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.
I appreciate the people doing the documentary for doing the voiceover. I hate having to read the subtitles the entire time if I’m cooking or something.
It’s not physically addictive I don’t get why or how people claim it destroyed their life. Alcohol is far worse. It ruins more lives and kills innocent people every day constantly. DUI’s. Hit and runs.
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.
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.

In the Netherlands, we face exactly the same issue in major cities with substantial quantities of cocaine drug trade and street-level gang wars fought in public spaces with explosives. Belgium shares a similar story, with municipalities grappling with the common challenge of widespread involvement in drug trafficking, particularly among North African migrants.
Just legalise it, tax it and put the proper programs in place who can’t balance use. Stop killing our brothers in South America and let’s move forward.
@@PelonTusker As a Belgian living in Antwerp (cocaïne door to Europe) i can comfirm that it are mostly North-African immigrants or relatives who start and are the cause of drug violence in Antwerp, Belgium and the Netherlands. Previous year, there is more than 120 tons of cocaine seized in Antwerp alone. Also where ther more than 200 related cases of drug violence, where 170 where related with North-African immigrants (mostly from Marocco).

@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.

Good job with good pay but no drugs. Even if they were legal, they'd still destroy lives.

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.

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.

Pretty shaky, but rarely deadly outside of the suicidal elements. An overdose can kill you but withdrawal will not unless some underlying condition gets triggered or what not. A Heroin/Fent withdrawal is 10x more excruciating. Alcohol and benzos 20x worse if not more. And those two will ACTUALLY kill you if medical attention isn't sought fast.
Nobody will ever be able to stop the drug business.. Instead of legalizing, they continue to allow that tax money to go to these drug cartels. Maybe that's what the law enforcement want all over the world, Job Security I guess..

They dont want to do it, because it will crush the price and profit. If errybody was able to make it and sell it, it would cost $5 like aspirin once the scientists get involved into mass producing it. Thats why they keep it banned to keep the supply low and price high.

It was an informative and complement documentary shared by an excellent ( DW) documentary channel. Documentary about cocaine drugs dealing with expansionist in Germany 🇩🇪. Thank you for sharing
@@DWDocumentaryyou are getting compliments from drug cartels and you are saying thanks😂where is your responsibility to society DW drug cartel mouthpiece?
@@DWDocumentaryWhy you never mention the fact that the money obtained through drug trafficking is used to finance P€#@PH!L1*, human trafficking, slavery, illegal sales of arms, political campaigns and terrorism? You should use your platform with a more direct approach and make people aware that drug consumption is not okay, regardless of being legal or illegal.
Many of the problems described as shootings, deadly risks or money problems is just because the drug is illegal. It would be interesting to see what would happen if it was legal, and all the governments money was instead spend on helping people who can't handle the addiction. I believe that most people who do cocaine do not have big issues with it.
People WILL get addicted no matter what, no one can "save" them, indeed a 80% of violence come from the substance being chased that much so the making the profit insanely profitable (i buy for 50% of the price i sell to newcomers for like 150% or more). Also many of symptoms described in the video are opioid's symptoms not coke's, coke being that expensive push people to other stimulants....and there are a HUGE variety to choose from!
@@jonnevangarderen7269they took away the drugs and sent the people back out into the public, as a Canadian British Columbia’s way of dealing with the issue was the exact thing you don’t want to do and was embarrassing. These people need their drugs taken away and help.
Grass is greener... You think it would be better but where is guarantee it would? Ultimately drug is a drug and its something you should not consume. Stay clean and healthy that's the way to have no problems.
I agree with the decriminalization of all drugs. It would take away the violence here in America and other parts of the world. It would end quite a few jobs. Actually, thousands of jobs. There is a reason why it has not been the criminalized. Careers would end. And of course the norcos would hate that!
@@tomo_ka3040 you can get help even if it is criminalised, you’re just making excuses and are embarrassed of your addiction, do you think every alcoholic goes to get help just because drinking is legal so there isn’t any stigma around it? No, they’re embarrassed like all addicts, no law will change a persons mind wether or not to get help
Didn’t this documentary happen back in 1978, 1982, 1990 … every damn year the same story. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results…
In any/every society when the drugs are widely spread, this means one of possibilities, either the authorities don't know what is going on in the society or the authorities are partners with others to spread these drugs within society. I hope DW will keep/let my comment on and not delete it as usual.
“Like eating chips in front of the TV” that is the best explanation I have ever heard in my life! Once you find yourself needing more and more, think you need it to feel normal I think you need anything at all time to put it down Let your tolerance fall, and it will be fun again. There is genetic disposition, nature and nurture both we’re not immune to addiction or disease, but these are risks that can be mitigated, there are likely 20% at least, who are genetically predisposed, who should not imbibe at all it’s like that with everything
I hope you do research on Montreal. The Old Port is known for smuggling drugs in. More frequent stabbings, shootings of schools and neighborhoods, gangs struggle to fill the vacuum that the Italian Mafia left behind. It's wild. Ps: Love your work. That's why I'm asking you guys are amazing ♡
Hey, do you have any insight on the Quebec biker wars during the 90s? Furthmore, to what extent are Italian and biker organizations involved in the trade today? Are there transnational elements present?
Italian mafia? French connection buddy not mob, french connection runs MTL port, mafia goes through MTL port to get there drugs, mob controls it but doesn't run the operation if that makes sense, And I want someone do story on my grampa He did biggest armed robbery in Canada history, Windsor off bet armor truck robbery, cash, bonds, and other stuff was close to 19million CAD, they got ratted on gramps did 17yrs for it, raided his place on xmas, was in the 1970s
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
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
@@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
@@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.
What comes around, turns around. I was dumb enough to sell it in the 80s when it was beyond huge...from Michigan dwn to FLA. People were snortn it right out in the open, on bar tables, car hoods and the tops of toilet tanks! Germany is just going thru what our country experienced decades ago. Of course Fentanyl, meth and a myriad of other lab drugs have taken over our streets at present...and I kinda wish coke was our only issue cause these evil drugs are killing thousands here and destroying countless families.
to me its so fascinating how different cocaine and its culture are in gemany from the us. you cant find anything clean here and the dealers they interview seem genuinely chill and they even wear gloves😭
Even Escobar said this business will never end and that good education is key to keep yout kids from the drug, i think legalisation is the only way to go.
Now really? That's funny because the vast % of the cocaine users are educated high class people. While other drugs such as heroin/opiods are largely less educated middle and lower class.
So you think it's weird Escobar said his business, over wich he had a monopoly and made trillions, should be made legal? I think car thiefs want the same thing, and they don't produce cars
the amount of cocaine captured by the government is not an indicator of any increased supply being imported into Germany. it only reflects the effectiveness of law enforcement in the equation. this can be seen in the constant availability of the product and the stability of prices.
Drugs is the most powerful thing in the world, people love it by choice sometimes not, making alot of money while parents cry for their children's addiction🥺😥😭
0:22 Honestly coke is overrated, it does keep you awake but doesn't really last that long, you gotta redose a lot to go through an entire night. And it doesn't necessarily make you feel good, last time I had it a week ago it made me extremely emotional (altho I did have ket as well so might've been from that)
We need to tackle addiction as a root cause. Everything else is treating symptoms.. i know it seems impossible, but i am hopeful.. Ive seen great many people destroyed by drugs.. good people..
The drugs didn't destroy them they destroyed themself with drugs. It's like anything take it in moderation and have every other aspect of life in check then they would be okay. Drugs don't make people bad they are already bad
great video, really insightful and well done! however, i can't help but feel that there's a bit of glorification happening around drug culture in some parts of the content. it's a complex issue, and while it's important to discuss, we should also be cautious about the messages we send, don't you think?
What point? That "I didn't go to school so now I earn less so yeah I deserve more?" Isn't school free in Germany? That's just the irresponsible, whitewashing, handwashing kind of talk guilty people do to justify to themselves that what they do is right when they know full well it's wrong.
He´s influenced by living in Berlin where he sees the extremes. It´s like saying it´s not worth learning how to use the computer because the most successful IT guys have health problems from sitting at the computer all the time. There are other places with educated and/or successful people who aren´t as severely stressed out and don´t take cocaine. I get where the dealer coming from, but his logic is a bit off.
And that coke will be in the 90’s %!pure in 011 they were saying average street purity was 21-22% so 1KG @ $3000 can make 4KG @ £37-£40K so that £3K can turn into a £157K profit madness
39:50 The pusher brags about being able to afford a lawyer that keeps him out of prison. Then he rails about how his impoverished upbringing entitles him to ruin the lives of others. Classic self pittying career criminal.
@@arsenal0095 The supplier is taking advantage of a lack of information on drug addiction. And they often prey upon the young, undereducated and naive. the supplier knows how many he's killing. He is not lacking that information. He just doesn't care.
I am shocked how world officials are so oblivious to the benefits of decriminalization. They are going about it the wrong way, and in essence have blood on their hands for badly handling this.
I agree with you 100% but I am not shocked. I am a lot more cynical than a typical person I guess. I say I am not shocked because there are a lot of people making money leaving things exactly the way it is. If I you are a DEA Agent/police, transport company, people making the little plastic bags, clinics, doctors, counselors, you have no interest in ending the drug war. You have job securities, benefits (in the USA, most of the time, your healthcare is subsidized by your employer), pension etc etc etc to worry about. That is just one example. Non-profits that help addicts are not non-profit for the people who run them. The volunteers work for free but the Director, Accountant, Marketing, IT etc etc have salaries (and benefits). So the most realistic goal is probably to reduce addition? But eliminating is not going to happen.
@@quickbets6061 In the war on drugs (and war in general) everyone is making a profit besides the soldiers & civilians getting killed. But when it comes to money, they are treated as casualties of war.
cause they're all in on the take, you don't really think things are coming in through the ports without the people in charge getting their cut do you? The guy with the hat making 200K a month, he pays people off, that's how he's able to successfully conduct his business.
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.

You should use your platform with a more direct approach and make people aware that drug consumption is not okay, regardless of being legal or illegal.
Many of the problems described as shootings, deadly risks or money problems is just because the drug is illegal. It would be interesting to see what would happen if it was legal, and all the governments money was instead spend on helping people who can't handle the addiction. I believe that most people who do cocaine do not have big issues with it.
People WILL get addicted no matter what, no one can "save" them, indeed a 80% of violence come from the substance being chased that much so the making the profit insanely profitable (i buy for 50% of the price i sell to newcomers for like 150% or more).
Also many of symptoms described in the video are opioid's symptoms not coke's, coke being that expensive push people to other stimulants....and there are a HUGE variety to choose from!
Look at what happend in canada, they did this. And it didnt turn out great for the people
As long as people consume cocaine, South America will live in poverty, corruption and violence.
@@jonnevangarderen7269they took away the drugs and sent the people back out into the public, as a Canadian British Columbia’s way of dealing with the issue was the exact thing you don’t want to do and was embarrassing. These people need their drugs taken away and help.
Grass is greener... You think it would be better but where is guarantee it would? Ultimately drug is a drug and its something you should not consume. Stay clean and healthy that's the way to have no problems.
Wild you have pure, non tarnished, non fentanyl laced coke. This is a tragedy..where exactly do you keep the coke after you seize it?
It'll stop when everyones mental health and cocaine's phycosis explodes

Have you not heard of the 70s?
So depressing, nothings ever gonna change
Nothing's going to change because of depression..
I agree with the decriminalization of all drugs. It would take away the violence here in America and other parts of the world. It would end quite a few jobs. Actually, thousands of jobs. There is a reason why it has not been the criminalized. Careers would end. And of course the norcos would hate that!
Decriminalisation would not change anything lol
@@Mihail2204 it would make it easier to recieve help since there isnt a huge stigma around it being illegal
@@tomo_ka3040 you can get help even if it is criminalised, you’re just making excuses and are embarrassed of your addiction, do you think every alcoholic goes to get help just because drinking is legal so there isn’t any stigma around it?

@@drewchristenson6775 then what is it? Seems like the same story year after year, nothing changes.
In any/every society when the drugs are widely spread, this means one of possibilities, either the authorities don't know what is going on in the society or the authorities are partners with others to spread these drugs within society.
I hope DW will keep/let my comment on and not delete it as usual.

Let your tolerance fall, and it will be fun again. There is genetic disposition, nature and nurture both we’re not immune to addiction or disease, but these are risks that can be mitigated, there are likely 20% at least, who are genetically predisposed, who should not imbibe at all it’s like that with everything
I hope you do research on Montreal. The Old Port is known for smuggling drugs in. More frequent stabbings, shootings of schools and neighborhoods, gangs struggle to fill the vacuum that the Italian Mafia left behind. It's wild.

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
yup
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
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.
@@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
@@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.
What comes around, turns around. I was dumb enough to sell it in the 80s when it was beyond huge...from Michigan dwn to FLA. People were snortn it right out in the open, on bar tables, car hoods and the tops of toilet tanks! Germany is just going thru what our country experienced decades ago. Of course Fentanyl, meth and a myriad of other lab drugs have taken over our streets at present...and I kinda wish coke was our only issue cause these evil drugs are killing thousands here and destroying countless families.
Not only Germany, everywhere in Europe (except ex-communist countries) coke is as easy to buy as weed now, I keep seeing more and more meth too
to me its so fascinating how different cocaine and its culture are in gemany from the us. you cant find anything clean here and the dealers they interview seem genuinely chill and they even wear gloves😭
here in germany its rare to find anything under 83% last hand (consumer) and its even cheaper than they claim, 1.4g for 100€.
Even Escobar said this business will never end and that good education is key to keep yout kids from the drug, i think legalisation is the only way to go.
Definitely
cocaine is a horrible drug, it does not have much of the medical effects like marijuana but have severe side effects. I hope its illegal forever.
They legalized marihuana, here in California. The business, it is still run by the cartels and they determine the way to go. They didn't go away
Now really? That's funny because the vast % of the cocaine users are educated high class people.
While other drugs such as heroin/opiods are largely less educated middle and lower class.
So you think it's weird Escobar said his business, over wich he had a monopoly and made trillions, should be made legal?
I think car thiefs want the same thing, and they don't produce cars
Interesting and informative

Cocaine is one hell of a drug - Rick James
the amount of cocaine captured by the government is not an indicator of any increased supply being imported into Germany. it only reflects the effectiveness of law enforcement in the equation. this can be seen in the constant availability of the product and the stability of prices.
Damn I'm moving to Germany

0:22 Honestly coke is overrated, it does keep you awake but doesn't really last that long, you gotta redose a lot to go through an entire night. And it doesn't necessarily make you feel good, last time I had it a week ago it made me extremely emotional (altho I did have ket as well so might've been from that)

@@digitalscale76 potentially, but I do live in Rotterdam and I get the "pure" one, so I'd assume it should be halfway decent
Bro ket is my favorite, I wish I had a connect for it now
We need to tackle addiction as a root cause. Everything else is treating symptoms.. i know it seems impossible, but i am hopeful..
Ive seen great many people destroyed by drugs.. good people..
The drugs didn't destroy them they destroyed themself with drugs. It's like anything take it in moderation and have every other aspect of life in check then they would be okay. Drugs don't make people bad they are already bad

What point? That "I didn't go to school so now I earn less so yeah I deserve more?" Isn't school free in Germany? That's just the irresponsible, whitewashing, handwashing kind of talk guilty people do to justify to themselves that what they do is right when they know full well it's wrong.
He´s influenced by living in Berlin where he sees the extremes. It´s like saying it´s not worth learning how to use the computer because the most successful IT guys have health problems from sitting at the computer all the time. There are other places with educated and/or successful people who aren´t as severely stressed out and don´t take cocaine. I get where the dealer coming from, but his logic is a bit off.
My first boyfriend was addicted to cocaine. I was 16 when I caught him in the bathroom doing a line.
$3000 per kilo from south America source? Wow thats cheap,i mean in England its in the region of £38-40000 . Wow
And that coke will be in the 90’s %!pure in 011 they were saying average street purity was 21-22% so 1KG @ $3000 can make 4KG @ £37-£40K so that £3K can turn into a £157K profit madness

Why blame the supplier solely? The consumer has some blame as well.
@@arsenal0095 The supplier is taking advantage of a lack of information on drug addiction. And they often prey upon the young, undereducated and naive. the supplier knows how many he's killing. He is not lacking that information. He just doesn't care.
All the blame is on the consumer. Why would we blame the suppliers? Do you blame stores for selling alcohol to alcoholics?
And just like that the air checking tactic is outdated.
The only way to make it work is to legalise the drugs such as Pot and Coke

pot sure..coke can go fugg off..
You know guy shaving off some powder off the brick was up for samples 😂
I am shocked how world officials are so oblivious to the benefits of decriminalization. They are going about it the wrong way, and in essence have blood on their hands for badly handling this.
I agree with you 100% but I am not shocked. I am a lot more cynical than a typical person I guess. I say I am not shocked because there are a lot of people making money leaving things exactly the way it is. If I you are a DEA Agent/police, transport company, people making the little plastic bags, clinics, doctors, counselors, you have no interest in ending the drug war. You have job securities, benefits (in the USA, most of the time, your healthcare is subsidized by your employer), pension etc etc etc to worry about. That is just one example. Non-profits that help addicts are not non-profit for the people who run them. The volunteers work for free but the Director, Accountant, Marketing, IT etc etc have salaries (and benefits). So the most realistic goal is probably to reduce addition? But eliminating is not going to happen.
They don't want "those" countries and it's people making a profit
@@quickbets6061 In the war on drugs (and war in general) everyone is making a profit besides the soldiers & civilians getting killed. But when it comes to money, they are treated as casualties of war.

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.
