“The Economist”: Why Albania Is First in the World for Using Coca

18 million people worldwide are cocaine users. So says the latest report published in the latest report of the “The Economist” entitled: “Why the cartels are winning”, which warns that the war on drugs is leading to a new crisis.

Britain, Spain, Australia and the United States consume cocaine at most. But the largest percentage keeps Albania and 2.5% of the population consuming drugs, thereby keeping the first place, reports the Economist”.

This because Albania is a transit country for Afghan cocaine”, argues this prestigious media.

Full of $2,200 costs a pound of cocaine in the Colombia jungle, but Mexico can total $12,000 to $16,000. But in Europe the same pound is between $53 and $55,000. /panpsy/
