Does Anybody Have Any Drug Abuse Statistics About Jamaica?
Question by Adam B: Does anybody have any drug abuse statistics about Jamaica?
I am writing up a study for my class about different cultures between my home in the UK and Jamaica, and whilst it has been relatively easy to find information closer to home, I can not find one single statistic for Jamaica that relates to drug ABUSE. I know about the attitudes of Jamaicans towards drugs but I don’t have any official or non official statistics about it
any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

It doesn’t give you an exact stat, as it is described to be “impossible to ever find out,” due to such large drug-usage rate.
You can expect it to be very muh higher.
