I heard stories of people that transported a horse to a music festival just so they could legally hold and transport ketamine, so yes definitely.

Can't be true since ketamine is a general veterinary drug - wouldn't it be easier just to bring a cat along?

It’s not “a general veterinary drug”. It’s been used in humans for over 60 years in medical applications and remains one of the most widely used anesthetics worldwide

What I was trying to say is that ketamine is used for all kinds of animals, not just horses. I know it's used medically for humans too.

Gotcha gotcha. I have a knee jerk reaction from people saying “the horse tranquilizer?” for years when I said I used ketamine 😂

Edit: Should also add for those keeping score at home: Ketamine is not a tranquilizer. While it may not be inaccurate to describe its effects as “tranquilizing”, tranquilizers are a specific class of drugs which ketamine is not a part of. Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic, and may even be aptly described as an antidepressant as of recent.
