High Society (2017)

Episode Overview

The marketing of drugs has reached unprecedented levels, with the latest European Drug Report describing this phenomenon as an “uberisation” of the drug trade, making it simpler to order a gram of cocaine than a pizza. However, this convenience has led to alarming consequences, including a significant rise in drug use among children as young as 10. Tragically, there has been a surge in fatalities among young users of Class A drugs like ecstasy, many of whom purchased them through platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. VICE’s Tir Dhondy delves into the ease of access to these substances and explores the possibility of regulating this chaotic digital landscape.
