Abstract:
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) released its annual World Drug Report on June 26, 2024. The report summarizes a somber but eminently foreseeable conclusion: drug use, its production, and the associated violence and environmental harm are on the rise. Worldwide, drug use in 2024 has reached a record of 292 million users — amounting to a 20% increase over ten years.
