THIS MORNING on ITV1 is having a phone in section with a drug consellor on later on this morning

He is going to show all the different drugs and what they look like etc.

And talk about what to look for as far as your children are concerned eg. symtoms and signs

IMHO it will be very informative

and you should watch

good idea tho kanga - once upon a time I would have been clued up about this, but I wouldn't know what some of the new drugs (vitamin K etc) look like. Tabs, wraps?

Vit K is ketamine, powder or liquid, quite cheap.

it's a horse tranquillizer.

Sadly, I know about vitamin K from listening to The Archers and Jazzer's unfortunate experience. God, that is soooo dull, am going to have to go and score something to cheer myself up.

Oh hang on, you don't mean medicine drugs!? Ha ha!

Er, not well up on recreational drugs no - know a bit about them from studies I've worked on but never actually taken any drugs myself so a bit naive about them.

So it does have drugs in it then? No wonder that girl on the ad always looks so smug! Going out now to get some!

I do know what heroin looks like - we have had a bag of beige grout knocking around the house for ages and the amount of people who have asked us if we're smack addicts. Ha ha.
