Teen coke use at all-time high

COCAINE is now being used by more teenagers than ever before and booze remains a major problem, a new report has found.

The study by the Health Research Board shows youths from the age of 15 are taking drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy, and cannabis and a soaring percentage of them are ending up in hospital.

The report claims there has been a 170% increase in the number of young people who were treated for cocaine use between 2011 and 2019 and that the 15 to 24 age group is problematic.
