European study reveals rise in cocaine and synthetic substance consumption
The European drugs specialisation body, based in Lisbon, presented its annual survey on drug use across the continent this morning. The document indicates that Europeans are consuming more cocaine and more chemical compounds manufactured in laboratories.
The study also draws attention to changes in the ways illegal cannabis reaches consumers. Supply routes and distribution techniques are shifting, reflecting a market in constant transformation.
The Portuguese organisation emphasises that these new trends represent increased dangers to public health, given the emergence of new substances and increasingly sophisticated commercialisation methods.
