The consumption of illegal drugs has peaked across the Republic and is now in decline among most age groups for most drug types, a new nationwide study has found.
The number of 25 to 34-year-olds who reported using cocaine in the past year was 2.5 per cent, one third lower than consumption levels when the National Advisory Committee on Drugs research was last carried out four years ago.
A new trend emerging from the research is the popularity of psychoactive substances; products that were sold as legal highs by headshops before they were banned.
