Excerpts:

Crystal meth is a highly addictive substance that's considered one of the most dangerous drugs in the world. Sometimes referred to as the "poor man's cocaine", it's made from ingredients that are easy to purchase. Consumption of crystal meth is on the rise in Europe, with large quantities being produced illegally in the Netherlands. The drug is wreaking havoc in Germany in particular, where more and more people are taking this stimulant. FRANCE 24's Alix Le Bourdon, Anne Mailliet, Fernande van Tets and Nick Spicer report.
