Abstract |
Cannabis is Europe’s most commonly used illicit drug, with approximately 20 million adults, or around 6% of the population aged 15-64 years, having used the drug in the last year. An indication of the public health impact of the drug can be seen in the numbers entering specialised treatment in Europe for drugrelated problems, among whom cannabisis the second most frequently reported drug, after heroin. Against this backdrop, identifying the characteristics of frequentand high-risk cannabis users can help with the identification and design of interventions for those cannabis users most at risk of experiencing problems. |

Abstract |
Hepatitis C is the most common infectious disease in injecting drug users, among whom it is usually transmitted through the sharing of injecting equipment such as needles and syringes. Most of those who become infected go on to develop chronic HCV infection, which can lead to severe health problems in individuals and place a major burden on health care systems. Yet hepatitis C is both preventable and curable, and interventions in this field, particularly the development of new medicines to treat hepatitis C, are making rapid progress. |

Abstract |
EU drugs strategies and action plans direct collective action in the field of drugs both within the European Union and at international level. They do not impose legal obligations on EU Member States but promote a shared model with defined priorities, objectives, actions and metrics for measuring performance. Member States, and also some candidate and pre-accession countries, use this framework to develop their own national policy documents, which are increasingly synchronised with the EU strategy. They remain free to emphasise different national priorities within the overall framework of an integrated, balanced andevidence-based approach to the drugs problem. |

Abstract |
The heroin epidemics that spread across Europe in the 1980s resulted in increasing numbers of overdose deaths among opioid users. Although the annual number of reported deaths peaked around the turn of the millennium, drug overdose still claimed more than 70 000 in Europe in the subsequent decade. Despite the fact that recent data show some promising signs, with the number of reported overdose deaths falling from around 7 700 to 6 500 between 2009 and 2011, stable or increasing death tolls continue to be reported, for example in Estonia, Sweden and the United Kingdom (Scotland). |

|
| |
Abstract |
Synthetic cannabinoids, or more correctly, synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists, mimic the effect of cannabis and are the largest group of compounds monitored at European level by the EU Early warning system on new psychoactive substances (EWS). ’Legal high’ products containing synthetic cannabinoids have probably been sold as herbal smoking mixtures since at least 2006. These products do not necessarily contain tobacco or cannabis but when smoked, produce effects similar to those of cannabis. They have been subject to innovative marketing approaches and are widely available on the Internet and in some shops in urban areas (often called ’head’ or ’smart’ shops). |

Abstract |
Europe has a long history of producing and consuming synthetic drugs. The region remains important today for the production of these substances, with manufacture taking place for both domestic consumption and export to other parts of the world. In terms of both production and use, three substances dominate the European market for synthetic drugs: amphetamine (usually the sulphate salt), ecstasy-type drugs, especially methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and methamphetamine (usually the hydrochloride salt). |

Abstract |
The current number of problem opioid users in Europe can be estimated atabout 1.4 million, or 0.41 % of the adult population, with heroin being by far the most widely used opioid. Heroin use has developed along different timelines; several western European countries faced increases from the 1970s onward, whereas countries in Central and Eastern Europe saw a development in heroin use in the 1990s and later. Recent analyses of multiple indicators suggest that Europe may be witnessing a longer-term decline in heroin use, although countries show varying patterns and trends. |
