"Eva" tries to slow down her long-standing tablet abuse. The hope is that one day they will be able to stop altogether. And it is the pandemic that has largely caused her to move in that direction.

- I want to avoid the stress and pressure of having to hunt, says "Eva"

Chasing drugs

When the drug market declines as a result of corona, many people chase drugs.

- It is noticed that the supply has decreased radically. There are more people who are sick and it is more difficult to get hold of drugs.

Karina Stein, Area Manager at Beroendecentrum in Malmö recognizes the image that "Eva" paints.

- If you do not get your drugs, many will get abstinence. Narcotic drugs are not available in Malmö. It has been for quite a long time. Before the corona, it was Operation Frozen. The drugs that can be obtained are also very expensive.

Can produce positive effects

Karina Stein thinks it can cause problems for some addicts but be positive for others.

- For some people, this can be good because you can abstain. But it can also mean that you are prepared to take that price. Then there are great risks. They may mix drugs or find different crimes to finance more expensive drugs.
