Recovering From Meth Addiction - The Difficult Truth | Ice Wars (EP 3/4)

- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- In Blacktown, Police and Emergency Health Services work diligently to manage the local ice problem. We learn that methamphetamine's hold does not discriminate as a world sports champion opens up about his struggles with addiction. An ex-user tells of redemption through rehabilitation, but found hope after hitting rock bottom.
This provocative series takes us to the frontline of Australia’s drug war on the drug known as Ice. Through unprecedented access, we follow the stories of Meth lab busts, front line importation arrests at the docks with Task Force Polaris, decontamination of suburbs by the cleanup crews, forensic teams tracing precursors and toxicologists investigating human impact from passive Meth cooking.

I had ice once. Fantastic fun night but I was so sick for a week after I never touched it again. Thank Goodness!
I'm really impressed by the police. They have so many resources for mental health. The US could learn a lot from this approach.
They do nothing, this video is a for show...
Pretty much the state of humanity. Sad
This was terribly sad but I must say the ending made me smile. I hope that young man is okay.
What a rollercoaster this was to watch.
I'm so thrilled to see Anthony hit the skies - what a wonderful transition he has had.
I hope Mike is doing well wherever he is...
And I hope Cleo is resting peacefully. That shocked me.
🇨🇦👋 Truly appreciate this series. Although different country, the facts/results are the same anywhere. Bless the workers in their non-judgemental approach to the care of those caught in the addiction of these nasty drugs.
Ashley and his team are unbelievably amazing!!!
Great to see the young man in the end flying a plane with a big smile on his face, well done 😊
Omg. I'm from the U.S. and I'm so sorry your country has to go through the nightmare that we are still going through.😢😢😢
It is heartbreaking to see such lost human potential.
They can search you with no warrant or even suspicion of a crime? No wonder they hate the cops there man that's crazy.
They do roadside drug swipes and alcohol breathalyser when they stop cars in UK too
There was suspicion of crime. Dealing drugs isn't legal
@@annikaz.1100 also the small matter of the neighbour calling about break-ins and theft? They had every right to search them.
Need that in the US it’s nuts and destroying our small towns
I have tried ICE a hand full of times but my last will remain my last about 2 years ago....i was on it for 3 or 4 days straight and twice in the same day i went to the ATM and while standing there i passed out and hit my head and the 2nd time cost me stitches!!
From NZ. I was on it too when I was 18/19-20 peer pressured by my ex who I was only with for a year, I'm 26 now. I was using it for work nightshift 5 days out of the week. I got sick of the repetitive cycle so I left her and got myself clean and didn't look back. I had one good thing in that relationship and that was having a daughter. She's now 6 and I couldn't be any happier having her full time while the mother is still stuck in that cycle popping out kids left right and centre. I wish everyone who is going through it to not give in. Keep on going, All gas no brakes💯
I am also from nz and good on you I live in Tauranga’ I am a year clean . I didn’t need rehab or anything it took me a hospital trip that almost killed me and I have never looked back. My medication I take makes me feel better than I ever had on this stuff
Ashley you are the best!! (I would be glad to work with you) ❤from the Netherlands
I think it is TOALLY ignorant of the police to blame the users..every one of them has a story and addiction can happen to anyone..yes it was that persons choice, but there had to be a reason..it is a terrible illness.
Lots of Oice mate!
Wish Indiana in the US would take this approach. It’s everywhere in our state
The states doesn’t have a clue how to deal with this nightmare
My neighbor ( her homes a million dollar home) has been smoking it for almost a year and yesterday I saw she had all these people at the house while her husband was golfing I realized it was her Meth dealer they wereoutside.. smoking it
Yep she would be smoking something alright
31:27 LMFAO!!
Oz is really the land of lost souls, innit?
Wrong wrong and wrong again 😅
charly in Croatia Got minimum od 3years in jail..cca 4½ Will ne his sentens
Old as
I recorded it as her guy was stealing her husbands things as I don’t want to even be responsible so if he accuses us I have proof sounds horrible but I have a new baby in my home
No sympathy for these drug addicts ... 🤮
@tatsnneeps341 Lets hope that if you ever have children of your own they don't make foolish mistakes and end up in the grip of addiction. People like you haven't a clue about addiction.
@@seanoconnor5737 OK pin head
So an addict is flying a missile.
You see for someone who been smoking for a damn long time and wants to try and quit it for good not that they want to smoke it, it’s more of their body needs it.
The aboriginal geezer
That airplane kid only 20 and he addicted. I think rehab should have chose someone who’s been in the game for 10+ years. He hasn’t got the real feeling what’s it’s like to go down to that road. Rehab works only for some people and others get out and once they head back home and start hanging out with the same crowd of people it’s all gonna be smoking that shit again.
