Sodium pentothal, also known as thiopentone, is one of the most well-known substances used as an intoxicating drug. This drug was developed in the 1930s, and since then its use has become illegal in many countries.
Pentothal was developed to treat drug addiction and other mental disorders. It acts on the nervous system, causing muscle relaxation and a decrease in pain sensitivity. However, this drug can cause serious side effects such as loss of consciousness, seizures, and even death.
Currently, pentothal is banned in many countries, including Russia, the USA and many others. Despite this, it continues to be used for medical and criminal purposes.
In many countries around the world, ketamine is used for anesthesia for various surgical procedures. It causes an analgesic effect, accompanied by certain symptoms. Some anesthesiologists are finding use of ketamine as a therapeutic agent in combination with other drugs due to its ability to improve mood and sleep quality.
