Overall drug use remains lower among women than among men. At the global level, women are three times less likely than men to use cannabis, cocaine or amphetamines, and only one in five people who inject drugs is a woman. By contrast, women are more likely than men to misuse pharmaceutical drugs, in particular pharmaceutical opioids and tranquillizers.
