New legal drug ‘MKETing’ out of hand
Joe Softley and Samuel Earle report for the Univeristy of York’s York Vision on students experiences of a new drug which can be bought legally online:
Students are at serious risk after reported uses of a new drug MKET around and off-campus.
The dangerous drug, also known as ‘roflcoptr’ or ‘sexy-mexy’, is freely available online as it falls into the drugs “grey-market”.
However, MKET explicitly states it is not for human consumption on its packaging.
Priced at around £17 per gram, less than half the average street price of cocaine, the drug is “much cheaper than a normal night out and affordable for students like us,” one University of York self-confessed addict told Vision.
Vision has uncovered numerous cases of abuse and misuse of the dangerous drug from University of York students.
A second-year student, who wished to remain anonymous, relayed her horrific ‘MKET’ experience in York to Vision reporters.
“One moment I started uncontrollably vomiting, the world started throbbing and my eyes rolled back into my head. I started panicking [...] I have about three hours where I blacked out. When I came back I had bitten through my lip.”
