  "description": "A short acting dissociative anaesthetic and hallucinogen commonly used in emergency medicine. It is the prototypical dissociative, and is widely used at sub-anesthetic doses recreationally. Small doses are comparable with alcohol, while larger doses are immobilising and lead to psychedelic experiences: the \"K-Hole.\"",
  "effects": [
    "A feeling of drunkenness and well being at low doses",
    "As dose increases the user may begin to feel a disconnection from their body",
    "At 'khole' doses the user may become completely disconnected from both body and mind"
