It also has bladder toxicity issues, it's not uncommon for ketamine addicts to piss blood AIUI. In extreme cases bladders have required permanent removal.
Edit: VICE even named their recent Ketamine episode "Pissing Blood" for this reason. [0]

I had no idea this was a thing until the morning after I woke up from my first time partying around people who were using it. Someone took a leak and I hear, "Hah! Yep, there's the good ol' orange K piss," and I couldn't help but be surprised that it sounded like they were laughing at the fact they were pissing blood.
I should clarify - nothing against ketamine in small doses recreationally, just take care of yourself.
I have to call you on that.
Very irresponsible to say things like that with out context.
Like: Where does that factoid come from? Compare it to other known neuro toxins - alcohol obviously.
No. I will not take that seriously. "magnetic resonance imaging" of brains has very little value (not none) yet. I would pay attention to behavioural studies.
I hate ketamine. I hate its effects on me, and I really hate its effects on my friends. Makes them blithering boring idiots. I would not be devastated if there were serious health effects of moderate ketamine use (as there are for alcohol)
But this is bullshit anti drug propaganda. Just because the drug it is attacking is IMO a horrible drug, does not make it better
You have to use high doses extremely regularly for this to happen. The vast majority of users do not use it at high enough dosage or frequency to get anywhere near this.
