[] Avoid using ketamine in combination with:

- Depressants (e.g. alcohol, benzodiazepines,) may result in loss of consciousness and death via suffocation caused by vomiting while unconscious.
- Stimulants (e.g amphetamine, cocaine, stimulating dissociatives such as diphenidine, ephenidine, MXE and PCP) this combination may potentiate the disinhibiting effects of dissociatives, particularly those with pronounced effects on motor and consciousness-suppression (like ketamine,) increasing the likelihood of the user suffering from a panic attack or even a psychotic episode.

[] Visual effects:

- Distortionary: environmental cubism, environmental orbism, distortions of perspective, scenery slicing.
- Geomotry: brightly coloured, immersive, simplistic and synthetic.
- Hallucinationatory: CEV's and OEV's including but not limited to alterations in perception, autonomous controllable scenarios, autonomous entities, plots and scenes.
- Suppresionary: double vision, frame rate suppression, pattern recognition suppression, visual acuity suppression and visual disconnection (resulting in holes and voids.)

[] Auditory effects:

- Distortions: perceived alterations in how audible sounds present and structure themselves.
- Enhancements: enhancement of the acuteness and clearness of sound.
- Hallucinations: the experience of hearing spontaneous imaginary noises that either occur randomly or manifest in the place of noises that are subconsciously (or consciously) expected to happen.
- Suppression: the experience of audible sound becoming perceived as distant, quiet and muffled.

[] Multi-sensory effects:

- Synaesthesia: in its fullest manifestation, this is a very rare and non-reproducible effect. Increasing the dosage can increase the likelihood of this occurring, but seems only to be a prominent part of the experience among those who are already predisposed to synaesthetic states.

[] Transpersonal effects:

- Existential self realization: a sudden realization, revelation or reaffirmation of one's existence within this universe.
- Unity and interconnectedness: an alteration in the cognitive rules which define both what one's sense of self or identity is attributed to and what it is felt as separate from.
