Britain has worst drug addiction rate in Europe


Drug-related crime costs England and Wales more than £13 billion a year and damages the health of hundreds of thousands of addicts, according to a report.
The UK has the highest levels of addiction and multi-drug consumption and the second-highest rate of drug-related deaths in Europe, the document claimed.
More than 320,000 problem drug users commit "very high numbers of offences" - mostly shoplifting, but also violent crime.
The report, commissioned for the launch yesterday of the charity-funded UK Drug Policy Commission (UKDPC), highlighted research that around a quarter of 26 to 30-year-olds have tried Class A drugs - including heroin and cocaine, and around 45 per cent of young people have used cannabis.
