The lastest reports from the Observatoire Français des Drogues et des Toxicomanies (OFDT) have shown that France was amongst the countries which consumed the most narcotics in Europe. It is imperative that this behavior, which has grave consequences and mostly affects youth aged from 12 to 25 – (who make up 69% of daily users), should have an appropriate response.

A wide variety of narcotics are consumed in France, but it is cannabis which is the most consumed illegal substance.
The number of regular users is on the rise.

We should note that drug addiction has evolved into an addiction to various products, mixing together different drugs, medicines and alcohol. Furthermore, we have observed a general trivializing concerning the use of narcotics.
