Report On Cannabis In Europe Shows Use By 1 In 5 Adults

[User]

One in five adults in Europe have used marijuana or related drugs like hashish, the European Union’s drug agency said. In a 700-page report on the use and abuse of cannabis, the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction, based in Lisbon, estimated that more than 13 million Europeans had used it in the past month.

The report aims to be an authoritative reference on scientific research, legislation and policy issues associated with the drug in Europe. It highlights legal disparities among member countries: Portugal, for example, decriminalized cannabis use in 2000, while Denmark and Italy toughened their laws.

The report also found a wide range of prices for a gram of cannabis, from 1.4 euros in Spain ($2.19) to 21.5 euros ($33.68) in Norway.
