1.8% of people aged 16-24 used Ketamine between 2011 and 2012.

The number of people using the drug ketamine increased significantly over the last decade in the UK, while its price fell, a report has said.

You're right that meth isn't really a thing in the UK at all though. Speed, yes. Meth, hell no.

Ketamine is actually massive in the UK. Like, MDMA massive.

Even the models look like cheap tents in this!

Oh god, he was such a good character. Amazing that the show has managed to keep up with its quality with him gone. I am poised to watch Ozymandias again tonight and I may cry...again.

THANK YOU. I say this about Starbucks all the time! Their normal coffee tastes awful!

My question wasn't whether I should say anything to him. I never would. What I'm asking is whether it is NEVER okay for his loved ones to say anything to him, or whether its NEVER okay for anyone else to say it to their loved ones.

I'm sorry, so if your best friend or partner was smoking themselves to death, or perpetuating a coke habit, or shooting smack, you wouldn't ask them to stop?

That's actually a great response; it seems that trying to include someone in better health habits for the both of you is a way that's acceptable for most people. Thanks for your thoughts!

I'm not really asking if people think I should; I'm asking whether people think there is a point at which it is okay to do so, as you would someone who may be struggling with other addiction issues.

From your response, would you say that it would never be okay? And do you mind if I ask why? I completely agree that…

Of course; I completely understand. We have all been underweight / overweight / out of shape / struggling with food issues etc. at some point in our lives and these are always difficult emotional times. No one wants to put their loved ones under unnecessary emotional stress for any reason.

Thanks again for a calm…

I think you're right. I'm hearing a lot of people make the claim that there's no link between obesity and health issues, which is evidently not true.

Whether or not we support a person's right to be a certain way and love who they are (which of course we do), it seems somewhat ridiculous to claim that your health is…

Again, you're making a lot of assumptions about what I do and don't know, and what has or hasn't been told to him by doctors.

God, that sounds absolutely horrific. Tell your sister to take care too!

The therapist idea is a good one; like many of us with issues we'd prefer not to face, he tends to push things aside, but perhaps a therapist would be a good idea. Thanks for your considered response!

I'm not quite sure why you've assumed anything about my eating habits but I do take the point that his experience is…

Good advice too; thank you!

Thanks for your well considered response rather than other assuming that I'm skinny and I'm just out to shame him for my own sake!

I think your suggestions are good. I know that the weight / health issue is fraught with emotional tension in all directions and its never as simple an issue as we want it to be. We all…

I am not asking permission to judge him. I'm asking at what point is it okay to express concern for someone's obesity in the same way you would their starving themselves to death or taking too many drugs.

Why do you assume I'm skinny? Why assume that I think he doesn't know? We often KNOW when our habits are bad for us but we don't always stop smoking or stop drinking or stop taking drugs until something happens to make us rethink.

It IS affecting his health. Food can be an addictive substance just like anything else.…

I'm not suggesting they don't know. Smokers know that smoking isn't great for you; people know that taking a gram of coke every Saturday isn't great for you. But it often takes a little nudge from someone close to you to kick those habits too.

My question is whether there's any situation in which everyone thinks it is…
