Queensland - our nation's drugmaker
March 05, 2008 11:36am
QUEENSLAND seems to be the centre of the clandestine manufacture of amphetamines, supplying the nation with the illegal stimulants, a UN report says.
The report from the UN drug watchdog, the International Narcotics Control Board, found 11 per cent of the population aged 14 and older had used cannabis.
Australia also reported a high rate of amphetamine abuse.
Criminals were smuggling in precursor chemicals to manufacture amphetamines, the report says.
"In Australia, Queensland seems to be the base of (amphetamine) clandestine manufacturing, which supplies the whole country," the report said.
The abuse of cannabis and amphetamine-type stimulants in Oceania was among the highest in the world, it said.
