Why Is the Chinese Government So Eager to Beef Up Restrictions on Ketamine?

At least it's more available now then it was a year or so ago. Still so expensive though.

From the article: "Ketamine is more than a recreational drug. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists ketamine as an essential medicine for its use as a cheap and efficient anesthetic. Its administration requires no electricity, oxygen, or even trained anesthetists, making it a particularly useful pharmaceutical in developing nations. In many countries, ketamine is one of the few modern surgical tools at hand.

This is why last week WHO announced that they wouldn't support increasing international restrictions on the drug. This is the fourth time since 2006 WHO has made this recommendation, and the fourth time in that period the Chinese government has called for ketamine to come under the same regulatory framework as Xanax or Valium."

Any predictions on how these things impact dnms and the future of ketamine availability/prices?

Donald Trump has threatened to ban the Chinese, and take their internet away from them -which the u.s owns anyway- if they don't stop poisoning America's traditionally valued youth with the evil scourge that is ketamine.

I think a bulk amount of ketamine comes from india i do not suspect chinese cracking down will effect supply on the dnm much.
