The toxic waste from drugs like ecstasy, speed or crystal meth | DW Documentary

Whether it’s ecstasy, speed or crystal meth, producing illicit synthetic drugs generates toxic waste. This often ends up in the local environment, posing a threat to humans, wildlife and the land. We look at cases in the Netherlands and Germany. Could we just be seeing the tip of the iceberg? How big is the problem of waste from illicit drug production? In the Netherlands - the European center of illegal synthetic drug production - a public debate is underway over the dangers of toxic waste.
