The Fun Police and I were having a discussion over this a couple of weeks ago when the radio suggested that 10% of the Adelaide adult population is an ice user.

I didn't believe it, it's trying to say one in every ten people I know is on it?


I think the national number was something like 6% and the SA number was around 8%, this is a number devised from testing at waste treatment plants so I don't really know how they arrive at that conclusion.
PAFC. Forever.

Why would I be upset, I love robust confrontation. One thing I can’t stand is treating people like babies, I deal with **** at work all day and I give them abuse and expect back the other way

Doesn’t mean it’s evenly distributed - would be groups of people where it’s 0% (maybe your and my social circles) and then other groups would be much higher

We distinctly heard 10% on the radio, I can only find literature stating less. and yes, what can the waste water really determine accurately?

Yeah, growing up in the northern suburbs I thought I'd be confronted with it or hear more about it than what I do.

I'm that far away from knowing what they do with it I was looking at people strangely because they were sucking on one of those vape thingy's, I thought that was a fancy ice pipe at first.

Without having proof, I reckon most people on here would know people that use, without being aware of it.

I would have thought everyone on here would know and be aware of someone that uses.

I thought you just dripped that on top of your packed cone.

Is that stuff still around?

You think it'll be harder to get and more expensive if it was legalised?[/quote]
Do we want to limit access and increase the price? Or actually solve the problem of drug addiction?

When someone is willing to rob a petrol station after already selling everything they have just to feed a habit, the "threat" of a criminal conviction for drug use aint going to do shit other than put these people further into a spiral.

The price is also moot. As one drug goes up in price, people find a cheaper alternative. The cheaper the product, usually the more dangerous the ingredients - again, causing more issues.[/quote]


How does legalising it help solve the problem of drug addiction?
Like you said the price of it is almost irrelevant and making it easier to access(even thought it's easy already) won't fix that problem.[/quote]

What I meant was what country's have the most severe penalties for drugs suppliers / users? And do those penalties work in reducing the amount of drug users / suppliers.

If booze was made illegal today we'd all be on MT79s doorstep handing over fistful of cash for his homebrew.
