Euro Weekly News Youths into ecstasy, again Costa del Sol News The Largest English Language Newspapers in Spain: "Two years ago it appeared as if the youth’s thirst for party drugs was fading, when in 2008 records showed a significant fall in the use of ecstasy (MDMA). But those in the know have just released figures that show that the presence of the drug has re-emerged with force.
The brief drop in ecstasy use over the last two years was down to a lack of supply, as well as the fact that excessive mixing was tampering with the quality and purity of the drug, according to Claude Vidal, a psychologist at Energy Control – a independent group of professionals concerned about youth drug use, who also provide information to reduce the risks of consumption.
“Both in quantity and quality the presence of ecstasy has returned to 2008 levels,' said Vidal.
“The tablets cost between Euros 5 and 7 a gram and they have always been linked with clubs and raves and mostly very young people.'
Energy Control has also pointed to the return speed and amphetamine sulphate in a recent report, as well as ketamine, which they say has “burst onto the Andalucia drug scene”.
As for cocaine, experts warn that more and more adulterated cocaine is on the black market, making it especially dangerous.
In fact, the Police and Civil Guard in Málaga, are currently investigating whether it was adulterated cocaine that is responsible for the deaths of seven people in Malaga.
Vidal stressed that cocaine is no longer a drug for an elite. 'It is now available to all, although it is true that consumption in some sectors has slowed due to the economic crisis.'"
