Abstract
Heroin is the most commonly used opiate with 29.2 million users in 2017 worldwide, which represents a more than twofold increase of the estimated global consumption compared to 20081,2. By contrast, only a slight increase from 1.3 to 1.4 million drug users was observed in Europe over the last decade3,4. The recent discovery of illicit heroin laboratories in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Spain, and the Netherlands and the increase in drug seizures in Europe suggest that a percentage of street heroin is now pproduced closer to the European drug market| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
