Curse Of Crystal Meth: Addiction, Trafficking & Dangerous Production Exposed | Addicted - Ep 1/3

Описание: An estimated 39.5 million people globally suffer from drug-use disorders — with a growing number hooked on synthetic drugs that are cheaper, more accessible, and far more lethal.

We investigate the impacts of this synthetic curse, beginning in Karachi, where millions of young Pakistanis are caught in a deadly spiral of addiction and crime. Our team embeds with Karachi Police on a drug raid. We then traverse Thailand to investigate how the authorities are working to contain cross border trafficking. Synthetic pills, produced in Myanmar, are flooding Thailand, wreaking havoc on Thai society. In British Columbia, Canada, we discover the impact of decriminalization: More than 50,000 Canadians have died from fentanyl overdoses. The drug, which can be produced in home labs, is fueling a crime wave and a health crisis.

Many societies are grappling with a growing drug epidemic. We uncover how meth produced in Myanmar has fueled a multi-million-dollar trade — and how a combination of law enforcement, cutting-edge technology, and grassroots activism is rising to confront it. But will these efforts be enough to break the grip of synthetic drugs before it's too late?
