Special K - Danger
No, not the breakfast cerial, which is probably very good for you, unless you pile on the sugar. Sugar is very bad for you and children brought up on sugar may well be "in training" for a life of drug dependency as they try and regulate the resultant highs and lows.
Those who want something harder may be out there buying E or Speed but in fact getting Ketamine. The danger with Ketamine is that an overdose can render the user into a state of semi unconsciousness, known as a "K-Hole". It is probably like going unconscious and it is that state where sexual preditors may take over.
Trouble is that people will not remember much about it or what happened. If you were to take Ketamine, it is rather essential to employ a minder who does not take anything. The same goes for LSD or other mind bending substances like GBH. Drugs like E (which Ketamine often replaces) do not tend to disable the person taking it. Speed just gives you an edgy time and ends up killing you and your brain.
Marijuana has no major side effects, but some people may faint (the media call that "collapse") if they take too much. Unlike a K Hole which lasts for hours, this is easily slept off. There are safer ways to party this holiday season.
Detective Inspector Gary Knowles, of the police national drug intelligence, said ketamine was one of the drugs "that for some reason has become popular again". Probably the big busts the police have achieved this year on other drugs make what is left more popular.
This points to a demand level that is not prevented by regulation or enforcement. It points to a culture that uses drugs to make believe that it has a good time.
A drug drought typically hits during the (holiday) season of high demand, and then kids who want to party stuff anything down their throats in an attempt to fit in with the scene, or an attempt to "feel fantastic". Party drugs are a culture that exists that provides a market that the law ignores to the peril of our children.
