"Many Photos" - Middle classes are more likely to have taken Class A drugs, study shows

The middle classes are more likely to have taken class A drugs than their working class counterparts, a study has revealed.

Around one in ten of all adults surveyed admitted they had taken drugs like cocaine and ecstasy - with one in seven of those aged between 18 and 49 admitting the same. 

Nine per cent of those from middle classes revealed they had tried class A drugs, in comparison to eight per cent of those from working classes, a YouGov poll of 1,730 adults showed.

And 20 per cent of all adults asked said they would consider trying class A drugs if they were legalised, the Telegraph reported.

It comes amid concerns that illegal drugs like cocaine and ecstasy are fuelling knife crime by drug gangs in Britain.

Cressida Dick, the Met Police commissioner, recently accused middle class drug users of having 'blood on their hands' over a series of violent crimes.

She said: 'There are a whole group of middle-class people who will sit round happily and think about global warming and fair trade but think there is no harm in taking a bit of cocaine.

'Well, there is. There's misery throughout the supply chain.'

It comes as the Thames Valley Police piloted a scheme where people caught with small amounts of drugs are not arrested but are instead encouraged to seek support.

Those caught are only prosecuted if they fail to engage with treatment and are caught again in possession of illegal substances.
