It is not the first time we have warned about the critical situation in Catalonia with drugs. The danger signs persist. And they are diverse. Is the population sufficiently aware? Are the administrations sufficiently aware?

The other day, The ARA editorial spoke of a very serious problem: Catalonia leads—in other respects, no—world drug consumption. We read: "What has become of the "No to drugs" of a few decades ago? Is there a certain frivolity when talking about it? Tobacco is fortunately stigmatized, and alcohol increasingly so. Regarding the abuse of anti-anxiety drugs (here too, we are world leaders in consumption), associated with a hard and marginal drug addiction, it is on the decline. On the other hand, cocaine, linked to glamorous success (economic, artistic), far from creating social alarm, circulates with impunity."
