dc.description.abstract	Ketamine, a dissociative anaesthetic drug, acts on the central nervous system (CNS) primarily through antagonism of the n-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Methods of administration include intravenous, intramuscular, snorting and smoking. Intranasal use, which has a very rapid onset of action, is common among recreational users.	en_US
