Dataset is not available.
This table contains data on life style of the Dutch population in private households. These data can be grouped by several personal characteristics.
Data available from: 2014.
Status of the data: final.
Changes by March 14, 2024:
Data about 2023 have been added.
Figures about laughing gas have been added. The questions about nutrition have changed in 2023.
That is why a new series for nutrition will be started in 2023 and the old series of figures on nutrition (2014-2022) will no longer be added.
When will new data be published?
Data on reporting year 2024 will be published in the second quarter of 2025
Description topics
- Drugs use, 12 years or older
- The questions about drug use are asked to all persons aged 12 or older. The following types of drugs are asked whether they have ever been used and, if so, when was the last time:
• Cannabis (hash, weed, marijuana)
• Amphetamine (such as pep and speed)
• Ecstasy (ecstasy, MDMA)
• LSD
• Magic mushrooms (hallucinogenic mushrooms)
• Cocaine (also crack, boiled coke, freebase)
• Heroine (horse, smack or brown)
• GHB
• Methadone
• From 2018: 4-Fluoroamphetamine, also called 4-FA, 4-FMP or Flux
• Other drugs
From 2023, the questions about methadone and 4-FA have been removed and replaced by questions about ketamine and 3MMC. People are also asked about the use of laughing gas. Figures for this are included in this table from reporting year 2023.
The answer categories for each type of drug are:
• Yes, in the last 30 days
• Yes, in the last 12 months, but not in the last 30 days
• Yes, more than 12 months ago
• No, never used- Use of cannabis
- Based on the question about the use of cannabis (hashish, weed, marijuana)
- Last month
- Last year
- Ever
- Drugs excluding cannabis, laughing gas
- Drug use other than cannabis and laughing gas
Based on the questions about the use of:
• Amphetamine (such as pep and speed)
• Ecstasy (ecstasy, MDMA)
• Cocaine (also crack, boiled coke, freebase)
• LSD
• Mushrooms (hallucinogenic mushrooms or magic mushrooms)
• Heroine (horse, smack or brown)
• GHB
• Methadone
• From 2018: 4-Fluoroamphetamine, also called 4-FA, 4-FMP or Flux. From 2023, the questions about methadone and 4-FA have been removed and replaced by questions about ketamine and 3MMC.
• Other drugs
It involves the use of 1 or more of these types of drugs. When using several of these types of drugs, the most recently used type of drug is seen as determining the distribution across the categories 'last month', 'last year' and 'ever'.- Last month
- Last year
- Ever
