Ketamine is a general anesthetic used for non-skeletal muscle-relaxing diagnostic and surgical procedures. NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins, 24, tested positive for Ketamine and norketamine at the time of his death, according to the study. Both substances have therapeutic and recreational use. Furthermore, Haskins had a blood-alcohol level two and a half times the legal limit when he was murdered on a South Florida roadway on April 9.
Two blood samples were taken, one of which had a result of.20 and the other of.24. The legal limit in Florida is.08. Haskins was out at a Miami nightclub the night before his death and got into a fight before leaving. According to authorities, Haskins wandered about for 20 minutes before his death hunting for gasoline since his car’s petrol ran out.

Dwayne meant so much to so many people. His smile was infectious and he was a guy you wanted to be around. We are all in shock about losing him. We are going to miss the heck out of him as well. We lost you way too early. Luckily I got a chance to get to know you. RIP DH

Haskins was strolling on I-595 near the airport in Fort Lauderdale moments before he was killed when he was struck by a dump truck. He was pronounced deceased at the spot. Haskins, who would have been 25 on May 3, was in town to work out with the Steelers’ quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers at the request of recently acquired quarterback Mitch Trubisky.
What is known about the drug ketamine? Exploration of applications and side effects
The medication is used by doctors to produce general anesthesia. It is a trustworthy source for medical operations that do not need muscular relaxation. The medicine is a Schedule III non-narcotic that has only been licensed for use as a general anesthetic by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Doctors may prescribe it for “off-label” uses such as depression. Dissociativeness is the sense of being detached, while general anesthesia refers to a sleep-like condition.
The world lost a great person today. When Dwayne first walked into the locker room I could tell he was an upbeat guy. He was always making people smile, never taking life for granted. His impact on me will last a forever.

The substance, like others such as LSD, PCP, or angel dust, may create hallucinations. Perceptual distortions of sounds and visuals cause hallucinations. Because the substance has the ability to sedate, incapacitate, and induce short-term memory loss, some individuals use it as a date-rape drug. Although it is believed that Ketamine may aid depression, there has been little study on its usage for this ailment. Thus, before prescribing it, one should assess the risks.
Effects and Dangers
Ketamine at recommended amounts causes drowsiness, double vision, confusion, dizziness, and a feeling of discomfort. However, this medicine may induce a variety of other symptoms that affect many different parts of the body but are less common.
People with high blood pressure should avoid using this medication. In such cases, it may lead to an aneurysm, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a heart attack. The medication is also not advised for those who have schizophrenia, are pregnant, or are nursing. There is no risk-free recreational use of the substance, since it may lead to addiction and negative health repercussions, including death.
