The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission's (ACIC) latest report found that in December 2021, methylamphetamine consumption in Australia was the highest per capita when compared with nations in Europe, Asia and Oceania.
For the first time since 2017, the use of methylamphetamine, cocaine and MDMA in Australian capital cities outstripped regional areas.
Perth is the new meth capital of Australia while regional New South Wales has the most meth use among rural Australia.

What do we do?
No one, worldwide, has found a way of stopping it and the police seem incapable of controlling it. People actually *want* to ingest this crap into their bodies. Other than for a very small number of addicts I do not accept the argument that it's a medical condition. I think it's part of the massive on-going degradation of Western societies we have witnessed over the past 30 years or so. Let's build a town with big walls and stick all the "waste of space" people in there, give them a food delivery once a week and let them live as they wish.

Scumbags were dealing drugs out of the block of units next door. The worthless cops did nothing. The scumbag on the other side was growing dope in his backyard. He and his wife were both cocaine addicts. Once again the cops did nothing. The other neighbours were gutless garbage and wouldn't support me.
The Greens now want to push for a law that allows users of "medical" dope to legally drive a vehicle whilst affected. I can't see myself ever voting for them.
It's time we stopped thinking of drug users as victims. We should revert to dealing with them as the criminals that they really are. There was a time when I had some sympathy for them, but now the meth heads are everywhere and they're putting our safety at risk.

Guess what this what you get when you elect leftist, green and woke inspired governments.
In a previous thread I highlighted how the ACT government is about to decriminalise drug use, but make the consumption of a legal product harder.
As a young bloke in the 60's drug haze, I never saw the need to touch that garbage, I was a smoker but never had a puff of mary Jane, as a truck driver never used yippie beans.
Bloody double standard government its ok to grow your own weed for personal consumption, but its illegal to grow a tobacco plant for personal consumption.
Australian leads meth use among 20-odd countries:
