[INDIA] Ketamine to be sold only with prescription

Bummer for people who mail-order their K from India ...
Ketamine to be sold only with prescription November 1, 2010 - indianexpress.com
Anesthetic drug Ketamine will no longer be available ‘over the counter’ in India and can be obtained only with a prescription in duplicate. Chemists will have to retain the duplicate prescription for two years.
In a drug consultative committee meeting last week, the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) shifted Ketamine from Schedule H to Schedule X, for which special control measures will have to be taken.
The decision was taken following complaints of its misuse.
“India has become a major Ketamine source for South East Asian countries. The shifting of Ketamine from H to X will help bring this down,” said Dr Surinder Singh, DCGI.
Shifting Ketamine would mean an extensive documentation for chemists, including two sets of prescription. Chemists would need a licence from the State Food and Drug Administration to sell it or face punishment.

i wonder if this'll actually make a dent... india is so huge and many ketamine vendors get powder straight from the manufacturer and not even from a pharmacy

i imagine it would certainly make a dent on locals using ketamine recreationally, but like you said, anyone who is really into distribution is going to find a way around this.

There are other countries to get Ketamine from, but this is going to make a huge difference.
