New street drug discovered in Canberra is ‘ketamine’s cousin’, doctors say
Dubbed CanKet, the ketamine ‘close cousin’ is considered particularly unsafe because its effects are unknown
A new recreational drug related to ketamine has been identified for the first time thanks to Australia’s only fixed-site pill-testing clinic, clinicians say. Â
They have dubbed the substance ‘CanKet’ after the city of Canberra and have since found three further samples from clients who thought it was ketamine.Â
