Some 200 million people — or 5% of the world's population
aged 15 to 64 — use illicit drugs, according to UNODC's
2005 World Drug Report (www.unodc.org ). Opiates
remain the most serious problem drug worldwide in terms of the
impact of drugs on health, followed by amphetamine-type stimulants
and cocaine, as measured by demand for treatment services.
