Cannabis, cocaine, amphetamines and LSD are the most commonly used drugs across Europe, the Lisbon-based European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction said in its annual report.
It estimates 4 million Europeans use cannabis daily, or almost daily, while 12 million people have used cocaine at least once. In comparison 11 million Europeans have taken amphetamines and 9.5 million ecstasy.
New drugs gaining popularity
Newer drugs like BZP, GHP and Ketamine are fast emerging as drugs of choice. Another emerging drug is Fentanyl, which according to the report "is considerably more potent than heroin and its use can be particularly risky".
