Sofia police have found that drug dealers are increasingly recruiting students who sell drugs inside the schools and there are almost no dealers around the buildings.

The most widely sold drugs in Sofia schools are amphetamines and marijuana. Often these drugs are offered under other names in order to attract interest.
