Over 80% of the population whole or in part world lacks access to anlagésicos against moderate to severe pain, suffering unnecessarily, while 90% of these legal substances are consumed by 10% of people, mainly U.S., Canada, New Zealand and Europe.

So says the latest annual report World International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), independent UN body with headquarters in Vienna, to consider also on the increase and drug design, whose instructions for its preparation "are easily on the Internet."
on the average consumption of opioids, Spain, with 8,000 DDD statistical purposes (S-DDD, its acronym in English) - engineering units per million population per day, "stood in ninth place in Europe between 2007 and 2009 in a grid of 26 countries led by Germany (19,000 S-DDD), followed by Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland and Holland Gigraltar. Globally, was placed in the eleventh position. From 1997 to 1999 Spain was the number 16 (less than 1,000 S-DDD) in a list led Denmark (4,000 S-DDD).
In many countries in Africa, Asia and parts of America is "little or no" access for therapeutic purposes of narcotics and psychotropic substances, "although there are enough raw materials to meet the medical needs of everyone," the report said. The economic cost is not absolute, he adds, can there prepared very cheap, but what a problem is inadequate training of health, lack of regulation in this respect, distribution difficulties and lack of "health policy comprehensive, covering the treatment of pain.

Its use is higher in the U.S. than in all other countries combined.
PROLIFERATION OF
MEFEDRONA Another recent threat is the increase in drug design or formula manipulated and agility with which they are made to circumvent controls. Created by slightly modifying the molecular structure of controlled substances causing new ones with similar effects to the former. In Europe are monitored 16 new substances of this type and 51 in Japan.
Last December, the EU adopted a total ban. Mefedrona Until then, it was not pursued in 12 EU countries, including Spain, where its use is still a minority. Only in the UK and Ireland mefedrona consumption is directly linked to the death of morethan 35 people.
The mefedrona are available online and retail outlets at retail, as so-called smart shops, and is sometimes billed as bath salt, plant food or chemicals for research to elude detection and avoid prosecution .
regard to cocaine, although the market has contracted in North America (about 40% of the world) continues to rise in Europe, the report said. Cocaine abuse is spreading from western Europe to other parts the continent. In some countries, cocaine may be replacing as amphetamine and ecstasy drug of abuse.
