Résumé : | The key findings presented here are derived mainly from the data collected from face-to-face in-depth interviews with 100 key respondents and 200 drug users living in Kabul city during the period February-March 2003. The lowest estimated numbers of drug users in Kabul as reported by both key informants and drug users were: 23,995 hashish users; 14,298 users of pharmaceutical drugs such as tranquillisers and painkillers; 10,774 opium users; 7,008 heroin users; and 6,568 alcohol users. A major concern is the reporting of drug injecting in Kabul, particularly among heroin users. While women constituted only 4% (n=3) of the heroin users and 9% (n=9) of the hashish users interviewed, they constituted 29% (n=37) of the opium users and 35% (n=28) of pharmaceutical drug users, particularly the benzodiazepine tranquilliser valium. Fifty-three percent of the heroin users were polydrug users. Nearly 50% of heroin users interviewed had first started to use heroin in either Iran or Pakistan. Three quarters of the key informants and nearly 50% of the hashish users reported that hashish was taken for enjoyment. |
