Cocaine Use Soaring With Older People

Across the pond, officials are seeing a huge spike of older people taking cocaine, including those in their 90s.

The National Health Service says that many of them are now showing up at hospitals suffering from issues brought on by its use.

According to the UK Metro , those aged 50 and above treated for cocaine-related mental health disorders rose by 800 percent in the last decade. But also in the report was a line about ten people between 90 and 99 admitted just last year after taking the drug.

Experts believe cheaper prices plus better quality has lead to the surge in usage.
