What we do

Educate

We publish clear, youth-friendly content on how ketamine affects memory, mood, and risk of overdose—separating facts from hype.

Fund

We support research into long-term brain impacts and why some people are more vulnerable to harm.

Advocate

We push for smarter prevention policies that reduce harm without stigma or confusion.

The Ketamine Awareness Project (Ketamine Project) is a nonprofit effort focused on education, research, and policy. We exist to raise awareness of the dangers of recreational ketamine use, especially among young people.
