LONG GRASSERSBOONGS are turning to the illicit drug "ice" in large numbers, a Larrakia Nation team leader says.
Larrakia Nation's Night Patrol team leader Nelson Tinoco said long grassers were using crystal methamphetamines - also known as ice - to get a stronger high.
"Drugs are the biggest thing (for long grassers), ice is massive," he told the NT News. "They smoke it from a pipe, the glass pipes are all over the place, they leave them behind.
"Sometimes you'll see the pipes all around (Mindil Beach) and Casuarina wherever they've been camping out. I see (evidence of) it about five or six nights a week. It's a growing problem. I think it's a bigger high (than alcohol).
"We and the police know the hot spots but we don't know how they afford it."
NT Police have denied the dangerous drug is being used by itinerants.
Poor hospital staff! Poor ambos and you can bet the level of antisocial coon activity is going to increase!
