Heroin is targeting Europe’s most thriving economies
Opioid dependence seems to be a
never ending burden for humanity. People have used opiates for thousands of
years, mostly in ritual purposes, but the modern age showed that for some,
opiates have become the means to escape the daunting reality. What is even more
concerning, different research have concluded that opioid addicts are very
likely to suffer one or more psychiatric commodities. Among the most
‘popular’, but also most addictive and damaging of the opiates out there is heroin. Apparently, what comes as one
of Europe’s greatest problems is not
the financial crisis, but a large raise in drug addiction all throughout the
continent. Annual drug reports show that over 15m Europeans have tried drugs at least once in their lifetime. The
challenge is even bigger, given the estimate that the global number of drug
addicts is certainly going to rise by at least 25% by 2050, according to a
report issued by the United Nations.
