Reports of pill parties and kids selling Special K is under investigation by RCMP.
A social media post circulating on the weekend was addressed to W.L. Seaton parents about a group of youth selling ketamine, also known as Special K.
“These kids are also taking their parents medication, tossing them into a bowl and calling it a Pharm Party,” the post reads.
The RCMP has been notified.
“The information has been reported to us and is currently under investigation,” Vernon North Okanagan RCMP offier Cpl. Tania Finn said.
The Vernon School District has also been notified, but it remains a police matter. The youth is not a student in the district.
Ketamine is a fast-acting anesthetic used in medical or veterinary surgery (generally as a liquid). But when sold illegally it is generally a powder. It produces a sense of detachment. Odourless and colourless, ketamine is often used as a date rape drug, according to Health Canada.
