Ketamine "Overdose" story

[Ismene2]

Story in the Daily Heil about a mother demanding K be made class A after her son overdosed on it. I read on because I was curious to see how he could've "overdosed" on K.. then I reach this bit below. Can you accidentally "overdose" a level as big as that - or is it more likely someone attempting sucide with K?

Dr Stephen Morley, a toxicologist from University Hospital Leicester, told the inquest ketamine users usually have less than 100 nanograms per millilitre of blood to feel pleasurable effects.

He said levels above 200 would be enough to put a person to sleep, but Rian had a reading of 3,212 - likely enough to cause him to stop breathing.

Mother calls for ketamine to be made Class A after her son was killed

Clare Rogers, 47, believes the Class B party drug is more dangerous than people make out after her son Rian Rogers died from a dose in April last year.

Self medicating gone wrong.

Ketamine in the UK is utter shite right now, drug laws are probably what caused this guys death. Fuck knows what the bash is.

That's a Daily Mail article alright. I'm surprised there wasn't a petition attached to the end of it.

And despite the impressive wordcount it doesn't do a very good job explaining the circumstances around his death. He was a long term addict so I doubt he just took too much and stopped breathing, it even possible to take that much in one go, with a tolerance? It said he was found in the bathroom, maybe he fell?

Tragic anyway whatever the exact cause. We'd better raise ketamine to class A immediately so we can keep these addicts in prison where they're safe.

as it says : Dr Morley ruled Rian's death was caused by an accident after he collapsed in the shower after unluckily taking an extremely powerful dose.

yeah basic daily fail shitpost.... "died from a dose of ketamine" and She spent thousands of pounds sending her son to rehab and flushed his drugs down the toilet in a bid to stop his substance abuse.

It is probably something like Matthew Perry's death, ketamine in the system but other factors (buprenorphine) involved. The family is grieving and wants justice.

Ah there you go paragraph 23 I knew it had to be in there somewhere.

He fell... Just another day in British tabloid journalism.

Apparently that guy from Matthew Perry from friends died because of ketamine making his heart stop, but he was also addicted to speed balls so I'm not sure how much of a role that played in him dying.

He drowned in his hot tub I think. Ketamine and water really don't mix well.
