Has there been any increase in illegal use of ketamine since research on its use as a depression treatment first started being published?<p>Having dealt with those issues for many years, and recovered, I can see a real danger in those who suffer from depression saying &quot;K will fix this? I&#x27;ll try anything&quot;. I would have.<p>I&#x27;m a firm believer in drug law reform and decriminalization of drug use  but from what I&#x27;ve seen of it Ketamine isn&#x27;t something you want people taking out of desperation, with little knowledge of how crazy it just might get. Or worse, developing a dependency on. It&#x27;s pretty serious stuff.
