Black Market Prescription Drugs

By:   •   May 11, 2017

Drug addiction experts have told the ABC that there could be an increase of a black market for selling prescription drugs across Australia.

The number of people getting scripts for prescription pain killers has jumped 400 per cent in the past 20 years.

The drug testing technology used by Drug-Safe Communities is so sophisticated it can identify types of drugs being used by people, from cocaine and methamphetamines to heroin and cannabis to combinations (unique recipes) of prescription drugs.

The drugs were found concealed inside a wall cavity in a house and hidden in the back seat of a vehicle.

WA Police Minister Michelle Roberts said “Methamphetamine is a scourge…it’s probably the biggest driver of crime in our community.”

Drug-Safe Community is looking for people in WA who want to become agents of change…who want to leave a legacy of changed communities…to contact us about setting up franchises in city and regional areas.

A True Story

I turned up for work and wondered where my business partner was. Several hours later I discovered why he didn’t appear. He had been found dead in an alley way at Kings Cross with a needle still in his arm. He had died of a heroin overdose. 

I had no idea that he had a drug addiction. We had been working together for 15 years. How was it that he had managed to keep it a secret from me?

The shock of this tragic discovery worsened when I found out he had been fiddling the books in order to pay for his habit. He had taken more than $300,000 from the company account.

No matter how well you think you know someone…you don’t.
