The following chapter first draws together information on the global drug problem in its three main sectoral dimensions – production, trafficking and consumption, including prevalence, drug-related treatment, drugrelated infectious diseases and drug deaths. This is followed by a regional overview. More detailed information on specific drug markets (opiates, cocaine, cannabis and amphetamine-type stimulants) can be found in subsequent chapters.
