ecstasy, crystal, cocaine and even heroin.

Ketamine hydrochloride is a "dissociative anesthetic" with the power to separate your mind from your body and numb your ability to feel pain. In controlled doses, the drug blocks nerve paths without depressing breathing and blood circulation, which proved valuable during surgery.
