"The prevalence of this lifestyle underscores the urgent need for targeted prevention and treatment programs tailored to specific age groups, as well as education and awareness campaigns," the chairman stated in a report published by Cyprus Mail.
The chairman also highlighted findings from the National Anti-Drug Council’s 2023 report and wastewater analyses from 2021, which indicate that drug usage in Paphos has reached concerning levels.
Cannabis continues to be the most commonly used substance in Cyprus. However, analyses of wastewater have also detected methamphetamine, cocaine, amphetamines, and other stimulants.
