Cocaine still a significant issue on the Island say DASH

Cocaine is still the second most popular drug across Britain and the Isle of Man, with it becoming steadily more affordable.

With legal highs dominating the headlines over the past year and a half reports of cocaine related problems had reduced significantly.

But according to Drugs Advisory Service on the Isle of Man, DASH, cases of cocaine related issues are making a steady return.

Cocaine is still the second most popular drug across Britain and the Isle of Man, with it becoming steadily more affordable.

In a recent British Crime Survey it was revealed that 2.4% of the adult population in the UK have used the substance.

It has a tag of being a party drug but DASH warn that it can lead to depression, psychosis, strokes and heart attacks.

Shelley Stanley from DASH urges anybody currently experiencing problems with the class A substance to contact their free service on 615622 to find out how to go about seeking help.
