SAMMENDRAG
Statens rettstoksikologiske institutt har i løpet av de siste år registrert en stor økning av prøver fra bilførere
mistenkt for kjøring under påvirkning av andre rusmidler enn alkohol. Antall positive saker økte 42% fra
1994 til 1995. De hyppigste påviste stoffer er tetrahydrocannabinol, amfetamin, benzodiazepiner og opiater
(morfin/kodein). Bruk av tyngre narkotiske stoffer har blitt mer vanlig i trafikksammenheng og antall positive
tilfeller har økt betydelig mer enn totalt antall saker. Fra 1994 til 1995 økte antall positive amfetaminprøver
med 75% (fra 533 til 937) og antall positive prøver som følge av heroininntak økte med 87% (fra 92 til 172).
Bruk av flere stoffer samtidig er vanlig, over 60 % av sakene i 1995 var positive på mer enn ett stoff, alkohol
ikke medregnet. De fleste tilfeller var representert av menn i alderen 25-32 år (37%). Kvinner var representert
i ca. 11% av sakene.

ENGLISH SUMMARY
The National Institute of Forensic Toxicology has registered a large increase in the number of samples from
drivers suspected to drive under influence of drugs other than alcohol. The number of drug positive cases
increased 42% from 1994 to 1995. The most frequent drugs detected are tetrahydrocannabinol, amphetamine,
benzodiazepines and opiates (morphine/codeine). The frequency of hard narcotic drug use has increased more
than the total number of cases. From 1994 to 1995, the number of amphetamine positive samples increased
75% (from 533 to 937) and the number of samples positive due to heroin use (detection of the metabolite 6-
monoacetylmorphine in urine) increased 87%. Multi-drug use is common and more than one drug was
detected in more than 60% of the cases from 1995, alcohol not included. Most of the cases were represented
by men 25-32 years old (37%). Women were represented in about 11% of the cases.
