The Federal Drug Commissioner has released new data showing that drug-related deaths in Germany remain high. Notably, the average age of the people who died has decreased.

聯邦藥物專員公布了新數據，顯示德國的藥物致死人數依然很高。值得注意的是，死者的平均年齡有所下降。

According to data from the Federal Criminal Police Office, there were 2,150 drug-related deaths in 2025. There is a clear shift in demographics, as the number of deaths among people under 30 has risen by 53% since 2021. Furthermore, deaths among those under 20 have almost doubled. Federal Drug Commissioner Hendrik Streeck emphasized that this trend is caused by a mix of psychological stress, curiosity, and a lack of awareness regarding the risks among young people.

根據聯邦刑事警察局的數據，2025年共有 2,150 宗藥物致死個案。人口分佈有明顯轉變，自2021年起，30歲以下的人數死者上升了53%。此外，20歲以下的人數死者幾乎翻倍。聯邦藥物專員 Hendrik Streeck 強調，這一趨勢是由心理壓力、好奇心以及年輕人對風險缺乏意識共同造成的。

Chemical tests show that most victims used several different drugs at once, with 81.5% of deaths involving multiple substances. Deaths related to cocaine and crack have increased by 110.7% since 2021, while deaths from prescription medications rose from 365 to 769 in the same period. Additionally, fentanyl-related deaths grew by 20% last year. Streeck asserted that laboratory-made opioids are replacing Afghan opium because the Taliban has banned opium production.

化學檢測顯示，大多數受害者一次使用了數種不同的藥物，81.5% 的死亡個案涉及多種物質。自2021年起，與古柯鹼和裂解古柯鹼（crack）相關的死亡人數增加了110.7%，而處方藥物致死人數在同一時期從365人增加到769人。此外，芬太尼相關死亡人數在去年增長了20%。Streeck 斷言，由於塔利班禁止生產鴉片，實驗室製造的鴉片類藥物正取代阿富汗鴉片。

Drug distribution has moved toward digital and secret methods. In Berlin, authorities found that dealers are leaving free samples in mailboxes and using QR codes or encrypted apps like WhatsApp and Telegram to sell drugs. Consequently, the government has proposed a new monitoring system and more prevention services for youth. However, clinics like Patrida in Berlin are struggling to help patients because there are not enough medical staff, as many specialists from the 1990s have retired. Meanwhile, Germany and France are working together on research to find replacement treatments for cocaine and crack addiction.

藥物分銷已轉向數位化和秘密手段。在柏林，當局發現藥販會在郵筒中留下免費樣本，並利用 QR code 或 WhatsApp 和 Telegram 等加密應用程式銷售藥物。因此，政府提議建立新的監控系統，並為青少年提供更多預防服務。然而，像柏林 Patrida 這樣的診所難以幫助患者，因為醫療人員不足，許多1990年代的專科醫生已經退休。與此同時，德國和法國正合作研究尋找替代古柯鹼和裂解古柯鹼成癮的治療方法。

Germany is facing a serious public health crisis due to the rise of synthetic drugs and a lack of funding and medical staff to treat addiction.

由於合成藥物增加，加上缺乏治療成癮的資金和醫療人員，德國正面對嚴重的公共衛生危機。
