Newcastle student’s mum says Ketamine should be class A

Ketamine can cause serious health problems including irreversible damage to the bladder and kidneys.

Professor Paul Gill, from Northumbria University, said: “It has a long term impact on the bladder and urinary tract but we still don’t know an awful lot about the longer term consequences on the body.”

Sandra, who now works with the DMS Foundation which teaches schoolchildren about the dangers of drugs, hopes “change” will come from this latest review.

“I have said previously in my requests for reclassification, please do not let Jeni’s death fall into the statistics of our country.

“Please can I know that her death has not been in vain.”

Independent experts are currently assessing the evidence of the health and social harms of ketamine misuse and will submit their findings to Home Office ministers for review.
