Between 2013 and 2021, the municipality of Gävle carried out water analyzes on the wastewater and a total of 58 measurements were made.

High levels of amphetamine

The municipality participates in the European SCORE network and can compare drug consumption with 82 cities in 14 European countries.

Last year, four weekly measurements were conducted.

When it comes to amphetamine, Gävle ranks highest among all cities, but when it comes to cannabis, it is the opposite, where Gävle ends up far down the list with low values, according to the report.

- What it depends on, we need to look further at, says Johnny Gustafsson, drug coordinator in Gävle municipality.
