"Drug consumption in Hungary has not increased since 2007, a volume of essays entitled Report on the Hungarian Drug Scene 2008 reveals.While the proportion of people using some kind of drug had continued to rise from 2001-03, this trend stopped from 2003-07. The percentage of 18 to 34-year-olds who had tried some kind of drug was 15% in 2001, and this figure had climbed to 20% by 2003, but did not rise any further after 2007.
Researchers say marijuana is still the most fashionable drug, although in recent years fewer 18 to 34-year-olds have tried it than earlier."
