“To estimate the number of young recreational and older regular users [of Class A drugs], some division had to be made from these surveys of problematic and non-problematic use. It was assumed therefore that all opiate use and crack use reported in such surveys is problematic; this assumption may be revised in time if better evidence and monitoring data become available. All ecstasy, LSD and magic mushroom use is assumed not to be problematic.” From Godfrey et al.; see endnote.
