Konsum um 216 Prozent gestiegen: In Irland herrscht Kokainrausch, bestellt wird über WhatsApp 28.03.2026

In Irland hat sich Kokain zur Hauptdroge entwickelt, wobei die Zahl der Behandlungsfälle zwischen 2017 und 2024 um 252,6 Prozent gestiegen ist. Der Konsum von Kokainpulver nahm um 216 Prozent zu, während Crack-Konsum um extreme 668,2 Prozent anstieg, was zu sinkenden Preisen führt. Der Kauf ist durch professionell gestaltete Online-Menüs über Apps wie WhatsApp vereinfacht worden. Die irische Polizei hat bedeutende Mengen beschlagnahmt, darunter 2.253 Kilogramm im Wert von 157 Millionen Euro im September 2023. Irland rangierte 2019 weltweit an vierter Stelle beim Kokainkonsum. Die Krise wird auch durch EU-Fischereiregelungen verschärft, die irische Fischer zu Schmuggelaktivitäten drängen.
