Switzerland is in the middle of a cocaine wave.
A report due to be published by the University of Zurich shows that 20% of those aged 24 have used cocaine in the last three months.
Four years earlier it was half that.
Boris Quednow, a professor at the university, says that an ‘invisible wave’ is hitting us and we’ll have a major problem with addiction in the next 10 years.
He points out the addictive potential of the drug is twice that of cannabis and alcohol.
