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

Does it tell you where to get them from?

wilbur · 31/01/2006 11:11

rhubarb

wilbur · 31/01/2006 11:12

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?

colditz · 31/01/2006 11:13

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

it's a horse tranquillizer.

Rhubarb · 31/01/2006 11:14

vitamin k is a drug? Can just see it now, group of teenagers hanging round the offy getting off their heads on..........vitamin k!

Rhubarb · 31/01/2006 11:15

At least they'd be getting their vitamins! Right!

nailpolish · 31/01/2006 11:16

lol at vitamin K

dont you mean 'Special' K

wilbur · 31/01/2006 11:16

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.

colditz · 31/01/2006 11:18

can't you tell this is a mummies website and not a teenqager one! lol

Rhubarb · 31/01/2006 11:18

Yeah, what if we ban Special K and tell the kids that it's got drugs in it? Clutches of kids going around scoffing bowlfulls!

wilbur · 31/01/2006 11:19

Think it goes by the street name of Vitamin or Special K. Right on! Or should I say, Trot On!

nailpolish · 31/01/2006 11:20

im always amazed when people dont know anything about drugs. what i know is what i thought was common knowledge

special K is the street name for ketamine (honest!)

They showed a WRAP of imitation heroin at the begining of the show and it looked like brown sugar in cling film

wow i never knew that about you GDG (it is you isnt it?)

Rhubarb · 31/01/2006 11:22

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!

GDG · 31/01/2006 11:22

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.

GDG · 31/01/2006 11:22

Tis me nailpolish!

nailpolish · 31/01/2006 11:23

its not as grainy as sugar

more like dirty brown flour

nailpolish · 31/01/2006 11:23

GDG hello

GDG · 31/01/2006 11:23
wilbur · 31/01/2006 11:24

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.

Dinosaur · 31/01/2006 11:25
