    • 2018 May 8, Moises Velasquez-Manoff, “Ketamine Stirs Up Hope—and Controversy—as a Depression Drug”, in WIRED:
      Recreational users call it "special K," and the euphoric, hallucinatory experience it induces the "K-hole."

      “They're getting their drugs mixed up,” she said. “If someone did a line of coke, it would be a very different size than if someone did a bump of ketamine, right?
