Abbie's experience with ketamine highlights the drug's appeal to young people coping with mental health challenges. Since starting at 16, the drug provided a sense of control amidst persistent negative thoughts. Twelve years later, recovery remains a struggle. The rise in cases led to the establishment of the first UK clinic for children battling ketamine addiction, indicating a concerning trend as usage among under 16s has increased significantly. Ketamine's unique effects and low cost make it attractive, especially to those facing trauma or anxiety.
"Abbie was 16 years old when she started using ketamine. It was the first time she had felt in control. The negative thoughts that had swamped her mind since a young age began to dissipate."
"The number of under 16s reporting a problem with the drug has nearly doubled over the past two years, overtaking cocaine in popularity with children and young people."
