I learn a lot from teaching adults now and a cop who comes to my class said it is becoming more common to see young Taiwanese take/busted for drugs. He also said it is always easier to focus on the foreign crowd than the locals for the media, it makes for better news and confirms the sterotypes. He’s also seen a lot of drunk drivers. A woman that is local a doctor told me because of all the stress placed on locals many take legal drugs to the point where they are now addicts.
Yeah, I tried some different crap in HS and college, but after a cousin almost ODed in 2000 I was finished!
