'''Schmeow''' is a humorous term used to descibe Ketamine. Ketamine is an anesthetic that has been approved for both
human and
animal use in medical settings since 1970; about 90 percent of the ketamine legally sold is intended for use by cats. It can be injected or snorted.
Although Schmeow is a relatively new term, its origins can be traced to the house
party/rave scene in and around the University of Arizona and the greater Tucson area. Its use began popping up in the Tucson area durring the spring of
2009. Schmeow'
s availability and affordability are greatly enhanced by the regions close proximity to the Mexican border.
