By I guess some people are willing to put anything into their bodies to get high:
South Korean police said Wednesday that they plan to question two U.S. soldiers accused of using illegal drugs in an off-post apartment.
A Wonju police spokesman, speaking on the customary condition of anonymity, said an arrest warrant had been issued for one of two South Koreans accused of using ketamine — an animal tranquilizer — with the soldiers.
The spokesman said the man, identified only as Cho, allegedly inhaled the ketamine with the Camp Long-based soldiers and a 24-year-old South Korean woman on Dec. 4 and that the alleged drug use went back to September.
The spokesman said a urine sample from Cho, 28, tested positive for the drug and that he admitted to using it with the three suspects. Cho stated that he didn’t know the source of the ketamine, the spokesman said. [Stars & Stripes]
You have potheads, crackheads, methheads, etc. but what do you call people who take animal tranquilizers to get high? Dogheads?

"what do you call people who take animal tranquilizers to get high?"
Tranquil.
Saying ketamine is "an animal tranquilizer" is like saying that Tetracycline is an animal antibiotic or steak and corn are animal foods.
Ketamine is a CORE medicine in the World Health Organization's "Essential Drugs List" (a list of minimum medical needs for a basic health care system for PEOPLE).
The War on Drugs could be taken more seriously if the propaganda wasn't so transparent.
A good question is, how did these idiots come to the attention of the police.

I bet that they were both command sponsored and AIP participants.

AIP, probably; command sponsored, unlikely.

I am one of the soldiers questioned regarding ketamine use. Myself and other soldiers became friends with a prominent Korean body-builder who, unbeknownst to us was being investigated by the Korean police for a violent crime. He was tested for drugs after being apprehended and tested positive for ketamine. He told the police that he got it from a soldier that he met at my house. It is a complete fabrication. Myself and another soldier are being investigated for alleged marijuana use currently, not ketamine. The US government allowed our rights to be violated by the Korean police by forcing us to submit to both hair and urine tests. We were forced to painfully remove 50 clumps of hair, and the urine was collected in paper cups from a coffee machine and sealed in non-sterile plastic vials by a detective using a cigarette lighter. I advise anyone reading this to not take for granted the protections and privileges afforded to American citizens within the US justice system. The corruption and negligence of the South Korean government has been demonstrated first-hand to all of us involved in this farce. God bless America!
