Ketamine devastates British children: over 30 tons used in one year

British drug users consumed over 30 tons of ketamine in a single year — a substance originally used only as an anesthetic and painkiller. Children and teenagers are increasingly turning to the drug, ending up in hospitals with so-called ketamine bladder, a permanent and difficult-to-treat urinary tract injury. Doctors warn that organ damage in minors could be catastrophic.
