Shocking data reveals unprecedented number of people using cocaine in France - According to data published by the French Observatory for Drugs and Addictive Trends this week, more than one million people in France used cocaine at least once in 2023. The demand for the drug has never been so high. Trends published on Wednesday 15th January, showed that this is almost double the number of 600,000 recorded in the previous report for 2022. In detail, 2.7% of the adults surveyed experimented with cocaine in 2023 (3.9% of men and 1.6% of women). Nearly one in ten people (9.4%) say they have already used it in their life (13.4% for men, 5.5% for women). France is now the seventh European country where the consumption is the highest. Research continues to find out the reasons behind the increase in numbers. Some researchers are pointing to the fact that the three main producing countries, Colombia, Bolivia and Peru have never produced so much cocaine, the drop in price, as well as drug dealers who are constantly improving their sales techniques in order to reach a wider range of consumers.
