What's with all the cocaine?

Seriously. I feel like it was just something I never saw before, and now it's just everywhere.

I've already seen the Drug Foundation's wastewater study - 93% increase on the previous 3 year average, more people using it than meth, etc etc etc. So I'm definitely not imagining it.

What I'd more like to talk about is why? Why right now? And how, in this economy? Isn't it expensive?? And how does the scene today compare to whatever we had in the past?

At face value, I find it scary af. Seems obvious that we must be getting targeted by syndicates in a way that hasn't happened before. So curious for any insights or anecdotes or any smart people who know things about markets to chime in.

Obligatory not a cop lol
