Calls for more action on ketamine in the UK after death of 18-year-old

The mother of an 18-year-old girl who died after taking ketamine on her first night at university has called for UK police and the government to take its dangers more seriously. The number of young people taking ketamine has tripled in Britain in recent years. Sandra Larmour now visits schools, warning young people of the risks, but she wants government action too. "The political leaders of the country need to take it seriously, and the only way that I believe it can be taken seriously is if the sentences are increased," she said. Home Office figures show ketamine is the country's fourth most popular illegal drug.
