    Cocaine 7 years addict .Psilocybin containing mushrooms treatment actually saved my life honestly from addiction to cocaine and severe depression. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

      they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.

    I’m from the USA and I like 60 minutes Australia because you report actual news. You are what journalists should be. I wish you luck on your drug problem. Unfortunately as long as there is a demand the drugs will always pour into the country just like in the USA.

      I agree, there's been talk of complete control over the drug trade all my life, it's been around for centuries...
      They'll never ever stop it unless they 100% lock down our whole society all the time, only than will it become more restricted though never eradicated, there's plenty of seeds in circulation.
      Best chance is through responsible use & education, why leave drugs exclusively for Pharma billionaire's..?

      I had a friend years ago that was like 16 years old at the time that was surfing one day on a small beach not very populated in my area during the cold months and you can drive on. Huge packages of cocaine started washing up on shore and he was loading his van up but got pulled over a couple miles past the gates. He ended up on the front page of the news. About 20 years later I met the man who owned the shrimp boat the dope came off of. I was dating his nephew at the time. It was a small world back in the day growing up in a small beach town in Florida. Those were the days!!

      @@441rider Well it's not illegal to ask Police for directions to anywhere...they don't have to provide them, but it's not illegal to ask....it's stupid, but not illegal. I live in Victoria just a ferry ride from Vancouver and I've lived here my whole life and Vancouver is no different then it always has been. It's a port that most illrgal narcotics are smuggled into Canada through so naturally it will have a higher amount of drug use and drug violence then other major cities. I still feel safer in Vancouver where less gun violence and shootings occur in a single year then it does in most American states in a single month. Even in Vancouver I have never felt the need to arm myself or have a weapon to feel safe. In any American city I can't say the same thing. So I see America as a bizarro World, not anywhere in Canada. Also our health care system recognizes addiction as a disease and not just a criminal act of being an addict and so anyone can seek medical assistance for their drug addictions without fear of ending up in a jail cell instead of a treatment facility like in the USA. Alsi our medical system must provide funding for drug rehab and addiction where as American Insurance providers can and will choose not to provide coverage for addictions.....leading to so many being incarcerated and in jail for simple possessions of drugs like the USA's jails are filled with right now. We perfer to get them help if they want it rather then stigmatize them as criminals and arrest and jail them for it

    • @2000sborton
      @2000sborton ปีที่แล้ว

      That is the last thing that the cartels want. As a result, they invest large volumes of cash to ensure that it remains illegal. Everything from lobbying legislators to setting up anti-drug non profits. On this drug crazed planet black has become white and vice versa.
      Few of these drugs are actually harmful on their own, as long as you can maintain a steady and reliable supply after becoming addicted. The real harm comes from problems associated with it's legality and the stigma that goes along with being a drug addict. And of course the problems of overdosing, because you never know the actual purity or composition of what you are using. Things such as exorbitant cost and unsure supply. The effort and lengths that you have to go to hide your addiction, and the poverty that comes along with that, are the source of the majority of negative effects of the use of these substances. Things like not seeking medical help for abscessed puncture marks, living on the streets and not maintaining anything close to a regular diet are just a few of the problems that an addict encounters.

    Well, that makes it easy to make small time busts, anyway. Just look for the wealthy folks at high price clubs, because that stuff adds up to be _insanely expensive_ down under!
    Only the very rich can use it often. Hope you are looking internally for "bad actors" in police/government in 🇦🇺 . The cocaine business, with the amount of money involved, makes it more appealing than the high itself! Not like the U.S isn't a sieve - oceans, gulfs, seas, islands, harbors and thousands of miles of coastlines combine to make "drug by yacht" a problem in every coastal State (oh... and 5 great lakes, too!) Planes, trains, automobiles, boats, subs, humans... it's endless. Scary.

    I am from the U.S., and yes drugs are common here as well. The thing we all should understand is if there was not a demand for this, no one would export it. Like most countries you probably intercept 5%.
    The most important concept is why there is so much demand in out citizens. What is wrong with people today who demand these drugs? I have no idea.

As long as our government (Australia) pretend that this drug problem doesn't exist the future doesn't look good

    Great reporting ! Please do a story on why so many people want to do cocaine or any drug at this point. The last town I lived in was consumed by fentanyl and meth. There were terrible addicts of course and regular customers but it seemed like the drugs were going around in circles being resold and upsold and not consumed over and over again. The drug dealers were so getting frustrated that there were a few stories where dealers actually were bullying people to buy their product !😂
