Notes:
Others: Includes different opioids to heroin, different stimulants to cocaine, hypnotic, sedative and hallucinogenic substances, inhalable substances and other psycho-active substances.
Law 23/2010, of July 22, on the creation of the area of Penedès, divides Catalonia into eight territorial planning areas. This change implies that the data for the Metropolitan Area, Central Counties and Camp de Tarragona are not directly comparable with previous years.
