Considerazioni sulla cocaina: presentazione ed analisi di una casistica

Cocaine consumption represents a serious danger for human health and our Country has provided a detailed set of rules to this regard by DPR 309/90 amended after the referendum of 1993 which decriminalizes the possession of drug for personal use according to established amounts during confiscation. As far as cocaine is concerned the established limited quantity is 750 mg of main active ingredient (so as to be considered consumer and not drugdealer). What is particularly important is the amount of adulterants contained in the drug dose, which is particularly dangerous and harmful. This study proposes some considerations about the prevalence of adulterants in drug-trafficking in particularly in cocaine in Lazio region through the laboratory sampling tests of the Agenzia Regionale Protezione Ambiente del Lazio, in order to draw useful considerations regarding the treatment of intoxicated patients.
