The Cost of Cocaine & Incidence of Use


(source: "The cost of coke," The Economist Daily Chart. June 23, 2011)

I wonder why the usage varies quite a bit between countries. Why do 2.6% of the population (16-64 yrs old) use it in Spain but only 0.6% in France? Is there another drug that is a substitute or is there something more to it?
