That was NOT coke!!! They Gave Me The Wrong Line…

Ketamine was mistakenly provided instead of cocaine at a festival setting after a misunderstanding regarding substance identification. The accidental ingestion of this dissociative anaesthetic caused an intense experience due to a significant dosage disparity and individual neurochemistry. Accidental ingestion of substances from strangers is a primary risk factor for such incidents. The case serves as an example of why reagent testing for substances is critical and why visual identification alone is unreliable. Harm reduction measures, specifically testing substances for their contents before use, are essential to prevent dangerous exposures.
