    A few grams of ket

    20p per bag

    I never knew it was slang for sweets in the 60s.. I heard someone talking about ket the other day (an innocent woman) and I just had to pull her on it before looking it up on Google..

    Definition 3!

    I bet there were some raised eyebrows for anyone looking in this forum.. no I am not selling any drugs. Sorry.

    I remember the first ever event I went to where I knew nothing about drugs bar pills & coke & remember crazy Jimi asking anyone if they had any ket. I honestly thought he meant sweets.

    First time I heard this was on a home visit to this woman who had a 3 year old son. She was like "he wouldn't stop whinging so in the end I went out and bought him some ket" I thought, surely to god this woman isn't admitting this to a social worker. Then he came in the room with his ket and I realised what it was!
