Ljubljana – Slovenian cities are mostly below international average when it comes to the use of illicit drugs, with the exception of ecstasy levels in Ljubljana and amphetamine in Velenje, an international study based on waste water analysis for 2020 has shown.
The study, released by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, in cooperation with the SCORE network, involved 99 cities in 27 countries with a total population of 50 million, including six Slovenian cities or urban areas.
According to information provided by the Jožef Stefan Institute (IJS), which coordinates the study in Slovenia, Ljubljana recorded the highest levels of biomarkers of cocaine, ecstasy and methamphetamine in its wastewater, while Velenje had the highest level of traces of amphetamine among the six Slovenian towns included in the study.
An analysis of untreated sewage from 82 cities across Europe indicates that people in Belgium, Croatia, and the Netherlands consumed the most illicit drugs during the first wave of COVID-19 lockdowns. Collected between March and May 2020, the samples were analyzed for traces of MDMA, amphetamine and methamphetamine, as well as metabolites of cocaine and cannabis.
Conducted by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, the wastewater analysis project is now in its tenth year, and data from the latest edition makes for interesting reading when compared to previous findings. For example, the closure of nightlife venues has upset trends in MDMA use, which is primarily consumed as a party drug.
