Getting addicted to nangs, being tracked by your parents + the Met Gala

Hack

About this episode

Experts are warning that nang use is on the rise across the country. So what's it like to be addicted to nangs? We speak to a 21-year-old who wants access to nangs restricted after his addiction caused a drug-induced psychosis.

And should you let your parents track your location at all times? Because more and more parents are tracking their adult children, and it could be normalising coercion tactics. 

Plus, we unpack why jars of 'urine' were left at the Met Gala.
