Résumé :
The rise in non-prescribed use of ketamine across the UK in recent years is concerning because of the potential effects on physical and mental wellbeing and overall quality of life. Despite its classification as a class B drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, public awareness of the risks and long term harms associated with ketamine remains insufficient. [Extract]
