Cocaine for Germany | DW Documentary

Germany is flooded with cocaine. Since 2017, cocaine residue in Berlin's sewage has doubled. Since the pandemic, sales of cocaine across Germany have rocketed. The addictive potential of the drug is often underestimated and legal prohibitions do little to deter dealers or users.
This documentary sheds light on new international smuggling routes and methods that are causing ever greater problems for law enforcement agencies. One indication of the rising wave of cocaine: although the number of controls in Germany has stagnated, the amount seized has doubled in recent years. In early 2021, customs investigators in the port of Hamburg made the largest cocaine find in Germany and Europe to date: 16 tons. Where does the cocaine come from and who is profiting from its smuggling and sale?

I was hooked on cocaine for 8 years. I had to stop drinking alcohol and associating with the people I did before I could stop taking cocaine. I’ve now been clean and sober for nearly 9. I’ve gained everything since quitting drink and drugs. I’ve brought a house, started a successful business and own two cars and bike. I had none of this while addicted, anyone can do it you just have to want it enough.

Decriminalise, regulate and tax it. The tax and the millions that wouldn't have to be spent on customs and police could fund any medical and social services associated with drug use. "The war on drugs" has never and will never work. Pushing it underground only makes gangs rich and makes it more dangerous for users.

[@cikosphysicaltherapist6017]

Thank you! As someone who has struggled with addiction this is the answer. Street drugs make street people rich. Set it up so the government can regulate it and tax it. Invest in rehabs, and prevention . Policing costs too much and only gets a small handful of the streets.

Of course! There's simply everything wrong about the current system that's obviously not working at all. I wonder how long it will take to realize that to the broad society and politics.

Or at least decriminalize, it'll help a lot but I wonder why the obvious solution isn't being implemented..I bet many higher-ups have benefits in keeping it illegal

[@IHWKR]

@FactStorm they do but it's a double edged axe. It'll greatly negate drug lords, but physical addiction by the masses will greatly harm the health of the country. No doubt millions would try hard drugs if legalized. The legality does keep many people from even smoking weed like myself. I've done it but I have a life to worry about. Good job with good pay but no drugs. Even if they were legal, they'd still destroy lives.

[@msdadsfsx]

singapore has death penalty so no one dares

[@IHWKR]

@msdadsfsx yes they do, and even that still doesn't work. Watched a documentary a year or so ago about heroin addicts in a certain spot that don't get bothered by the cops or something. I can't remember the name of it, but they're just wasting away in the streets just like here in the states. Wherever there's drug use, there's usually crime and societal decay (barring the offense of drug use, of course). I'm pro organic drugs like weed, mushrooms, dmt. But I still see the problems each has on people. I believe in freedom, but I also believe is policing our societies of legitimate wrongdoing and deterioration of society. I'm not saying there isn't a country or group of people who can defy the odds. But in terms of Americans, almost all of us lack self control. Our society is works off the ideology that we are all individual kings and queens, ruler of our domain and over others. We are extremely childish, selfish individuals. There's little to no hope that legalizing drugs will better society. It really is a catch 22 as it stands right now in my eyes. But generally illegal drugs is probably the lesser of two evils. Even decriminalization doesn't help but may even exacerbate the problem. Complex stuff for sure.

Why so many documentaries including this one, are restricted in Germany itself? It is public broadcast funded by tax money.

[@YourMom-cu8yt]

Because Germany is a tyrannical corporatocracy designed to enshrine and protect the power of their aristocracy, while subjecting everyone else to “the rule of law”. That’s why.

Drugs have been around forever so it is not going to stop, what should change is how we view users, as already said mentioned in the comments, I can drink a glass of wine a week and I am not a alcoholic. If I drink one every hour, that is a different story.. Addiction is the major issue, not drugs per se. If drugs were regulated I believe there would not be as many deaths because of fentanyl for example.

Everywhere in europe cocaine is around you can get it delivered within 20 mins at any time of the day. A lot of people do it, and i would almost go to bet that there are more people doing coke these days than there are people smoking weed. I never tried and never will, never been interested in behaving the way people that take it do. The reason i think cocaine is working so well these days is because people are egocentric and want to have the cool feeling and being hypped etc. And if they didn't have coke, they would have boring lives because they most likely have no passion, no hobbies, low self esteem, and most of their consists of them being fake to most people around them, work or home. It's all fake. People are sad. Coke is fun. Weed makes you think about your life and it can hit hard. Better have fun ;) Not that i care, just my side of the story i guess. We might all agree on the same things, but for different reasons. Or disagree :)

If the Paraguains are packing it like that nice it seemed a bit dry when he plucked it with a knife. The point is, that stuff can sit in a warehouse for a year or more stockpiled. Ayye, you can wet it and double the price on the kilo level for sure. The wetness when those guys put the pure stuff in that Lil tube is more moist than the cop kilos

[@chelsea_Xxo]

LOL, you do know when you have a good plug at max 3 steps away from import you always get the oils they mix the coke with along side the coke, so you mix it yourself (full amount of substance + oil additions included in price) That proves that most people don’t even realize what actual real pure coke looks/feels/tastes like

[@etziowingeler3173]

Make it legal to be obtained from a pharmacy as prescribed by a medical professional for those that are already doing it, for example. Prohibition against drugs has proven to be harmful and ineffective. Look at Asia. It's a disaster. Best tools are preventive measures, medical health infrastructure, and secondary prevention for those that already are on drugs. Don't make them go on the street buy their substance of choice. They should be property treated, if needed with long term substitution

[@Bloodplayer13]

yup

[@Darth001]

Only substitute technically is methylphenidate aka ritalin or concerta adhd medications as it very chemically simular think of it more as a slow release cocaine. Having adhd myself I know it's enough for people with adhd to get them meds they don't had them out like sweets like media says there's strick controls on them. Can't imagine they would give them for a cocaine addiction but I have heard in Mexico they will give you methylphenidate to get you off coke In spealist clinics

[@calinblaga2055]

I don't see how that could fix the problems, since, I can imagine, the legal ones will cost much compared to the illegal ones.

[@RiaEkin598]

​@@calinblaga2055ive read somewhere that cocaine hydrochloride can be prescribed to heavy users/addicts, although ive never known somebody to have this prescribed. I think certain drugs should be legalised and regulated for purity and Safety, at least you really know what you are getting,alsorts can be put in cocaine like benzocaine,fishscale,etc

[@saddlepiggy]

@@calinblaga2055most of the cost is in middlemen between the cartel manufacturers and the consumer. Like they said, a gram in South America is only $3 while a gram in Germany is $100. Even with the way medicine regulations jack up the price, it should still be achievable to keep it less than the black market value.
