There are individuals and groups that have been exploring the psychological benefits of ketamine for decades and it is just beginning to gain mainstream attention. Without explicit FDA approval for its mental health implications, however, it remains a gray area as a drug of off-label use for these conditions. This, coupled with its reputation as a street drug and its use of an anesthesia agent, leaves many consumers and practitioners hesitant of its use. If you are one of them, I hope to help change this for you.
