- In a report by a committee on drug trafficking, French senators warn that France is being 'submerged by illicit drugs'. FRANCE 24's Tom Burges Watson is joined by Thomas Pietschmann, Senior Research Officer at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), who explains that this trend extends to the whole of Europe, and it concerns in particular the trafficking of cocaine from South America.

The European Parliament have lost billions of taxes every by not legalising marijuana since 2008, and it is time Europeans were allowed a referendum to vote on legalising it 😁👍
Why don't they just legalise them and control them ? look at prohibition in the USA.
The problem is not the illegal weed but the rise in use of cocaine and other substances but mainly cocaine, right now it's an epidemic in europe and is bringing a lot of revenue to narcos.
Real problem is people choosing to do cocaine, especially in the party scene, atleast 1 in 10 people partying have done cocaine and do it ocasionaly in weekends along with drinking, weed was always and will be there and does not cause much issue, although almost all cocaine users i know atleast smoke weed daily or atleast have smoked at some point, big problem in europe and the mental crisis among young people 100% has to do something with it.
"Congratulations to Drugs for winning the war on Drugs"
The problem is we've endorsed a bunch of experts professionally trained to provide poor answers to good questions.
Yep, they just want their paycheck.
You can't even keep it out from prison, forget about it not entering your country
stop the war on drug's and the hypocrisy
Yes! France creating their own DEA is a brilliant idea! 🤩
Surely it will help because the DEA has really won the war on drugs. 😒
The USA will lead the way. 😌
What a genius idea:D
Just like France followed the USA into Iraq and Afghanistan...
French people are followers, not leaders.
Lmao
Como ninguem pensou nisso antes???😂😂😂.....
I have always found the best way to live is not to be a junky!
Being a junkie is the best way to die
Decriminalisation and clean up.product , less harm , less health issues . Tax .and treatments.
Click kick slam
Bye bye 😄😄
But we like drugs 🤷♂️
I saw bankers do coke openly in the streets in Geneva 😂😂
Switzerland is not part of EU though..
Really 😲😲😲?
@@shark4sk grab a book will you.
@@eddosimonetti2314 I think you need to learn... Switzerland is part of Europe but not part of Euro Zone... Anyway I was asking/Suprised regarding the coke thing..As I was there for 2 Days in Zurich I find it really clean...safe and did not see any drug users on street.....
@@eddosimonetti2314 EFTA country
Why?… because governments get rich from it.
“ just say NO to drugs “ Ronald Reagan 😂🤣 Yes starting tomorrow
Exactly
No buyers = no sellers
It's a form of hybrid warfare
China and Fentanyl in the US. Asymmetric warfare.
China
But two can play that game
Make it legal just like alcohol. Total nonsense to ban the stuff it is the reason for it to be of a huge advantage for criminals. Anty drugs policy are a total failure.
What are anty drugs or can't you spell?
NOT TRUE, no western goverments ever just started wipping out cartels'..never was a war on drug's that ive seen
@@huskydogable When someone is too dumb to counter an argument, they begin nitpicking spellings and grammar.
Or even better, make alcohol illegal again.
I think cocaine is something that you need to have some self control with or realize when you are using a tad to much a bit to frequently. You dont get do it every week and shouldn't.
Bad for your heart. Not worth it
According to my friend, cocaine is always "pretty lacklustre" if compared to cannabis, MDMA, 2CB and LSD. Like they are really expensive but somewhat lacking when it comes to how much fun one can have.
Same with EVERYTHING.
JUST SAY NO KIDS
DRUGS ARE BAD MKAY 😄
even here in the middle of nowhere in malaga mountains its rife.loads of locals are bang at it.
Legalize, destigmatize, regulate, educate. To think we have the omnipotence to undo every “evil” is a dangerous illusion that costs society dearly.
Congratulations to drugs for winning the war😂
back in 1992 we went to a nightclub in Paris. Couldnt even get a single rizla all night, so things must have really gone downhill.
If only there was some kind of barrier one would have to pass through before entering another country, might make it more difficult for illegal substances to enter?
There are all around UK and guess what? they don't work
There are between S America and Europe - guess what ?
All the time you make a trade illegal then smugglers will make money
Why don't they just legalise them and control them ? look at prohibition in the USA.
A huge inquiry from the senate. They just forgot to hear any consumer
If the taliban could eliminate opium production in a country like Afghanistan, then the Western governments could do the same if they wanted to. They would rather spend the money playing at stemming the flow because that is much more profitable.
It's the destruction of the opium by the taliban which has led to this major crisis with synthetic opiates.
Its a futile effort and they know it.
Yes you let them in 😅😅😅 time to close the borders
Give people meaning and purpose in their lives and most people wouldn’t need them
0:23 And wat could be next? legal highs or ice 'well thats wat i understand pmsl.
Never the users, it's always the tax free businesses.
We want flakka!
Gee wonder if that can happen without gov being the biggest offender 😂
Oh well.
Trapping ain’t dead
It will never die
The EU has made life miserable might as well get wasted.
Same as uk
Please grow your own
Unconditional right to stop our own life whenever we want medically. My body my choice. Freedom
Best stick to the vin rouge and mescaline eh.
And a fine strain of “special chocolat”
Take away the profit, eliminate the drug smuggling. The politicians and law enforcement profit from the current drug epidemic. Portugal legalized all drugs. Drug smuggling stopped, addiction dropped, crime dropped, incarcrations dropped, and all have free access to drug rehabilitation.
Its only not legal because they cant tax it
Here’s a brilliant solution: stop using illicit drugs! So simple, anyone can do it! There are no law enforcement weaknesses, only personal weaknesses. Just stop, people.
Why would anyone want them?
Congratulations to Drugs for winning the War on Drugs.
Soooo old issue. We are flooded not with cox but with views of so called experts.
Heroin is declining that's not good.
I guess Taliban ban is working.
What about Portugal?
Burnouts related to overstim +psychosocial stress .skeletal muscle arrophies of burnouts
you know Mr Blanc is on that good good
Disco!
Well I wonder where that’s coming from
they literally talk about it in the video lol you admitted you didn’t watch it
China. Who else. But orcs will keep commenting here claiming ruzzia and China are their daddies.
Make Drugs UNPOPULAR If the Public will not buy Drugs then they will go away ?? Quit coddling Drug use Do Not allow glamorizing of Drug Dealing or use Man up Get tough or Don't Up to YOU
Drugs mmmm
You forgot to mention the curroption of police. Free the weed.
This is what happens when you DEFUND the police
We have the same problems in USA
asymetric warefare...
illegal immigrants
Don't do drugs.
Why not coffee? Coffee is a drug.
CIA
Lol you must be on drugs. China is the mass producer of these designer chemicals.
Ay baybay 🎉😂
Opium wars🤔Cia contra🤔mhhh🤭your leaders are involved 😉
Drug laws cause harm. Sounds like they want to arrest their way out of the problem. Just like USA:crack and heroin/opiates. Got a habit myself. I love drugs. Crack too. Can't quit.
Why not in India, why only in NATO country 😂😂😂😂😂
Migrant gangs?
No more living in simpler times. Get with it. Things are getting real.
People need to know this is happening around the world under progressive liberals administrations 😂😂😂😂😂
Re-instate border crossing checks between EU countries. Scan all shipping containers coming into the port of Marseille et Rotterdam for starters.
Maybe it's time to ask China for help on how to fight against drugs and crime.
The solution is to ban all human rights.
- China
China has killed over 50 million of their own citizens in the past 50 years, so we already know what their solution is, & it won’t work in a civilized country
China is MAKING the precursor to Fentanyl. They learned a lot from the Opium Wars. Its obvious China intends to hook the West on the strongest, most addicting opiate drug possible, and the newest synthetic Fentanyl is 20 times stronger than the kind they use in hospitals (which is already 50 times stronger than heroin). China intends this to happen.
Zelenskyy probably uses at least half that amount 😂
The world needs drugs
EU needs a harsh drug law like Singapore's
Hell NO!!
@@Kirt44 Are you a drug mule?
EU needs fewer human rights like China.
Why don't they just legalise them and control them ? look at prohibition in the USA.
Zelenskyy's favorite
You guys heard of a French connection haven't you
They created it
The rumors are the president himself of that country is involved😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Coke good, meth bad
Fentanyl goes in both, makes no difference- addicted either way to the opiates in the Fentanyl. Dope dealers want you to “keep coming back”.
