Artist Daniel Britton has created a series of infographics detailing drug use in the UK. For example, he's visualised the most lethal drugs, the average deaths they cause each year and also which are most popular.

Britton says: "It's so nice to visually shake off the stigma that has so wrongly been applied to the dance music scene for so long."
