A note on how the UK seems to be missing out on progressive research

I'm just leafing through the Wiki page on ketamine. Someone mentioned to
me it wasn't used as a horse tranquiliser however the Wiki page says

drug in the UK.


Anyway, here's the text
"

> </wiki/Alcoholism>^[25] <#cite_note-24> and heroin
> </wiki/Heroin> addiction </wiki/Substance_use_disorder>.
"

The paper on progressive treatment paradigms for first episode psychosis
by John Bola last year had studies from a few countries but once again
the UK was notably absent.
