Much has been written about drugs and drug use this spring. During the Russian meeting in Halden, five Russians were hospitalized with symptoms of poisoning. Russian president at Porsgrunn upper secondary school Mina Andreassen says that she has seen a lot of cocaine during the Russian era. In one place, it is extra easy to spot the illegal substance. – If you are rolling, it is UV light. Then the cocaine lights up in the face, she says. Among other things, UV light causes various objects in a dark room to glow, such as a white garment. The same therefore applies to the characteristic color of cocaine. – One snap and you have it on the door The Russian president says that the drugs are easy to get hold of. – One snap and then you have it on the door, she says. It is also not difficult to bring the illegal substance into Russian meetings with guards, such as the national meeting in Stavanger. – They smuggle it in, tape it to their bodies and get it with them. Andreassen believes there is increased pressure for this year’s drunks to use drugs. Cocaine has become common, she believes. – Cocaine use is the most widespread. She thinks many busboys see cocaine use as attractive because it shows you have money. – It is rich man’s baptism. Large supply of drugs Geir Oustorp heads the police’s preventive unit in Drammen. He says the Russians have access to a lot of drugs. – We hear from the Russians that there is a lot of access and that there are many people who use cocaine in particular.

You can drive it where you want, Oustorp learns. Several studies have been carried out on drug use among young people in Norway in recent years. Faktisk.no has reviewed the results of three of them. The latest figures come from FHI’s report, published in February. Among other things, they show that the use of cocaine among young people has increased slightly. In 2021, just over three percent answered that they had used cocaine, while in 2022 almost five percent answered the same. Oustorp believes that drug use has changed dramatically in recent years. The police notice it when they talk to the young people. – There are several people who have been offered and used drugs. It is a societal development that we must take seriously.
