Which European City Consumes the Most Cocaine?

A new study suggests that Londoners consume the most cocaine during the week. However, it was also found that, when weekends were taken into account, the Belgian city of Antwerp overtook the UK’s capital for cocaine consumption. The results were published by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA).

A EMCDDA spokesperson noted overall tests “indicate that cocaine use is highest in western and southern European cities, particularly in cities in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK.” On the other hand, analyses point to “very low to negligible cocaine use in the majority of eastern European cities.”
