Here's how rogue dealers flogging ‘bad batches’ and slipping cards under freshers’ doors have sparked fresh UK drugs crisis

Just a day after Sandra Foster Larmour dropped “beautiful princess” Jeni, 18, off for her freshers' week at Newcastle University, she was dead.

According to Office for National Statistics figures, 92 people died from MDMA and ecstasy poisoning that year, more than doubling in a decade.Disturbingly, 25 years after ecstasy victim Leah Betts’s death made the country sit up and start taking the dangers of party drugs seriously, cocaine and ecstasy use is on the rise.

Another uses WhatsApp to order cocaine: “Once I said I wanted it at a specific time at my house because I was planning a Game of Thrones-watching marathon. The guy arrived bang on time and the deal was done in seconds." And some ketamine was found to be 2-FDCK, a synthetic drug around one-and-a-half times more powerful.Credit: FacebookHarry Shapiro, director of Drugwise, said: “What's a good batch? That’s the point.

"There’s no chance of an experienced first responder or drug worker like you have at festivals for example. “We can’t arrest our way out of that anymore than we can arrest our way out of serious violence. We need to tackle the drivers behind it.”Bereaved mum Janine Milburn instead wants drug-testing facilities made widely available to keep youngsters safe.
