University of Manchester is the Russell Group uni with students doing the most ket

A drug survey conducted by The Tab has found The University of Manchester to be the Russell Group university where the most students consume ketamine.

The Tab survey revealed that 19 per cent of UK university students have tried it once, and 22 percent of students use it regularly.

Ketamine (also known as K, Ket, Special K or Super K) is a general anaesthetic which reduces sensations in the body.

FRANK reports that ketamine trip can last for a couple of hours, and the effects of ketamine can cause you to feel confused, nauseated, and alter your perception of space and time..

The Tab survey of 6,000 UK uni students found that students at the University of Manchester consumed more ketamine than all the other Russell Group universities.

One University of Manchester graduate told The Manchester Tab: “I’m not surprised, in Manchester it was weird if you didn’t have ket on a night out.”

The Tab survey data was analysed by Constance Vielma, and each university was assigned a “ket score”.

This took into account how much ketamine students said they used, how often they used it, and how many students there are at the particular uni.

The University of Manchester’s “ket score” was 2.13, 0.26 higher than The University of Bristol in second place.

One final year University of Liverpool student told The Manchester Tab: “I’ve never seen ket use like I have in Manchester. I thought it was bad in Liverpool but Manchester is another level”.
