World Drug report 2009

The World Drug report 2009 has been released here.

Among other things, it says that opium cultivation in Afghanistan, where 93 per cent of the world's opium is produced, decreased by 19 per cent in 2008.

It also says that consumption of synthetic drugs such as ecstasy have leveled off in developed countries but increased in developing countries.
I have personally witnessed the use of synthetic drugs in Dublin, Ireland. I'm not sure if Ireland fits in developed or developing countries though, so not sure how this affects the data presented in the report...
