It's pretty full on out there in the Aussie party scene, the amount of people that are using ice & the diversity of users backgrounds is really concerning. It only takes one stupid person in a particular social set to introduce it and it catches on like wildflower, I've seen it happen too many times.

Not to mention it's so easy to score these days, feels like there's an ice pipe behind every closed door at parties. Kids need to protected from that gear, it ruined me for many years, I hate to think about all the young (and old) lives it's going to completely mess up.

Thanks for this post Dee.
I live in south Australia. the Ice epidemic as they call it has become out of control here. Its everywhere and drug dealers use couriers to disperse it.
Its the drug dealers that need to be shut down somehow. its pretty disgusting that the dealers mix it with flour etc to get more money. The addict doesn't even know it so they buy more.
I could go on and on. I heard 'Chris Pyne' says the problem is everytime they try to do something about one drug, along comes another one.
Luv to you all JJ

It was pretty bad where I used to live. Not as bad now but still around.
I'm glad I never liked it.

Good to see you Jo

It's an epidemic here in Thailand too.
I tried it one time years ago and thank GOD I hated the high.
Stupid me got on codiene instead. Don't know which one is harder too kick because after ice kept me up 3 days.........I dared not even try it again.

How absolutely gutting was that statistic that 25% of the nation's population age 14 and older are using daily or monthly? Holy crap!

Loads of people I know got into ice - their reasoning being the lack of E's - as a previously fully committed E head in my teens and 20's before I got on the smack I just shake my head at them - they are dancing with the devil the silly twats but nothing you can say to em.
