Drugs in Aus
 
Sitting here listening to Radio One and Kelly Os telling us all about how drugs are not a good idea... What is the drug situation is Aus? Is cannabis acceptable (ish) in the same way it is in the UK? And cocaine, which more and more of the people I know seem to have tried... Rec. drug use in Aus - discuss...

You seem very anxious, I'd lay off the weed for a bit, man.

Ice seems to be 'the' drug here, but I don't know anyone who uses it.

When I asked my 15 year old about drugs in school he told me that all his friends do them, however when I asked him what type they did, he said they all smoked cigarettes :lol:

The weather means the quality is way better down here man. Look up Nimbin in Google for a glimpse of Aussie drug culture.

I don't know that cannabis is acceptable (even "ish") anywhere... There are huge drug problems here in Australia with Ice being the tip of the berg...

The only place it is "acceptable" to do drugs appears to be at football clubs where just about anything goes.....

Aye, those legal (taxed) drugs are OK but the illegal (untaxed) drugs are the scourge of modern society ... as I have mentioned before on these here boards we cleared out the remains of a drug lab here when we moved in.

It was just a bit of dope I think, they didn't leave any either ... maybe the chickens ate it all ... it would explain their recent behaviour ... 'Eggs? Through my butt? For that lot to eat? Nah not today ...'

Not really in those social circles (married, parent, etc, etc) but I'd imagine if you were looking for something then you could find it. There seems to be a lot of busts out in the sticks and The Valley in Brisbane is rife with gear ... I base this judgement not on first-hand experience but by observation ;)

There is loads and loads of crystal meth (ice) in Perth right now.

It's a real scourge, one of my best mates has gone and become addicted to this sh*t and it doesn't look too good for him.

You should come to the US! Drugs are everywhere. Crystal Meth is very, very scary. When I go back to the UK, not many people have heard of it yet. Here, it is causing so many problems.
