HEROIN, COCAINE AND CRYSTAL METH FOR SALE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

HEROIN, cocaine, cannabis and crystal meth are all being offered for sale on social media sites across Wales and the UK, we can reveal. A search in the Wales section of Craigslist uncovered 100 links to pages offering illegal narcotics. Many sold prescription pills, as well as banned substances.

One Cardiff-based dealer going under the name of “Bestpushers” boasted a shopping list of dope that included Xanax, LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, crystal meth, heroin and ketamine.

The seller urged users to get in touch, saying: “If you are suffering from health problem. Then you are at the right health centre at the right time.

“Tell your doctor your problem and get solution.” A seller in the Valleys offering “drugs for sales” wrote: “Any local teens etc whatever get in touch have good weed and fair prices.”

In Swansea a peddler dubbed “cashondelivery” was offering “speed, gear, charlie, ice, kush, weed, marijuana, coke, bud, 420, shard, LSD”.

Kush is the deadly synthetic cannabis better known as spice, while shard is crystal meth. The term 420 is slang for cannabis.

Our investigation also uncovered dealers operating on Facebook and Twitter.

New York-based Facebook page “Medical Marijuana and Cannabis Oil for Sale” boasted “top grade medical marijuana” that it was happy to ship to the UK.

“All orders are shipped from our main branch in the US using either DHL, Fedex, UPS, USPS and EMS depending on buyers location around the globe,” the page said.

A UK-based Facebook page called “Diazepam Sales” offered sleeping pills, cannabis, cocaine and viagra.

“Contact for more info and price,” it said.

On Twitter @budsoasis was flogging “cannabis, weed, oil, THC, CBD, wax, edibles, concentrates”.

Meanwhile @goldmedications tweeted: “Buy crack cocaine online.”
