Crack use up in England after 'aggressive marketing'

The findings back up figures which suggest the upward trend began to develop after a surge in the global production of cocaine in 2013.

Some users reported crack was being made available in smaller quantities, with one referring to"pocket money prices", such as £5 per rock.Treatment workers said crack was"beginning to become more acceptable, even fashionable among groups who would not previously have taken it".The report added:"In one area with a large university student population, there was a view that dealers were successfully infiltrating these groups.

In three of the areas of the study, there was evidence of"out of town" dealers from gangs in London, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham infiltrating local markets. But some officers told researchers their forces no longer had dedicated drugs squads or said a"lack of capacity made it difficult to prioritise drug-dealing".

Should never have been allowed to advertise on the telly. Terrible.

Don't fancy crack but ecstacy and lsd would be good

Business is booming for tbramble19

All caused by the EU

9 out of 10 crack heads said they prefer it.

Crack- The Real Thing

The drug laws are beyond contempt in this country.its not illegal to sell cannabis seeds and set web sites up to let the public know what yield is expected from growing them..because its not illegal to sell seeds..so lets just sell poppy seeds n we can grow our own heroin

Isn't that crystal meth? A friend just asked. As you were.

it's not the marketing ie TEXTs and or word of mouth - get public health to process who in their people list are under mental health and what for beyond an addiction and or dependency - and wht led them to being in that buckled paper chasing system before 'a drug appeared'

I always ignore the adverts for crack cocaine at bus stops.

Then they’ll need this....😂

How does one legally advertise crack

the cbi better get that marketing for brexit!

Open borders...no checks

SadiqKhan you got to do something about the adverts on the tube TfL

I’m obviously the wrong demographic as I haven’t seen any adverts.

Dope Sick. Beth Macy. Urgent read.

I blame Brexit.

What, on ITV?

That looks more like crystal meth than crack

See it all the time on offer in my local Asda buy one get one free. These offers are very misleading when I go in for pizza.

It probably has something to do with Brexit douchebags thinking voting to leave actually meant voting to kick out all non-whites, and now they are finding out that shit isn't happening. They should totally smoke on up, their brains are f*cked, anyway. Crack ain't gonna hurt 'em.

Thats not crack,thats quartz.

The rise of crack and the rise of Brexit seem to go hand in hand... coincidence

Is Brexit

lol....you media muppets make me giggle.

I'm pretty sure most tory mps are on it. Explains a lot.

They need to ban advertising near schools and pre-watershed

explains Brexit

If only it were colored blue
