It irks me because ketamine is a very useful drug in the right hands and can be extremely safely used for any manner of indications in humans and animals (again, in the right hands).

This abuse is only adding to the difficulties in obtaining (legally), safely storing, and transporting. Yes, it is a scheduled drug (III) already. Obviously that doesn't seem to mean anything to some really corrupt physicians (and others) diverting it.
