Horse tranquiliser ketamine is the party drug of choice for this generation, a report has revealed. The number of users has doubled in just four years as 'Special K' becomes increasingly popular with young people - particularly in the South West. Ketamine was the biggest riser in the UK drugs market last year, according to DrugScope's annual survey.

Although relatively harmless in small doses, ketamine can cause psychological dependency and leave users helpless and vulnerable. It can be even more dangerous when mixed with alcohol or other drugs.
