The use of drugs – legal and illegal – has a huge impact on the world. Is all of this impact negative? What do we really understand about how we use them? Does society consider alcohol a drug?
The Global Drugs Survey 2015 is a huge project carried out by an independent research organisation to try and gather real-time data on how people all over the globe use drugs.
The first such survey was carried out in clubbers’ magazine MixMag 15 years ago to help build a picture of how recreational drugs were being used on the scene – and what problems (if any) clubbers were having with them.
It has now expanded to include international news organisations and findings from last year’s survey were revealed in outlets like The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald and other major news publications.
This year, Ireland has been included in the survey and TheJournal.ie – along with Spin1038 and HotPress magazine – are media partners, giving you a chance to participate in the largest independent drug use survey in the world.
