Cocaine Crisis Hits Middle Ireland

Cocaine Crisis Hits Middle Ireland

Published 3 days, 7 hours ago
Description

Ireland’s drug crisis is hitting middle-class families and professionals hard, with cocaine now the top drug of choice—driven by pandemic-era social anxiety and evolving use patterns. Addiction isn’t just trauma-related; many are using substances for social lubrication, which spirals into dependency. Higher purity cocaine raises overdose risks, while services like the Ana Liffey Drug Project support over 4,600 people annually, 73% battling addiction. The LGBTQ+ community is also increasingly seeking help, with chemsex and black-market hormone use creating new, urgent needs for clean needles and treatment.
