Drug Enforcement Officer Streeck issues a warning about the straightforward acquisition of illicit substances
In a recent statement, Federal Drug Commissioner Hendrik Streeck (CDU) has expressed concern about the growing accessibility of dangerous drugs, particularly for young people. Among these substances, crack cocaine stands out as the drug of greatest concern.
Streeck, who has highlighted the issue as a significant problem for youth protection, has noted an increase in the spread of potent and unforeseen substances across Europe. He has stated that there is nothing to hold against crack, and a single hit from a crack pipe can lead to permanent addiction.
Crack, a highly addictive and damaging drug, is associated with aggressive behavior and severe health damage. Unlike heroin, there is no substitution therapy for crack; only behavioral therapies and psychotherapy are available as options.
The concerning trend of crack's spread is exacerbated by its ease of access. Dangerous drugs, including crack, can be ordered in the Darknet or even the normal internet, and delivered directly to a teenager's room.
Streeck has called for a nationwide early warning system for emergency services, addiction help, and those affected. He believes such a system would help combat the growing issue of potent and unforeseen substances, which Streeck has noted as part of the problem.
In Germany, there are no publicly disclosed major manufacturers of crack. Instead, crack cocaine is typically produced and distributed illegally by organized criminal networks involved in drug trafficking. Current conditions indicate ongoing challenges with illegal cocaine and crack distribution, including contamination of street cocaine with unknown substances.
The issue of crack is not isolated to Germany. Across Europe, substances such as Fentanyl and synthetic opioids like Nitazenes, which can be deadly even in tiny amounts, are also causing concern.
As the spread of crack continues, Streeck urges vigilance and a united effort to combat this dangerous drug and protect young people from its harmful effects.
