The naming convention is strange from a chemist standpoint. (R,S) are the old latin names, S being SINISTER, which adopts its current connotations from the cultural context of left-handedness being looked down upon historically. (D,L) are the more recent ones with regard to each chirality being polarizable within light. The ketamine names aren't even using (R) or (S), but opted to just put it at the front of the pronouncable word. It's like calling them Deketamine vs Elketamine. | The naming convention is strange from a chemist standpoint.

"In a legal context, a narcotic drug is simply one that is totally prohibited, or one that is used in violation of strict governmental regulation, such as cocaine and marijuana. From a pharmacological standpoint, it is a vague and ineffectual term."<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcotic</ref> | |||
