Global Drug Survey

The Global Drug Survey (GDS) is an independent research organization that conducts the world’s largest annual survey on drug use. It collects anonymous data from tens of thousands of people around the globe to better understand how and why people use drugs—both legal and illegal—and how that use affects their lives.
