Cocaine consumption in the UK has surged by 26% since 2021, leading to increased related crimes, including domestic violence and road safety issues. Experts attribute this rise to lower prices and high purity levels. In one year, approximately 123 tons of cocaine were consumed, equating to 2.5 billion lines, with an estimated street value of nearly £10 billion. The drug's prevalence has shifted from elite circles to common use in pubs. Notably, drug-related driving offenses have surpassed those for drunk driving for the first time, with cocaine being a leading substance in fatal accidents.
