Almost 1 in 3 users of sleeping pills and tranquilizers and almost half of the users of ADHD medicines do not (only) take these drugs on a doctor's prescription. In 2018, the number of reported dumping sites for chemical waste increased further. At the Public Prosecution Service, the number of cases related to hard drugs was for the first time greater than the number of soft drug related cases.
