Illegal drug use is in decline, NHS figures reveal

In Britain a generational shift away from drugs may be under way, addiction experst suggested today, as figures showed that illegal substances were declining in popularity among all age groups. Fewer people in England and Wales are taking drugs such as cannabis, cocaine or heroin, according to an NHS survey. Even use of drugs at the younger generation declines. It could be to do with young people’s culture and fashion, that they are more aware of the fact they could do themselves harm by taking drugs. It is a fair supposition that at least some young people are a bit more savvy about the downsides of drugs. The department of Health welcomed the decline but they say there is still much more to do.

reaction:
They are right, there is still much more to do, but this is a start. For the figures you have to look in the article, but it really shows the decrease of using drugs on every age. I do not know anything about those statistics in the Netherlands. That would be a lot worse I guess. I do not really know what you can do about it, because if people want to try it, they will find a way to do it. I’ve never done it, but I don’t feel the need of doing it. But I went to parties were a lot of people used a kind of drugs, I don’t know which one, I even don’t know which different kinds there are. I don’t want to get involved with things like that.
