Trends
• Increase in number of cannabis users• Change in legislation (alternatives to prison)• Alternatives to prison: mainly cannabis users• Decrease in number of opiate users –
decreasing injecting heroin use• Steady cocaine use – despite clinical
experience, where we see increasing non-problem cocaine use
• Gender and age: no difference between 2002 – 2003
