Half of ketamine sampled may contain super-strength tranquilliser ‘Xylazine’. #news #manchester

Researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University published the GM Trends survey, which found a huge range in purity of samples.

Some were 47% pure while others reached 99% purity per gram of substance.

This can cause huge concern if authorities struggle to know what’s in circulation.

The government are currently considering whether to make ketamine a class A drug, up from its current classification of a class B.
