A research commissioned by the university student’s council KSU has revealed that around two-thirds of youth have tried smoking cannabis at some point in their life, with the majority still using the substance. MISCO International carried out the study and focused on drug use and regulation in Malta. Forming part of the awareness campaign called ‘Beyond the Influence’, the research was carried out in January and February.
67% of the 976 participants, with ages varying from 16 and 34, revealed that they have used drugs for recreational purposes, with 60% still using substances. A third of those who tried it were women, with a majority stating that they used it at the age of 17 to 19. Cannabis was mostly sought after as around 98%, with hallucinogens following at 46% and stimulants at 38%.
