Drug Alerts Harm Reduction

Drugs warning: substance being sold as ketamine

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Following reports in London of a substance in circulation that is being sold as ketamine, which is unfortunately hospitalising a number of people who are taking it, a warning has been issued by The Warehouse Project. This warning has been re-shared by Manchester Drug Analysis Exchange (MANDRAKE), whose alerts we share on Student News, and can be found below.

“Following reports in London of a substance in circulation that is being sold as ketamine, which is unfortunately hospitalising a number of people who are taking it, we wanted to send out a warning to everyone who may come into contact with it.

“Symptoms are similar to a ‘K-hole’ but similarities end there, with side effects being much worse in terms of difficulties breathing and responsiveness.

“Various venues in London have reported cases of this happening in the past week and could happen in further locations across the country.

“If in doubt, don’t take it and look out for one another on the dance floor”.

Support for students who take drugs

The safest way to take drugs is not at all. However, we recognise that a number of students choose to use drugs whilst at university.
