Discussion
Which drug has become increasingly popular as a drug of abuse in the "clubscene" owing to its ability to produce psychedelic effect ?
Answer: D
The drug is Ketamine.
Ketamine is a dissociative anaesthetic used in human and veterinary medicine. At sub-anaesthetic doses it produces dream-like, out-of-body and hallucinatory experiences (the 'K-hole'), which made it a popular club drug, alongside MDMA and GHB, in the dance and rave scene. Its anaesthetic and amnesic effects have also led to its misuse in drug-facilitated sexual assault.
Heroin is an opioid sedative, cocaine a stimulant, and diazepam a benzodiazepine tranquilliser. All are abused, but none is valued for a psychedelic effect, which is what the question asks about.
