The most commonly used drugs among the population of clubbers and dance partygoers remain alcohol and tobacco, which the vast majority of the respondents have used. The most popular illegal drug is still marijuana, which has been used at some point in lifetime by 94.9% of the respondents; 77.1% and 54.6% did so in the last 12 months and the last 30 days respectively. Ecstasy is the second most commonly used illicit drug. Lifetime ecstasy use was reported by 70.2% of the respondents and 42.6% and 19.9% had used the drug in the last year and the last month respectively. A comparison to the previous years confirms the growing prevalence of cocaine use. Cocaine has been used at some point in lifetime by almost one half of the sample (47.2%); 28.6% had used it in the last 12 months and one tenth (10.8%) had done so in the last 30 days. Figure 2-5: Lifetime prevalence of use of selected drugs among dance partygoers in 2000, 2003, 2007, and 2010, in % (Kubů et al. 2000; Kubů et al. 2006; Národní monitorovací středisko pro drogy a drogové závislosti, 2008b; Národní monitorovací středisko pro drogy a drogové závislosti, 2011e) Mephedrone, the new synthetic drug that attracts close media attention in the Czech Republic, has been used at some point in lifetime by 3.8% of the respondents. Other new synthetic drugs have been tried by a smaller proportion of the sample: 2.6%, 1.3%, and 3.3% of the respondents reported having experienced piperazines, dextromethorphan, and the Spice herbal mixture containing synthetic cannabinoids. The respondents appear to have by far the most experience with herbal drugs: so-called herbal ecstasy, salvia divinorum, and ephedra have been used at some point by 13.4%, 23.2%, and 8.1% of them respectively. Experience with the purchase of new synthetic drugs was reported by over one third of the sample (36.1%), with the most frequent venues of purchase being Czech music festivals (10.7%) and Czech e-shops (7.8%). Furthermore, the year 2010 saw the continuation of the data collection process as part of the evaluation of the 2010 Safer Party Tour project, following up on a similar initiative carried out in the years 2008 and 2009, which provided preventive and harm reduction services at a total of nine music events; for more information see the chapter on Selective prevention (p. 44). The questionnaire survey among the project’s clients included 49 respondents aged 18–34 years, the average age of the entire sample being 24.2. Males comprised three quarters of the respondents. During the survey, less than one third (32.6%) of the project’s clients were students, while almost half of them were in employment or carrying on a business. At least one experience with any of the drugs under study was reported by the vast majority of clients (89.7%) who completed the questionnaire. Two thirds (65.3%) and 46.9% of the respondents had used at least one of the drugs under study in the last 12 months and the last 30 days, respectively. The prevalence rates of the use of the substances under scrutiny during the specific recall periods are summarised in Table 2-8. It should be pointed out, however, that the data generated by the 2010 Safer Party Tour project are not representative in any respect and, given the small number of questionnaires that were collected, the results are more of an illustrative nature. The relevance of the data is further compromised by the fact that the 2010 Safer Party Tour project was not present at any of the major music festivals in the Czech Republic. page 39
