They are not trying to make it more popular. It's a drug that we have used for a long time for surgeries and in very small doses for pain. But now we are seeing that in mice it's doing something they were unaware of so if and there is a if we can replicate it in humans then it could help a lot of people. Substance abuse is a choice a person makes that is an active decision on their part. And believe me when I say when it comes to people like that no amount of knowledge on the substance matters to them it's only the high.

They already are... Some parts of Ketamine have been altered or omitted (I'm not sure of the process) but it 'becomes' esketamine- I don't have all of the answers, but... it has literally saved my life. i never thought I could or would feel normal again- much less feel joy again after my two year old son passed away. Sounds like you may not have all the answers. It hasn't dumbed me down- and I've never done ketamine- other than my treatments- it has quite literally woken up my heart and spirit again and I am so grateful... They aren't saying go score drugs off the street and you won't be depressed anymore... But I assure you- they are certainly onto something... Also, Many soldiers with PTSD have been helped, as well... It isn't as simple as you are thinking it is.
