Ketamine is so incredibly generic it isn't funny. For a financial motive it would be pretty bad and not even evergreenable.
Personally I find a more likely cause would anti-prohibitionist Zeitgeist from other discoveries like MDMAs effectiveness for treating PTSD being unsuppressed leading to attempts to replicate it. That happens in a lot of fields - the big tobbaco lawsuit class actiond lead lawyers to jump on other industries as the next one without similarly solid evidence - like the old frenzy in trying to say cell phones cause cancer.

That's why you don't sell Ketamine, you sell Ketamine + an antacid or Ketamine in a timed relapse capsule and call it Relaxadol and have your friends in the FDA ensure it's the only approved treatment and not the generic Ketamine.
