00:02Consumption of MDMA, also known as ecstasy, is dropping in Europe, while that of ketamine and
00:08cocaine is on the rise. In 2025, residues of MDMA detected in European wastewaters decreased by
00:15almost 16 percent compared to the previous year, according to a new study of the European Union
00:21Drugs Agency, which analyzed wastewater samplings in 115 European cities.
00:27I would say that the sharp drop in MDMA is the biggest surprise we have this year in Europe.
00:34From 15 to 24, we see that the user preferences are going towards different substances,
00:40like ketamine, but also synthetic ketanons, so this might be one of the explanations for the drop we are seeing.
00:48On the opposite, from 2024 to 2025, the load of cocaine metabolites detected in European
00:55wastewaters increased by 22 percent and ketamine by 41 percent.
01:00Regarding cocaine use, we know and we are seeing this steady increase already for the last three or four years.
01:07It also mimics an increase in the availability of cocaine in the European market, but also a bit worldwide,
01:16so we are not so surprised.
01:18The study highlights different drug consumption habits across Europe.
01:23The highest loads of MDMA were found in cities in Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands.
01:28Cannabis, Europe's most commonly used illicit drug, was more found in the Netherlands, Germany and Slovenia.
01:36Amphetamine was more common in Northern Europe, while methamphetamine is more consumed in Czechia, Slovakia and parts of Germany.
01:44So this is the entire crisis number of people involved.
01:44So now it was here another website.
01:44The first step there really told me about the use of course ED is being shown under the Generation.
01:44Red was known as the American Philippines and all the recomendable and all this Together.
01:45We're too mad.
01:45I blame the people on this procedure.
