IthacaA former Cornell student alleges seven fraternity members raped her after pressuring her to snort ketamine.
Potent ketamine powder can leave first-time users nearly catatonic.
Depending on dose, powdered ketamine ranges from introspection to immobility to sedation deep enough for surgery.
The men deny wrongdoing, and no criminal charges have been filed against any of them.
Health care providers say the case has cast unflattering attention on a drug valued for safety in clinics.
