Marijuana is the most used drug in Europe, according to a new EU (European Union) report released yesterday, the Euro News website reports today (June 12, 2015).
Seventy-nine million Europeans have tried it at some point in their lives, experts at the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction found in a study of legal and illegal narcotics use across the continent.
Marijuana -- or pot as it is also called -- accounts for 80 percent of drug seizures on the continent and 60 percent of all reported drug offenses.
The same study found that cocaine is the second most popular drug in Europe, as it has been used by some 15.6 million people. The experts behind the report also said that banning "legal highs" will only force the trade underground.
