SUPER-CHARGED 'Rhino ket' is the new drugs craze
YOUNG people are risking their lives with a "rhino ket" drug craze that has surged after rappers Kneecap glorified it in their music.
Health bosses in Scotland have warned of the rapid emergence of the drug, which turbocharges the horse tranquilliser drug ketamine by adding amphetamine.
The mix has been appearing more and more, leading to fears of addiction and death among those who take it.
One mother spoke out after her 16-year-old son allegedly sought out the drug after getting into the controversial Kneecap rap act-whose song Rhino Ket is one of their top anthems.
