Lately I've been thinking about the drug situation in Australia and it seems the VAST majority of drug use is made up of cannabis, ecstasy and methamphetamine (generally in its most impure form A.K.A 'speed') with very limited use of pretty much all other illicit substances.
What I have been thinking about is WHY this is the case. Why is it that drugs like ketamine, LSD, crack cocaine etc. are so underused when compared to the 3 mentioned 'mainstream' illicit drugs even though the less used ones aren't neccessarily worse for the body or mind? Edit- Availability discussions are not allowed
Finally, what drug market do you think has been the least capitalized on in a sense of what drug do you think could be up there with the more common ones if it was more available or marketed well? why? could posters please include their location?
My answer would have to be cocaine as the least capitalized on drug market. Cocaine because it definately has a glamour associated with it that can't quite be said about any other drug imho. Because of this it would take off with all the people who take drugs in an effort to be cool and be huge in the club scene if higher quality coke were available at a slightly more affordable price. I personally think cocaine *could* become as socially acceptable as it is in the UK if some smart kingpins get to work.
Anyway, thanks to anyone who read this long ass post and even more to anyone who takes the time to reply, peace.
Mods, to clarify, I felt this topic belonged in ADD because obviously drug markets are subjective to location and I am interested in the answer to this question specifically to Australia and its regions. Furthermore, this is not an availability discussion as I am not only asking about how available they are they also have to have potenital to be introduced mainstream (mainstream refrring to being in say top few illicit drugs used, not mainstream society.).
