Low rates of drug use in Greece

According to a recent European survey, Greece has the lowest rates of drug use in the EU. The annual report by the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Drugs (ESPAD) showed that:

1. 3% of Greeks aged 15-34 have used cannabis
2. 0.25% have used ecstasy
3. 0.2% have used cocaine.

The Czech Republic, on the contrary, has the highest rates:

• cannabis use: 22%
• ecstasy use: 5%
• cocaine use: 5.5%

According to another survey, 95% of Greeks are against the legalisation of heroin, while 81% are against the legalisation and free sale of cannabis.

One in two Greeks (51%) believes that drug use should be a criminal offence. 25% believe the opposite, while 19% believe in a case-by-case approach

Interestingly, in answer to the question whether they would employ a former drug user, eight out of ten employers answered no, because they would be worried about the person’s trustworthiness and reliability at work.
