Thank you for raising that question. My answer is very clear: no, it is not good at all. Firstly, it is not good for people to become addicted to drugs.
The European Monitoring Centre in Lisbon is developing five key indicators that will allow us to have more reliable data, so that we can compare that data among the Member States and establish a clearer link between the policy line of Member States and the impact of that policy line on the pattern of consumption. These five indicators refer to figures for drugs used among the general population, the problem of drug use connected with infectious diseases, drugs-related deaths and the treatment provided by Member States for those who ask to be treated for drug addiction. I hope that the work in progress with these five indicators will give us a clearer picture of the situation in Europe.
I would just add that my concern today is, above all, the proliferation in the use of synthetic drugs and the upsurge of a new profile of drug addict: the poly-consumption consumer. Poly-consumption is a new pattern; it comes from a combination of illicit drugs and licit drugs. We need more research and more reliable information in order to be able to fight against this new profile that has arisen in the last few years."@en1
