Dissociative drugs and hallucinogens give users an intensification of their senses, along with a detached otherworldly sensation. Ketamine has been useful in sedation with some legitimate medical purposes, but can also be abused. Most stimulants have no approved medical purpose aside form Ketamine.
PCP (Phenylcylohexyl piperdine) was developed in the 1950’s for medical anesthesia but was restricted in the 1960’s due to adverse side effects. It became commonly known as angel dust when it hit the streets in the 1960’s. It has some potent dissociative effects and has resulted in very dangerous situations when people become intoxicated from its use.
Other hallucinogens have been used by various cultural groups to induce religious or spiritual experiences. Dextromethorphan (DXM) is a medicine that has been used for a long time and very effectively as a cough suppressant. Unfortunately many youth deem it to be safer than other drugs and experiment with it. In large doses it does have a dissociative effect, and it is quite easy to obtain. DXM can be dangerous if ingested in large amounts.
