A call has gone out in the UK to have Ketamine reclassified from a Class C to a Class B drug.
The substance - more commonly known as a horse tranquilliser - has been a popular drug in the club scene over the past decade.
Ketamine brings about a feeling of euphoria and separation for the user; it also carries some very serious and damaging side-effects.
Users can suffer from long-term bladder damage, and in some cases, over usage has resulted in death.
Dr Kirsten Wafer works in the drug and alcohol team - she says the drug has had a constant presence in the Island over the last ten years:
