Can this post be moved to either Europe and others, or to drugs in the media thanks

Scotland is the drugs capital of Europe, according to a United Nations report that shows cocaine and amphetamine use is higher than in any other country.

Figures published by the UN show that 3.8% of Scots consume cocaine, compared with 3% in Spain, 2.3% in England and Wales and 2.2% in Italy.

Just over 2.2% of Scots use amphetamine, more than double the proportion in England and Wales. Scotland is also ranked second out of 47 European countries for heroin, cannabis and ecstasy use.

The alarming statistics have prompted calls by opposition politicians and drugs campaigners for urgent action. Senior police officers have admitted that drugs enforcement is not enough and that better intelligence and co-operation between countries is needed.

A report published last week in The Sunday Times claimed that police are seizing just 1% of the heroin consumed in Scotland every year.

“These latest figures are simply terrible and reflect very badly on our society,” said Bill Aitken, justice spokesman for the Scottish Conservatives. “The government’s current obsession with drink might be more properly directed to reviewing drugs policy with a much more determined approach based on abstinence. If we continue down the present road, heaven knows the number of addicted persons we will have in ten years.”
