Labour's Gambling Act 2005 was a “big mistake”, says
@willprochaska.bsky.social.

How do 15-16-year olds get their alcohol in Finland? (ESPAD) Somebody they know is still most common but decreasing, parents slightly increasing. ’Internet’ and ’Other’ increasing the most. My daughter had had an Estonian ’booze dude’ deliverer’s number on her phone before turning 18 ☹

Where, when & with whom is cannabis used in Finland? Weekends & evenings, often in party settings in private places. Recreational use was often linked to social contexts and alcohol consumption during weekends, medical use more even across times and contexts. Karjalainen et al., w. English summary
