A survey of 200 countries was conducted by the UN, which revealed that Scotland has the worst drug abuse rates in the world. The country is getting awful in per-head use of heroin, ecstasy and cocaine, which is the highest there than in any other country across the world.

Also, it was recorded that 4% of Scotland’s population is consuming the class A drug cocaine regularly, which is the highest found anywhere around the globe. These are some really shocking figures for the country.

Scotland is high by three times above the world’s average, with 1.5% Scot adults injecting or smoking opiates. This fatal and serious issue has been now thrown over the heads of Government who have been blamed by the narcotics experts for not administrating lucid policies over this grave issue.

Also, it has been said that the Scottish Government has failed constantly over handling the misuse of these drugs. This situation is further deteriorating a prosperous business in the country. Professor Graeme Pearson, former head of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, said that it will affect the country’s ability to draw the entrepreneurs.

He added, “If you have millions of pounds to invest do you choose an area with a drug problem and take a risk in terms of whether the workforce is going to deliver, or do you set up somewhere where drug abuse is falling? The answer is obvious”.
