The report goes on to say:

One in ten young people thought it was cool to take drugs and more than 80 per cent thought it was easy to get drugs on the street, the report said.

National data suggests that while young people are increasingly offered, or know where to go for illegal drugs, the numbers taking drugs are stable or falling slightly.
