Switzerland is in the middle of a cocaine wave.
A report due to be published by the University of Zurich shows that 20% of those aged 24 have used cocaine in the last three months.
Four years earlier it was half that.

He points out the addictive potential of the drug is twice that of cannabis and alcohol.
