Most common stimulant drug after caffeine

And Tobacco. Greece smokes like a chimney. Pretty sure Turkey isn't far behind.

Sugar highs are not actually supported by science.

Although, at some point you get into murky territory about what defines a drug, that's true. Relevant XKCD. I'd say in this case the social understanding that achieving a change to state of mind is the primary goal of a practice is enough.

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh, I didn't know that about sugar highs, TIL, thanks!

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 days ago

No problem!

It says "most frequent stimulant seized", I doubt much caffeine is being confiscated!

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Well, technically it is for customs purpouses

[–] Schorsch@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Where would caffeine be seized?

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You'd think Netherlands of all places would have data. Did the authorities just give up or what?

[–] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The cops were too stoned to care...

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago

Cannabis use prevalence is actually kind of low in the Netherlands, many european countries where it's illegal have higher prevalences. Turns out, legalizing cannabis doesn't turn everyone into a stoner.

Ya know, I remember watching Breaking Bad and thinking it was odd that the international contact was in Czech Republic.

[–] remon@ani.social 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Ok, I might be nitpicking here. But why do the Netherlands get "No data" while a bunch of other counties are just left blank?

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Netherlands: No data

Switzerland: Especially no data, mind your own damn business

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It must be on purpose right. Only thing i can think of is that there were enough studies done (opposed to in Belarus for example), but they contradicted each other.

The EMCDDA is an authority from the european commission, thus has gathered data from the EU (2014 including the UK) and the affiliated countries Norway and Turkey.

That seemingly is not Europe, but in fact is the EU.

What’s the difference between amphetamine and methamphetamine, in terms of street drugs and their effects?

[–] bali10050@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

They spawn different types of creatures. Like with speed, you get runners, with meth you get clickers

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

On the risk profile of the drug, Turkey and Romania win.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

MDMA is actually probably the most harmful of that list if it's being abused, but I understand your point. It's just so damn neurotoxic

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

All drugs should be legal and regulated

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

Why can I only read the word "methamphetamine" in Trevor Philips's voice?

[–] Ebber@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago

Luxembourg is green. Am i seeing that right?

[–] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

More land locked, less cocaine.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I mean it does get shipped by sea

[–] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yes exactly my point.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

I'll do cocaine with ya.
