They're just not good for your health:
Study finds methamphetamine the most consumed illicit drug nationwide – and the problem is worse outside the cities...
According to the latest report from the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission’s (ACIC) Wastewater Drug Monitoring Program released this week, people living in regional areas are more likely to experience the harms related to substance use.
Using wastewater data collected by the Universities of Queensland and South Australia across 58 sites nationally – covering over half the population – the report seeks to understand local drug markets across all capitals and a range of regional cities and towns up to August 2021.
It draws on five years of data collected since the program began, and found consumption of most drugs has generally been higher per capita in regional Australia.
The exception is in cocaine and heroin use, where consumption is higher in the cities, and the report notes these two drugs are exclusively imported, without any domestic production.
My "reverse Pol Pot" policy is looking better than ever...

I'm surprised by that Steve. I thought the metha issue had largely disappeared. I find it very hard to believe that metha is the most consumed illicit drug.
