While heroin was literally unknown in Bulgaria in the pre-1989 period, nowadays the number of heroin users has grown to 30,000, and those of cannabis users has reached 110,000 out of a population of 8 million.
Dok je u periodu pre 1989 godine heroin u Bugarskoj bukvalno bio nepoznanica, danas je broj heroinskih zavisnika porastao na 30 hiljada, dok je broj uživalaca marihuane dostigao 110 hiljada, od ukupno 8 miliona stanovnika koliko Bugarska ima.
