Difficult to track
The emergence of ketamine on the synthetic drug scene has gone unnoticed in many parts of the world. Unlike illicit drugs, the trade in ketamine is not internationally controlled. This makes it hard to get a clear picture of how the drug is being diverted for illicit purposes. "We're seeing the use of ketamine taking off, but it's up to Member States and national governments to control it. Anyway, it seems that the use is growing both in developing countries and in the west", Douglas says.
To throw more light on the issue, UNODC recently launched the Global Synthetics Monitoring: Analysis, Reporting and Trends (SMART) Programme ( more information - pdf brochure). SMART teams will work with governments to develop, assess and report data and information on synthetic drugs, enabling countries to plan prevention and law enforcement responses.
