You think the rate of the general population who've tried cocaine is higher than in the AFL?

Do you think it is out of control in the AFL ?
Who cares what it is . I have never taken anything ever but watching your older brother crash and burn on everything through to heroin will do that. I can say that I saw pretty much all my mates and people who where out and about on a Saturday night using something at various stages. There will always be some AFL players doing something. Like I said you do not have to be smart to play AFL footy.

General population is 1-2% regular use isn't it? I'd be staggered if it wasn't 10%-15% in the AFL.

According to the 2019 National Drug Strategy Household Survey, 16.4% of Australians had used an illicit drug in the last 12 months

Illicit drug use

How common is illicit drug use?​

According to the 2019 National Drug Strategy Household Survey (NDSHS), an estimated 9.0 million (43%) people aged 14 and over in Australia had illicitly used a drug at some point in their lifetime (including the non-medical use of pharmaceuticals), and an estimated 3.4 million (16.4%) had used an illicit drug in the previous 12 months. This was similar to proportions in 2016 (43% and 15.6%, respectively) but has increased since 2007 (38% and 13.4%, respectively) (Figure 1).

In 2019, the most common illicit drug used in the previous 12 months was cannabis (11.6%), followed by cocaine (4.2%) and ecstasy (3.0%) (Figure 1). A number of changes were reported in the recent use of illicit drugs between 2016 and 2019, including increases in the use of:

• cannabis (from 10.4% to 11.6%)
• cocaine (from 2.5% to 4.2%)
• ecstasy (from 2.2% to 3.0%)
• hallucinogens (from 1.0% to 1.6%)
• inhalants (from 1.0% to 1.4%)
• ketamine (from 0.4% to 0.9%) (Figure 1) (AIHW 2020).

Overall, in 2019, an estimated 900,000 people (4.2%) aged 14 and over used a pharmaceutical drug for non-medical purposes in the previous 12 months, a decline from 4.8% (an estimated one million people) in 2016 (AIHW 2020). Between 2016 and 2019, the proportion of people using ‘pain-killers and opioids’ for non-medical purposes declined from 3.6% to 2.7%. This decline is most likely due to a reclassification of medications containing codeine that was implemented in 2018. Under the change, drugs with codeine (including some painkillers) can no longer be bought from a pharmacy without a prescription. The proportion of people using codeine for non-medical purposes has halved since 2016, from 3.0% to 1.5% in 2019.

In 2016, pain-killers and opioids used for non-medical purposes were the second most commonly used illicit drug in the previous 12 months after cannabis, but in 2019, they were fourth, after cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy (AIHW 2020).

Due to the changes in the recent use of a number of illicit drugs between 2016 and 2019, meth/amphetamines are no longer in the top 5 illicit drugs most likely to be used in the previous 12 months. Meth/amphetamine use has been declining since it peaked at 3.4% in 2001 and stabilised in 2019 (1.4% in 2016 and 1.3% in 2019).

To better understand illicit drug use in Australia, it is important to consider the frequency of drug use and not just the proportion of people who have used a drug in the previous 12 months. Some drugs are used more often than others, and the health risks of illicit drug use increase with the frequency, type, and quantity of drugs used (Degenhardt et al. 2013). While cocaine and ecstasy were used by more people in the previous 12 months, most people used these drugs infrequently with 57% of people who used cocaine and 51% of people who used ecstasy reporting they only used the drug once or twice a year in the 2019 NDSHS. Conversely, monthly or more frequent drug use was more commonly reported among people who had used cannabis (50%) or meth/amphetamines (33%).

how the **** is 0.9% of the population dumb enough to try ketamine?

well k-holes, by all reports, rock

Do you think it is out of control in the AFL ?

Like I said you do not have to be smart to play AFL footy.

I don’t think it’s out of control, I do think more players would use cocaine than the average population.

Young people with a lot of spare time, high levels of disposable income and where drinking alcohol isn’t really compatible with staying lean.

Back to talking about the idiot who practices ducking and shrugging and got booed off while injured and has apparently already chalked up two off-field scandals two seasons into his AFL career.

For a kid taken in the rookie draft two years ago, he’s gotten too big for his boots pretty fast.

Anyone know if this might be a major reason he was taken as a rookie?

Could easily be overtaken if not careful. Regardless of all his attention grabbing headlines, his lack of defensive pressure might just be his downfall.

18-30 category a lot would’ve dabbled. Go to any festival and bar club on a weekend and a high percentage of people with a social drinking lifestyle and it’s around. In the off season I’d say around maybe 30-40% of players would have taken something.
