Dr Tony Comas is a paramedic in the clubbers' paradise of Ibiza. He has worked there for five years now and originally comes from Palma, Majorca.

He told the BBC's Drugland programme why he was still amazed by what he witnesses every day on the "white island"

I was shocked when I first arrived in Ibiza, it was incredible. So many people taking drugs.

During the summer time I treat two or three people each night for drug abuse. I think it's one of the highest figures in Spain.

First thing in the morning you can have drug related accidents.

Then at noon they usually have the drowning or people who are nearly drowning, and then at half past seven it's all car accidents and then you start again.

For me it's frustrating to have such a large amount of patients relating to the consumption of drugs.

If you are busy with drug related patients you can't at the same time be in another place where a person has had a heart attack or a car accident.

The clubs are not happy if we go into the discos, they don't want people in the discos seeing that we are treating the patient.

They leave them at the back gate. What they sell is fun and the good side of life. But they don't want to see the other side effects of the drugs.

I don't think the drug problem is the Guardia Civil's or the police's fault, they do as much as they can. But you have to go to the root of the problem, not the side effects.

Different product

You say people take drugs because there are drug dealers. It's the opposite of that. The drug dealers are here because people are asking for drugs.

The Spanish police in general need more help from the people who own the clubs and the people within the tourism business in general.

It's very hard to change that because what sells Ibiza as a popular destination is all related to the club culture.

If you're working in the disco you see all that dealing and buying, all this business.

The clubs know tourism is a big market and they are making a profit from that. They don't want to change.

The way to stop the drug dealers and the drug abuse on this island is to sell a different product, and not to be so centred on the disco industry.

(The politicians) are always in the papers and they want to change the image of the island and they are going to sell a different product,

But at the end of the day nothing changes and since I arrived here I have seen no changes in this.

That's the problem. There are too many people making money from the drugs.
