(Photo : Reuters) The amount and range of synthetic drugs produced in China is fast multiplying.
An Australian man went undercover in China to trace the drug dealers who sold harmful synthetic drugs to his late son.
In 2013, a 16-year-old Australian teenager leaped off the balcony under the influence of synthetic drugs and died. In order to figure out where those drugs came from, the boy's father, Rod Bridge, went to China and posed as a buyer to infiltrate drug suppliers in Hefei city.

Accompanied by a Channel Nine television crew, he wore a hidden camera to record every detail of his exchanges with the drug bosses.
During his meeting with the dealers, Bridge was offered five types of synthetic drugs to take to Australia. One of the deals involved over 200 kilograms.
"One hundred kilogram is fine. We will disguise the drug in some materials to make it easy to pass the Customs," one seller told to Rod.
The drug boss even showed the best way to mask the drug products: the drugs were sealed in a plastic bag and hidden in a fish tank filter.
"We had lots of experience in sending package to Australia. We know how the Customs work," another seller claimed.
All of the conversations between Rod and the drug suppliers were recorded on a hidden camera and was broadcast on CBS's 60 Minutes.
"We're on the verge of some sort of tsunami about to happen and these synthetic drugs that are coming in are just going to get bigger and bigger and this has got to stop. Somebody's got to stop it." Bridge told The Telegraph.
