Cannabis overtook heroin last year as the “most common problem drug” among new cases on treatment programmes.
A report by the Health Research Board, Trends in treated problem drug use in Ireland 2005 to 2010 , shows the number of cases entering drug treatment programmes rose by 52 per cent in the six-year period covered by the report.
In 2010, cannabis overtook heroin as the largest “main problem drug” reported in new cases entering the system.
