According to an article in the Star-Tribune last week:

A new study has found the air in Madrid and Barcelona is laced with at least five drugs — most prominently cocaine.

The other four, by the way, were amphetamines, opiates, cannabinoids and lysergic acid _a relative of LSD. Of course they reported no reason for concern.

No, wait a minute, close the blinds. Is that the police? Someone coming to get me?

Maybe the next report will show an increase in reported and diagnosed cases of paranoia.

Then you worry.

At the same time there was also a report about Portugal:

Decriminalizing drug possession and providing users with treatment rather than jail time helped cut teen drug use and the number of people seeking treatment doubled in Portugal, according to a new study from the libertarian Cato Institute.

It would appear that you won't need a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing on the Iberian Peninsula.
