I don't know about where street drug trafficking were heading these last 8 years since I didn't met a real life drug dealer since 2014, I only heard from (ex)-drug users, social workers, ex-dealer, and of course, the press. That in northern europe...
The current thing on the rise here seems to be ketamine, according to a social workers.
There was in local news papers article about gangs shooting (and launching grenades?) at each other after confiscated cocaine shipment... And Stephen Colbert joked about Belgium asking for help to distroy cocaine seizure. I met people who did jail time for various substances trafficking. I met people who were in recovery for cocaine addiction. I even met with someone advocating for drug legalization... And I know for sure some ex-neihbours set up a phony business to launder years of pot trafficking benefices.
But I never met, heard or read or whatever or whoever having encountered methamphetamine in any way (or someone having met someone else having encoutered methamphetamine)...
And I live 30 minutes away in train from the closest dutch city. I also live in the city with the (reportedly) highest number of drug users (and dealers?) per capita in the country.
So I don't know what to think about d-tartric acid seizure in holland and belgium, and where the corresponding drug is sold, but methamphetamine is definitively not a thing here.
