Ketamine: What You Need to Know – The Conversation  

Drugs are an unavoidable issue in the modern educational environment in the UK. Smoking behind the bike sheds was once undertaken to mark oneself out, as an outcast. A rogue to a particular peer group that made that individual ‘cool’. As a result their social stock would increase alongside their status within the year group. For a while that position had been overtaken by cannabis, but particularly older pupils have to keep pushing the boundaries. Harder drugs such as speed, ecstasy or in the case of this article ‘Ketamine’ are now the next level of that old formula. Known better as a raver’s drug previously used as a horse tranquiliser, it is now seeing usage in the educational environment. However, unlike better recognised substances such as cocaine and cannabis, ketamine is not as widely known. Yet that hasn’t stopped it becoming more prevalent. The Conversation has recently published an article looking at this drug in detail. If interested in being better armed to deal with narcotic issues in your school, then please follow the link below:
