Ketamine molecule, recreational drug

Ketamine molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the recreational drug ketamine (C13.H16.Cl.N.O). The atoms (tubes) are colour-coded: carbon (light blue), hydrogen (grey), chlorine (green), oxygen (red) and nitrogen (dark blue). Ketamine is a non- barbiturate, rapid-acting anaesthetic that is used in medicine. It is also abused as a recreational drug that can produce a wide range of effects from rapture to paranoia to boredom. Overdose can cause death, and long-term use can cause psychological problems including dependence on continued use of the drug. Its sale and use, except for medical purposes, is illegal in many countries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the ketamine molecule, a recreational drug that has both medical and illicit uses. The intricate structure is color-coded to highlight different atoms: carbon (light blue), hydrogen (grey), chlorine (green), oxygen (red), and nitrogen (dark blue). Ketamine is primarily known as a rapid-acting anesthetic used in medicine, but it is also abused for its mind-altering effects. The image serves as a reminder of the dangers associated with this substance. Overdosing on ketamine can be fatal, while prolonged use may lead to psychological problems and dependence. Consequently, many countries have made its sale and non-medical use illegal. Despite its risks, ketamine's recreational use continues due to the wide range of effects it produces. Users may experience euphoria or paranoia, or even succumb to boredom. This versatility has earned it the reputation of being a dissociative hallucinogen. Through this visually striking illustration, we gain insight into the molecular composition of ketamine—a controlled substance with psychoactive properties. Its complex atomic arrangement represents not only its potential for abuse but also its significance in pharmacology and biochemistry research.
