💨 Abstract

Oliver Westall, a former ketamine addict, warns about the severe dangers of the drug after undergoing surgery to remove his bladder due to extensive damage from his habit, which began at age 16. Westall, now 25, emphasizes that ketamine is as harmful as crack and heroin, especially for young users who may perceive it as less dangerous. His addiction peaked at 28 grams per day, leading to severe health issues like "K cramps" and blood clots.
