A GRIEVING mum has told how her son died in agony after becoming addicted to ketamine.<\/p>\n

Rian Rogers, 26, had his bladder shrunk to the size of a marble while hooked to the popular Class B party drug.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Urologists are reporting seeing thousands of young people a year dealing with \u201cketamine bladder\u201d – which occurs from overuse.<\/p>\n

Sufferers become completely incontinent – forcing them to fill bottles with bloodied urine through the night.<\/p>\n

Clare Rogers has now told how her son Rian was found dead in a shower with a fatal dose of ketamine in his body while on the waiting list to have his bladder removed.<\/p>\n

Clare told The Times: \u201cThis drug is a killer. It is taking bladders from young children. <\/p>\n

Ketamine was discovered in 1962 and was used in casualty clearing stations in the Vietnam War as an anesthetic.<\/p>\n

But its mind-altering effects have made it a popular party drug and the hallucinatory experience is commonly known as being K-holed.<\/p>\n

It was not until the late 1980s and the arrival of rave culture that it really took off as a recreational drug.<\/p>\n

Clare had spent thousands of pounds sending her son to rehab, but he had already begun to take more ketamine to numb the pain of his bladder problems.<\/p>\n

By then Rian had developed an ulcerated bladder, a common side effect of prolonged, heavy ketamine use, and was in intense pain.<\/p>\n

Scans showed his bladder capacity had shrunk from the regular 500ml to just 90ml.<\/p>\n

Clare previously told The Sun: \u201cRian was sporty and bright, with so many friends. He had everything to live for, but ketamine took all that away.\u201d<\/p>\n

But when his best friend died in a road accident while high on the drug in 2018, Rian\u2019s usage escalated.<\/p>\n

Clare said: \u201cHe hardly drank and didn\u2019t do any other drugs, but ketamine became his tool to help him deal with his grief, numbing his pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The drug has a false reputation for being \u201csafe\u201d \u2014 many youngsters believe it can\u2019t kill and are unaware of the possible fatal consequences.<\/p>\n

After Rian's death Home Office minister Chris Philp wrote to Rian's MP Chris Tracey suggesting the Government is looking into reclassifying the drug.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cIf you have evidence that there are systemic harms caused by ketamine on a widespread scale, which may mean reconsideration of the classification from class B to class A is merited, then please do share this with the Home Office and I will make sure that it is considered very carefully.\u201d<\/p>\n
