For the papers to highlight that it is a "banned class B drug" or whatever is very misleading though. Ketamine is already used in medicine for emergency pain relief, anaesthesia, etc. This is just a trial testing a 'new' use of the drug and really shouldn't be so controversial.

I didn't see the point of them pointing out that this drug is class B. As Yenool said, it's commonly used by emergency doctors. Probably just covering themselves I guess.

From reading the comments from Rupert McShane, it reminded of that film 'Awakenings' with Robin Williams and Rovert DeNiro!

It saves being plugged into the grid though.

Perhaps when I take my dog down the vets next time, we can have a double appointment :roflmao:

During the study, 38 patients with severe depression were treated over three weeks. 30 per cent saw their depressive symptoms lessen by 50 per cent while one in eight had complete remission.
