ACMD recommends reclassifying ketamine

25th February 2014

The UK Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) has recommended that ketamine be controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 as a Class B substance (currently Class C) and that there should be a consultation on reclassifying ketamine as Schedule II of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 (currently Schedule 4 part 1). This is based on the evidence of chronic bladder and urinary tract toxicity. The government minister for crime prevention has accepted these recommendations.
