Recently, drug use has become a major social problem in Japan. Therefore, this study examined recent trends of drug use in detail. Specifically, this report researched the number of people arrested for drug-related offenses in the 8 years since 2001 and it discusses measures to prevent drug use.

During the period studied, the proportion of drug-related offenses related to ¡®stimulants?has decreased, despite those drugs accounting for the highest proportion of such offenses, and the proportion?of offenses related to ¡®cannabis?has increased markedly. Therefore, organizations implementing measures to prevent drug-related offenses should be aware of the recent increase in the number of people arrested for ¡®cannabis?and the high proportion of arrests for ¡®stimulants?
