Australians are the second-highest users of illicit drugs like cocaine, speed, ice, and MDMA.

 

The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission has released its latest wastewater drug monitoring program, which tests sewage water from across the country to identify the type of drug and how much of it is being consumed by Australians.

 

Between August 2016 and August 2017, more than 8 tonnes of methamphetamine, or ice, was estimated to have been consumed across the country.
