Summary/Abstract: Drug use and New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) use are a sensitive issue due to the consequences that those who admit having this habit may expect to suffer. Part of the scientific community recommends that quantitative descriptions on this topic be verified or possibly supplemented by data obtained from research activities that use more reliable data and methods. In Romania, the prevalence estimation of drug and NPS use is performed by the National Anti – Drug Agency by conducting two studies, one every three years and another conducted every four years, respectively. In order to analyze the accuracy of the results presented in the reports prepared by the National Anti – Drug Agency, in this article we compared these results with those resulted from the analysis of the indictments issued by the Directorate for Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism – Oradea Territorial Service in 2013 – 2019. As a result of this comparison, it was found that there are certain significant differences between the information contained in the two data.
