- How Europe is Flooded with Drugs | Lethal Cargo | ENDEVR Documentary from 2016
Episode 4: Drugs
We investigate how drug trafficking and distribution routes are changing and adapting to geopolitical changes in the Mediterranean basin.
Watch the full series here:
Episode 1 - Migrants: • The Shady Business of ...
Episode 2 - Toxic Waste: • How Toxic Waste Is Dum...
Episode 3 - Weapons: • The Harsh Truth About ...
The Mediterranean Sea is crisscrossed by traffics of every kind, some legal, others lethal. Over the last five years, we have been putting together the pieces of a tragic and terrifying story of the merchants of death. Lethal Cargo covers the escape of refugees from war regions in leaky boats, the spilling of toxic waste into the depths of the ocean during goods transportation and in our two most recent episodes, the illegal handling of drugs and weapon across the Mediterranean. Shockingly, the governments that should be trying to stem the tide of this illegal trades are the very ones involved in a tangled web of corruption!

As a European I can safely say we do not have a problem with drugs here. On the contrary, we can get them whenever we need them. No fuss
🤣
🤣👍🏾
@Frank Skoda-Simmons you have no sense of humor.. boring…
@Frank Skoda-Simmons no your comment doesnt make sense, If you run out of drugs then you have a problem but if that desiece goes away, your fine..
😆 lol
A wise man, who's spent his entire career dealing with this on an international law enforcement level once said to me: "trying to stop the flow of drugs with law enforcement is like trying to empty a river with a bucket."
I'll never forget how absolutely crushed he looked, staring into his beer and contemplating whether his life's work has actually been a total waste of time and if it had actually made things worse.
I'm so glad drugs have been illegal in my country for almost a hundred years and we've had a war on our own people for almost a hundred years also even the people that just want to use them and don't deal them and arent violent still you can't do that and you can be thrown in prison for that. But hey you want to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol you can get as much legally as you can no problem. Wait till Europeans have to deal with fentanyl will be praying for actual heroin by that time. Remember America has only 4% of the world's population but yet and houses 25% of all the worlds prison population imagine how many of those people are nonviolent drug offenders. But nothing will change the War on Drugs will never change
It did make things worse. There are countries that have actually made progress with their drug epidemic by actually dealing with the addiction problem itself. That's the real Frontline in this war on drugs.
Definitely worse ,and especially when looking in the mirror at yourself realizing how many innocent people suffered in the end , for the sake of his agency's budgets.
Foolioso!
@@opm0016 ask yourself what the energy you put forth into yo comment contributed to this conversation
The war on drugs is like any other war: when you peel back the layers, you'll find that the same entity supports all sides of the conflict to ensure total control and profitability, as it wreaks havoc on those who fight the unneeded battles.
if people have love instead of hate then the world would be better but this world creates chaos which creates hate
How about making drugs worthless by not using them "cop out" !
oso duro Xd
CIA is controling the entire American market
@@3dmaker699 the real problem is making agriculture chemical industries make legal money, while these cash crops become illegal .while they are all poisons .corporate greed.
Love how these 'Criminals' keep referring to Criminals..when they're the criminals.
They are referring to the law and government so they are right, n I agree w them, what do u wanna call the law/government?? Angels?? lmao goody2shoe over here
I think you should have also worked upon the links between, drug cartels, CIA, politicians and corrupt administrators. The US occupation of Afghanistan and the heroine trade boost during that time should be a matter of investigation May be that can be a topic for another video.
That part
You sure are right about the CIA and heroin!
I'll save the CIA's response to your factual comment : Conspiracy Theorist ! ! !
All the heroin in the US has dried up. All fent. Europe is closer and the money is probably as good or better.
Vice has C I A in the ranks (they have a long history of being embedded within media).
Legalise, legalise, legalise!
If people want it, somebody will supply it. Prohibition's never worked. All drugs need to be legalised and taxed, treated in a way no different from legal drugs like alcohol (which probably cause more harm than other drugs).
Cannabis is taxed way to
Much in Illinois. Ut sucks.
"if people stop buying it...."
how 1970s of you. this doc seems old
LEGALISE, simple.
Legalize, Legalize Legalize! If people want it, somebody will supply it - murder, child porn, cheap stolen goods. Laughable.
Completely agree. The war on drugs is lost.
'' you guys are buying it, maybe if you stop buying it'' That man looks like hes at least 50 years old, and still doesnt understand that people will never stop using substances to alter their minds?
fr.. literal stupidity. it will never end, and addiction is a disease that's running rampant more than ever now.
Why is it necessary to alter your mind? Just curious. I'm old and never used any sort of drug like this - am wondering what the need is.
Imagine the costs of this policing. It must be astronomical. Not to mention the corruption of people themselves.
The money the Cartels have amassed is greater than the countries they exist in. Put that in your pipe to ponder.
@@Luke-tg9jy what's your point?
You're never going to eliminate drug demand is my point.
Money everywhere!
For sure. American law enforcement is the 3rd most expensive military organization in the world.
Why do all the law enforcement in this video blather on and on about "shipping routes" and "the bad guys" and then act as if there is nothing they can do about it? This documentary taught me nothing
Happy 420k sub!!!!
When in highschool we went to police station on seminar about drugs. They explained every drug, they showed us pictures and effects these drugs have on individuals. They showed us what happens when people experience withdrawal from heroine. I left the police station totally terrified. I never tried any hard drug.

No you!
Neither have I, without the police.
I've done LSD, hash/marijuana and amphetamines (not exactly a soft drug), but I'll never touch meth, heroine or cocaine.
Drugs won the war on drugs. Time to decriminalize and regulate
C O R R U P T I O N won the "war on drugs".
You guys are doing great 👍
Legalize all drugs stop crime immediately
There's no profit in legalization.
Gov'ments demand their cut.
@@JonBernard41 what are taxes then, dummy?
Exactly - Demand is the issue. I think it's naive to label suppliers of the drug as evil while exonerating the users. Instead of accepting drug use, other measures should be put in place to rehabilitate addicts.
They already tried extremely harsh prison sentences for possession and that didn’t work lol
The only option is the full legalisation. Up to about a century ago and before that, things like cocaine, morphine, amphetamine etc were all legal and freely available at the pharmacy. It didn't cause any problems because it was affordable, the purity was assured, and it could be supplied in known dosages. What does illegality lead to? A huge increase in the price of drugs, in fact the more demonised and banned drugs are the higher the prices, which instead of eradicating them only causes those dependent on them to resort to even more desperate measures and the suppliers and sellers to make even bigger profits. Because it's so lucrative organised crime ends ends up getting involved in it, who usually make the majority of their profits from the drug trade but then often also branch out into other things like arms trafficking, human trafficking, organ trafficking, extortion, and a whole slew of other things. We see all too well in the Netherlands that full legalisation is the only solution, right now coffeeshops are exempt from prosecution if they sell cannabis or hash up to a certain amount of grams per transaction and if they don't hold more than half a kilo of cannabis products in stock at any one time. However coffeeshops are not allowed to buy the cannabis products they sell, and there is no government licensing or legal exemption for those who grow cannabis, thus still leading to serious problems. Because in order to get their products coffeeshops have to resort to buying it illegally, and as a result the majority of the cannabis production is in the hands of organised crime. The production of cannabis is worth several billion €, and with so much money involved the criminals have become incredibly ruthless and violent, we've have too many assasinations to count because of it, and a very strong organised crime built on the multi-billion € cannabis production. If only the government would allow a licensing system, where cannabis growers can apply for a license to grow it, abiding by strict regulations, then it would cause much of the organised crime here to collapse. And if they did the same for hard drugs like cocaine, amphetamine and ecstacy, there really would be almost no organised crime left in this country, because currently they make a killing off of it, both literally and figuratively, with just the production and sale of synthetic drugs in the Netherlands already having a yearly value of 18 billion € on a population on not even 18 million people.
No addicts no cartel
or the other way.. legalization and no cartel?
You must be a church going conservative that has no clue about human life.
Put all the users in work camps till they sweat it off so people won’t want to use it yeah use drugs you’re going to go to work camp for two years

As long as there’s buyer, war on drug already lost from the beginning.
Is this from 2016? Where is fullHD?
Legalize the drugs now and stop the crime and the madness
There is no reason not to legalize all drugs, it’s big pharma that’s the problem.
No it’s not lol
Lol! The old man saying stop buy it.. 🤣
Wow, when was this made? US is flooded with cocaine? That is news to me. As far as I have always known, pure cocaine is extremely rare in the US , almost non existent, most of the stuff is heavily cut by the time it reaches the US, and nowadays it is probably laced with fentanyl.
No it’s not cut before it gets to USA. It’s completely pure in order to get max volume into the states. If you’re not getting decent stuff then you need to search for a new plug. Atlanta is flooded with damn good stuff.
Waiting for next video.
Drug trafficking is glamorized in movies as the endless source of money that requires no skills.
It doesn't make sense to me. Those business models have to include, agriculture area, labs, markets, distributors and a large margin of consumers.
It's dangerous, it's illegal, destroy consumers.
How can they keep the income string when the business kills both, the distributor and the consumer?
The glamour of the drug business must be a scam. It has to be sponsored. There's no way it could produce the earnings they claim.
They have like 30% pure profit
Are you kidding ? New consumers are born every day. Have you not seen busts involving tons of drugs ?
@@senoow4215 lol that's adorable if you truly believe that. you think people would risk their lives for a mere 30% profit?

What goes around , comes around. Europe did this to China remember?
There person who colorized this black and white footage did a good job!
24 billion annually !! WOW ! thats insane ... and thats just for that region 😳
Exactly so why are governments not regulating it, taxing it and using that money to educate and for treatment facilities?
I'd like to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.
Fentanyl has dropped the bottom out of the US smack market… why import when you can cook at home? THAT is why…
The veil has worn thin, matey.
Here comes all the alcoholics with undiagnosed liver cancer and look 15 yrs older than their actual age to call people who use drugs names
i live in Canada B.C west coat Vancouver and area, and the streets have been flooded with fentanyl laced heroin meth etc, since 2015
I live in your area,And i have had 6 friends die because of it in past few years,There is no such thing as real heroin anymore out here.
Notice how China's dumping that fentanyl b.s mostly in democracies where people have rights you never hear about problems and overdose like we have in the u.s and canada....its just a way to destabilize and slowly kill a whole generation making them rich and us strung out poor and dependent on it...china should be held responsible for this epidemic the same as they should for the corona pandemic
The War on Drugs means almost unimaginable sums of money going to innumerable law enforcement agencies and the prison industry around the world. They will never give this up. They have a sweet deal and this is the sole reason prohibition will continue. Only when it becomes less profitable than alternative schemes will it ever end.
I agree, when no profit no transport. Regulate drugs like we do alcohol and tobacco. Cartels will dissappear in time.
Prisons aren't for profit outside the US. EU countries have no incentive to lock their citizens up for extended periods of time. Your view on the world is very narrow.
Europe is flooded with drugs is simple. Europe is thriving with clients.
The opposite of addiction is connection.
Heroin is a drug too.
What a nice world.
You need anything?
Reset and Replace
what’s a “lore enforcement agency”
That guy - "If you stop buying it, maybe they will stop doing it".
My guyyyyy life and the world is fkd up as it is cuz of other people. It is embedded that the consumer rate will increase and continue to do so as it is. Unless you can offer something better and you can't.
As long as there is income inequality, drug dealers will always exist, and as long as people are unhappy, they will use drugs...
So this Jungle is pumping out 45Tons, 35 Tons, 16 Tons, 27 Tons, And supposedly this is just what were to see. It doesn't add up.
Besides heroïne i would say that most drugs are used reasonably responsibly by most europeans. Its actually really nice to be able to buy drugs whenever you want. Once again meth heroïne and those type of chemical drugs are a different story and every city definitely has a couple aggresive junkies. Personally I believe that if you make enough other safer drugs available for people that want to forget and people that want a good time, youll reduce the amount of drug crime and hard drugs addict
Kind of like how every town has a mean drunk... 😄
That absolutely does not work. Look at places like Cali, Colorado, Illinois, New York. They all have legal weed but u don't see all the junkies switching from heroin and meth to weed just cause it's legal. If u wanna stop heavy drug use, u gotta address the problem that caused the person to wanna get high in the first place. Treat the disease not the symptoms.
@@erikcollins3598 a weed junky is less bad for everyone than a heroïne junky. I dont know if youve ever seen a junky on meth or heroine but theyre violent plus they slowly decay because of the drug usage. So it doesnt really make sense what youre saying. Not all drugs have the same effect so its better to get them hooked on less severe drugs
@@warfighter1988 Unfortunately in my neighbourhood I have to walk past junkies almost every day. Heroin users, in my experience, aren't violent. They are barely even awake. They just kind of sit there on the pavement, glassy eyed.
@warfighter1988. There's no such thing as a weed junkie. My point is in places that have alternatives to hard drugs it's made no difference in what people choose to do. Legalizing acid or mushrooms or any other "soft drug" isn't gonna suddenly make all the junkies switch. That's not how addiction works.
There will always be drug consumption as long as Humans exist. The real issue is the failed "war on drugs". The violence comes from the people selling, not the ones using.
The guy killed me when he said: people just need to stop buying drugs and the people will stop selling them ... Uh YEAHHHH ... logic .. And this guy wrote a book?! mmmmm
Ud think that they'd see that there's more money 2 be made off of selling rather than their feeble efforts at eradication.
About Myanmar ?
Because the demand is high
This is war its lost from the beginning
i hate to say....but are they only criminal because the government isnt involved? seems a little silly...drug trade is apart of the global economy. clearly if people want to use them they will regardless so why is it illegal/criminal to supply demand
@ 28:00 yeeeesh , homie !! 🙄
everyone in the uk seems to be taking cocaine these days. ive never seen so many people taking class a drugs as if its no consequence..

Would research into psychedelics and application not solves these issues? We can look at the networks but we can all starve the source of the problem by expanding mental health but also provide access to certain drugs.

Demand - Supply

That was not a catch but only a decoy. The 12,000 kilo shipment got through the port !!!
The drug trade will force every country to work has one . No matter what's is the political ideology. 🤔
In Calabria it's obvious who is who on the lungo mare from Reggio to Siderno & beyond.
Well, the demand is huge. The winner of war on drugs is clearly drugs. Countries who legalize at least possession do much better. Just legalize it all. Crime will go down, consumption as well and the state will generate massive tax revenues.
On the money, being saying the same thing for year's 👊🇮🇪
Exactly.
In that case consumption will not go down , it'll increase in fact. New adults like students will easily get addicted and the future generations will suffer a lot. Use of drugs will be one a new normal. The fabric of the society will get crumbled.
I understand what u trying to say but the grass always seems green on the other side. Some countries have have tried it and failed miserably. It's a gamble that we can't make.
@@Leap6 never happened where it has been legalized. do some research
War on drugs complete failure, needle junkies here in NC get free needles someone is making bank and I bet its the good ol government they always come ahead
Its the same out here in Canada,I have a friend that gets free needles,And everything they need to cook it and shoot it,Even gets it delivered to his house,It just seems wrong.🤔
@@lovemyjayde3441 wow no doubt just seems like something isn’t right. There lowering consent age of a teen here,what is the consent age in Canada?
there is no war on drugs, there is war about drugs between criminal gangs. Giving container runners a 90 euro fine is far from what I would call war. The Dutch did not care much about cocaine coming in, now that it hurts too much it is suddenly possible to do a lot more checking. While before that was deemed impossible (read , we don't want to spend money on it). Now it is suddenly moving to Antwerp, until they have their security in place and it will be somewhere else.
Just watching makes me want to get high!
Legalize!
Hard to beat the government
And guess who else capitalizes their profits? All the agencies fighting the war on drugs. And how’s that going for the rest of us?
What’s the difference in drugs and alcohol. Can you imagine the money and resources these countries could redirect, if they’d just legalize them ALL. My grand mother always taught me, “People do what they like and they like what they do” with that being said if someone wants anything bad enough they’ll get it! If drugs are widely available like cigarettes and alcohol most people wouldn’t even really want them. Humans long for what they can’t have and once they have it they don’t want it.
Legalize! Tax for the states, no money/no business for the criminals, purer/healthier drugs and better/easier life for the addicts.
Money is always major issue that's y police fall for proceeds of drugs which is quite lump sum and can never make the amount in their whole policing career
Losing fight legalize can't stop addiction like homeless people

I liken the '''war on drugs''' to the war on people smugglers. No one is forcing anyone at gun point, it's by choice, Where there are no buyers there will be no sellers. put all those billions on prevention, and rehabilitation, from school age, decriminalize the drugs, because when the addicts can't get the '''real'' stuff they concoct it themselves, give the drugs free to the addicts while slowly weaning them off it, that would put the cartels out of business
Well said and a great point ....because alot of other agencies ...will now suffer from their own taxpayer's budget losses 😯🤔😎 and then it will create even more chaos...😯🇺🇸 and then our own innocent people will become their newest targets 😔🤔🤨of their already🇺🇸 by design and manufacturer's of the failed wars on drugs 🤺🤣😯🤔🤨😔
Great 💡 ideas
then buyers becomes producter
Because of rising consumer market all over Europe, simply so...
legalize all drugs ....
This was made when H was the worst thing that could happen.
We would be lucky to have H instead of fentanyl and tranq
Because there's LOTS of money here and massive demand. Simple.
Stop buying is not a solution. Simply because people start using drugs relativly young. Youth follows every hype there is out there, bc strong mentality and temperment is yet to be developed, and as they are mostly in the risk of eddiction, drug trafficking must be fought by any means.
Because it worked so well in America. Get ready chaps, it's a real problem
