Figures from a new international study suggest about 356 kilograms of cocaine are used every day in Europe. But the stimulant is more popular in central and western Europe than in the east or the north.
Swiss cities are among the places where consumption is highest. In cities like Zurich, Geneva and Bern, an average of 1.5 grams are consumed daily per 1000 people - the same as in cities like Antwerp and Amsterdam.
During techno festivals like Zurich\'s Street Parade each August, it is thought that people can take up to five or six times this amount.
\"Zurich, Geneva and St. Moritz have always ranked highly in cocaine statistics. But it\'s only a phenomenon in the cities, especially in the club and nightlife scene - not in the whole country,\" says Tibor Rasovszky, a senior physician at Arud, a centre for addiction medicine in Zurich.
What started with 1,000 people in 1992 fires the enthusiasm of hundreds of thousands of dance aficionados from throughout the world today. The Street Parade sparks an incredible party mood atmosphere with 30 love mobiles (abbreviated as LoMos), hundreds of DJs and seven stages around the Lake Zurich basin. Since its beginnings in the 90s, diverse electronic music styles, e.g., House, Drum\'n\'Bass and Dubstep, have also set foot on the scene in addition to Trance and Techno. In the same way as the Street Parade, the Lethargy event has transformed from an underground party into one of Zurich’s highlights in summer.
