There were 8,657 drug abusers reported in the first half of this year, up 3.6% on the same period last year. The number of drug abusers under 21 rose 22.4% to 2,064, according to the Central Registry of Drug Abuse.



Heroin remained the most common type of drug abused but the number of reported abusers, at 4,643, was 3.8% lower on last year. The total number of psychotropic substance abusers, at 4,734, continued to be higher than heroin abusers.



Ketamine remained the most popular psychotropic substance with 2,858 abusers, up 28.1%. Of them, 61% were aged under 21.



Cocaine abusers rose sharply to 401, up 63.7%, while the number of triazolam, midazolam and zopiclone abusers fell to 798, down 34.1%. There were fewer abusers of ecstasy (-8.6%), cannabis (-4.1%) and nimetazepam (-17.9%).



The three most frequently used localities for drug abuse by youngsters were at home or their friends' home (65.5%); public recreation areas, gardens and toilets (40.7%); and, discos and karaoke bars (32.6%).



Anti-drug action

At the quarterly meeting today Action Committee Against Narcotics members agreed the youth care initiative, Path Builders, is an effective and sustainable way to tackle youth drug abuse and other problems.



Many significant sectors have already pledged support to it to help build a drug-free and caring culture in the community.



Commissioner for Narcotics Sally Wong said government departments will work with various sectors to help youngsters stay away from drugs and make the campaign a success.



Also launched were a second round of television and radio announcements in mid-September, and a short film competition and drama workshop spreading anti-drug messages.

They sure use the word abuser a lot in that article.  Its very convenient how they tell you what to think, eliminating the burden of coming to your own conclusion. 

I wonder how they determine the difference between use and abuse.
