What is it? The city that consumes the most drugs in Europe?

The European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) carried out a study that included the daily analysis of wastewater from 67 European cities belonging to 27 countries, during a week of March 2016, looking for traces of the use of drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines and MDMA (ecstasy), among others.This study has been carried out for five years, and again the city what more drugs he consumes turned out to be London , at least in the case of cocaine, with 909 milligrams per 1,000 people, and reaching 1,047 milligrams during the end Weekend , leaving the second city far behind in this ranking of dubious honor, A msterdam, which despite the permissiveness that characterizes it, recorded only 642 milligrams.

London

It was also possible to verify that the dynamics with the so-called recreational drugs are different during the weekends, in which Antwerp beat London in drug use.

Although the various agencies that monitor the use of illegal drugs in Europe report a decrease in consumption compared to 2007 and 2008, results of these latest analyzes reveal an increase in MDMA consumption compared to 2011.

The analyzes show that drug use is higher in Belgium and the Netherlands, England and Spain; and that there is greater consumption in Western Europe and in the nations that are in the Mediterranean basin.In Spain there are cities like Barcelona (461.1 mg) and Valencia ( 278.2), located respectively in the fifth and ninth place of European cities with the highest consumption of narcotic drugs; and the case of Paris is noteworthy, with a consumption of 161 milligrams per 1,000 people, it is in the middle of the list of cities evaluated.

Barcelona

The first 5 cities by levels of consumption would be London, Amsterdam , Antwerp, Zurich and Barcelona ; however, in the case of cocaine, Spain occupies the second place , after the United Kingdom, with 3.3% of the population between 15 and 34, while in the United Kingdom it would be a 4.2.Both percentages would be well above the European average, which is 1.9%.

Other interesting and worrying data from this study is that consumption has increased of heroin and that there is an increasing number of new psychotropic substances in this clandestine market.An example is worthwhile: in 2014, 101 new substances of this class were detected, 80 more than in the previous year; and most would not even be subject to some kind of legislation or control.

Studies such as the one carried out by the EMCDDA go beyond satisfying curiosity to know which city consumes the most drugs, its purpose is have a more realistic view of a problem where information is usually covered up or falsified, in order to develop health and safety strategies that are able to live up to the true dimensions of the problem.
