Today in scare stories: ketamine!

Luckily, the UK's Daily Mail came to the rescue with an article that is perfectly summed up by its headline:

Why the wealthy young elite are switching from cocaine to the deadlier drug ketamine, the horse tranquillisers used on injured soldiers in Vietnam

As you dive in, you'll find hilarious anecdotes such as these:

[Max] first tried the drug by accident, thinking it was cocaine, and took too much. He recalls very little of what happened afterwards, but woke naked on his friend's bathroom floor....

'People do really weird things that you couldn't even imagine normally,' he says. 'Often, everyone gets involved in the same hallucination. Once, we suddenly all thought we were in the sea and started swimming.'

But this drug is DANGEROUS! It does, like, BAD STUFF to people! You know - just like LSD:

'There is, too, the potential for overdose, which could cause a stroke or heart attack. Long-term, the effects are like LSD. It leaves users with nasty hallucinations, nightmares, severe anxiety and insomnia.'

But the "wealthy elite" could care less. I mean, check this shit out, as our fearless reporter watches a pair of "wealthy elite" women come up on ketamine:

After stuttering momentarily, Bella lies back on the rug and stays silent. Joanna stands up and looks around the room as if she has never seen it before, her face flicking through a series of emotions - shock, joy, confusion, anger. It's terrifying to watch.

You hear that? Emotions are TERRIFYING TO WATCH! Stop having them, especially with DRUGS!

Anyway, the article's fun for a laugh.
