Ketamine is the opium of the People


China has been quite quiet until those massive explosions yesterday.

The old boys decided to devalue the Yuan, so they could keep their exports cheaper than the neighbour's, because they have been experiencing a bit of a down-turn in productivity.

All those 'legal highs' which have been pouring out of China faster than they can be classified - simply amphetamines with a slightly different molecular structure to the last batch - are about to become blanket-banned by us, and about time too.

The thing is that the ghastly drug, Ketamine, is now the drug of choice for many Chinese people and, believe me, it really is horrible. I have seen the results. The government doesn't know what to do with all the addicts. Shooting them in the back of the head just doesn't seem to work with Ketamine addicts. They hardly notice.

Confucius, where are you when you are needed?

  1. The UK is the ketamine capital of Europe. Norwich is full of ketamine users. We have a high rate of ketamine bladder here. Believe me, I am not making it up. A blanket ban, sounds like it is nearly too late.

    1. It is a disgusting drug. Sorry about Norfolk. I think it has reached crisis point in China by all accounts.

    2. If the UK is ketamine capital of Europe it is not just Norfolk.

    3. All I was saying was that - from what you say - Norwich has more than Bath. And I didn't mean Somerset either.

    4. Bristol makes up for Bath's lack.

    5. I think that's true - there was a brief dabble with it here a couple of years ago.

  2. Heroin is rising again in the US now that prescription drugs are harder to get. Unfortunately, Mexico can give the addicts anything they want. I asked my brother once (he was an addict and alcoholic) why he did it? He said, "because it makes me happy". I thought that was so sad. He died at age 45.

    1. The Taliban supplies the U.S. with most of it's heroin. At the time when the U.S. was burning as many opium poppy fields as they could find (not many) there was a world-wide shortage of opiate pain-killers for the medical profession. It would have solved so many problems if the U.S. and British government legalised and controlled the production for legitimate means. It would have made honest men of the farmers too.

    2. Sorry, I didn't mean to overshadow your brother. Yes, that is a very sad thing to say, and was probably about as far from the truth you could get without lying.

    1. Well it was designed as a horse-tranquiliser, so that would have done the trick.

  4. Anything that will anaesthetise a horse can't be good for the kids (and ministers of the church) who use this shit. An import ban is long overdue.

    1. Those vets would lose a lot of money though. The fee for putting-down Fido would have to go up.

  5. I hope the blanket ban is effective. If anyone in the UK has figured out how to make it himself, he's probably grinning at all the newfound business he'll get. Sad.
