The UNODC report also contains some interesting data about cocaine pricing in Europe and the United States
Published
According to a recent report from the
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 275 million people used illegal drugs last year while over 36 million suffered from drug use disorders. Worryingly, cocaine supply chains to
Europe are now diversifying which is driving prices down and pushing quality up, potentially increasing the level of harm caused by the use of the drug in the region.
Cocaine’s global footprint quickly becomes apparent from its huge number of nicknames – blow, bump, Blanca, C, Big C, coke, dust, flake, icing, line, nose candy, pearl, rail, snow, sneeze, sleigh ride, snow-white, sniff, speedball, toot and white rock to name just a few.
