Melbourne like any city has drug use (used to be huge heroin usage but has dropped), and for decades now enlightened policies, e.g. needle exchanges etc.

Possibility of being exposed to "drugs" is near "zero" except maybe see some things late at night in particular areas i.e. near clubs.

Crime rates are same as other cities and according to a Turkish student's mother staying in city, great, she could walk streets at night without a problem on her way to Crown Casino....

The biggest drug problem in Melbourne and Australia is legal i.e. alcohol.....
