Cocaine use increasing among women
To combat stress, anxiety and even the women take refuge more and more often in cocaine. This revealed the figure during the conference “The other side of coca” held at the Catholic University of Milan. It is the psychologist who said Gabriella Gilli, professor of psychology of art and personality psychology at the University of Milan. The consumption of coca is growing among younger students and among career women who are taking on a drug to deal with occasional stress, fatigue, anxiety, but also fears and insecurities of the commitments of work and study. Besides providing an illusory solution, warns the professor from Milan, taking occasional cocaine exposes the risk of developing a true dependence from which it is then difficult to get out.
The figure is in addition to those, already quite alarming to see the dramatic increase in cocaine use in our country: the consumers of cocaine rose from 700 thousand in 2005 to 850 thousand in 2007 while decreasing the age of new addicts. Consumption is also a habitual or less of cocaine, a phenomenon that becomes more and more interested in a cross-population, unlike in the past that regardless of income and of social origin. Whereas once the cocaine was in fact considered “rich stuff”, mostly diffuse, so it was believed, in the world of entertainment and fashion, is now no longer so in part because of its cost still lower. Estimates of concern for the future then come from the Department of ASL addiction in Milan in 2010, according to which the consumption of coca could increase up to 40%. For the time being about one million Italians between 15 and 64 will come to make use of white powder. In the meantime, we hope that institutions take really effective measures to stem the increasing consumption of all drugs, both old and new.
