‘Ketamine - Just Say Neigh’ is a t-shirt slogan that is taking off massively at the moment. Ketamine is, for those who don’t know, a veterinary medicine for horses which people are now taking as a recreational drug.
“Ketamine produces a dissociative state, characterised by a sense of detachment from one’s physical body and the external world which is known as depersonalization and derealization,” Wikipedia explains.
I am not sure if this t-shirt is for or against this drug, but I do know it makes me smile!
