UN says 275 million people used drugs worldwide in 2020 ANI 25 Jun 2021, 15:18 GMT+10 Geneva [Switzerland], June 25 (ANI): Around 36 million people suffered from drug use disorders as 275 million people used drugs worldwide in 2020, according to the 2021 World Drug Report which was released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) on Thursday. As per the report, in the last 24 years, cannabis potency had increased by as much as four times in parts of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. In surveys of health professionals across 77 countries, 42 per cent asserted that cannabis use had increased. Lower perception of drug use risks has been linked to higher rates of drug use, and the findings of UNODC s 2021 World Drug Report highlight the need to close the gap between perception and reality to educate young people and safeguard public health, said UNODC Executive Director Ghada Waly.
