Illegal drugs: the 2009 observations of the TREND system
The 11th year for the TREND system (Emerging Trends and New Dugs) helped analyse new trends and the most striking phenomena in drug use throughout France.
The national TREND system was implemented by the OFDT in June 1999 to identify and describe changes in trends and phenomena related to illegal or misused substances. This issue of Tendances provides a summary of the main results for 2009 - the year that marks the eleventh consecutive observation year for the TREND network.
Three striking phenomena were observed in 2009. Two of these phenomena pertained to party scene use, with the disturbance in the synthetic drug market following the MDMA shortage and the development of ketamine use outside of its "standard" use. The third phenomenon is related to the urban setting and the geographical expansion of crack use.
