UNIVERSITY freshers have been warned to watch out for student drug dealers who make as much as £4,000-a-week selling ‘Calvin Klein’ cocaine cocktails.
Dealers are reportedly mixing the class A drug with substances like ketamine, in campuses across the UK.
The horrific combination combination can “wreak havoc on the brain’s chemical system, greatly impairing overall brain functioning”, it has been reported.
It cost, Katya Tsukanova, 17, one of Britain’s brightest up-and-coming musicians, her life last month.
She was found collapsed from a suspected overdose by her millionaire Russian-born banker father Igor Tsukanov in the early hours of June 18, The Telegraph reported.
Katya was rushed to hospital where medics battled desperately to save her.
But she died after apparently taking a deadly mix of cocaine and ketamine known as a “Calvin Klein.”
And Oxford University student Max Mian, 19, also died after taking ketamine.
‘IT’S LIKE AMAZON’
One dealer who recently graduated from the University of Birmingham, told the Mail on Sunday: “On average, I’m selling 100 bags across the weekend for £40 a go.
“More and more people want ket. There’s a massive demand for it.”
He claims to buy the drugs from the dark web, before posting it to buyers and likens the entire process to Amazon.
Ian Hamilton, an addiction lecturer at the University of York told the newspaper: “Ketamine is a nasty drug and then there are all the issues around cocaine, which strengthens the impact.
“This combination has become more popular in Britain.”

More than a million Brits have put their lives on the line by using it in the last year, with many seeing it as a drug without consequences – even though experts warn it can trigger depression, paranoia and suicidal thoughts.
More than one in ten British adults have tried cocaine, double the EU average and use among young people is surging, with 20 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds taking it in the past year.
The drug can have a profound impact on users’ mental health, as the devastating deaths of Love Island’s Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon show.
Earlier this year The Sun Online launched our End Of The Line campaign to combat cocaine use.
The campaign has also been backed by organisations including charities SANE and DrugFAM, as well as doctors across the country.
End Of The Line
Cocaine use is reaching epidemic levels in Britain, with the UK branded the ‘Coke capital’ of Europe.
Use has doubled in the last five years, and with young people the numbers are even worse.
A staggering one in five 16-to-24-year-olds have taken cocaine in the last year.
That’s why The Sun has launched its End Of The Line campaign, calling for more awareness around the drug.
Cocaine use can cause mental health problems such as anxiety and paranoia, while doctors have linked the rise in cheap, potent coke to an increase in suicide rates.
People from all walks of life, from builders and labourers to celebrities like Jeremy McConnell – who is backing our campaign – have fallen foul of its lure.
It’s an issue that is sweeping the UK and, unless its tackled now, means a mental health crisis is imminent.
