Reclassify Ketamine as a Class A drug

What the petition asks
We believe that ketamine use is a rising problem amongst the 18-30 age range, and feel that the damage it can cause to people’s bodies can be rapid and detrimental. It’s appearing that ketamine can make visible and detrimental damage to people’s bodies within a very short timeframe.
We believe it needs to be brought to attention that this could be a serious problem within the local communities and people are not talking about it enough. We think that reclassifying ketamine as a class A drug could increase the information or knowledge on its potential dangers and what it can do to your body. We feel that more coverage and recognition could stop people taking it.
