    Cops (and paramedics) should not have access to Ketamine. The last thing you want in a k hole is to be man handled. That shit will scar you for life if it doesn't kill you.

      No reason to use ketamine unless you are in the process of intubating them or they have woken up during surgery. Putting someone on a breathing machine happens in a hospital environment not on a sidewalk done by an EMT. Ketamine at high doses is a powerful dissociative (forces mind to switch to 3rd person view) used by anesthesiologists when someone becomes conscious during traumatic procedures. Like when someone wakes up while surgeons have their chest opened up or they need to be woken while intubated on a breathing machine. Causes what would be an extremely traumatic experience to become an out of body experience that a person will likely dismiss should they even remember it.

        Interesting, I've always been of the belief that K doesn't have a ton of "real world" use cases beyond being a bit of fun. (Its therapeutic potential is likely done better by other substances subjectively) Never heard of it being used as a backup anesthesic.
