I don't think that everybody there used drugs. But I have a reason to believe that there were three groups of people who used it:
a) The real drug addicts who had been using drugs long before the protest. These people are very cheap and can do anything for little money or even for a drug dose. I guess there were a lot of them, because they are asocial and don't appreciate life. Ideal people for protests. Therefore, we have to see lots of evidences. And we have it.
b) Those protesters who got some light drugs with food or drinks, just for supporting their spirit in an energetic (or even agressive) state. I don't think these drugs could cause serious consequences. I guess it's something like an intense antidepressant. You feel like an inspired revolutionist, but in fact it's just some meds.
c) Special drugs, only for the armed groups of the protesters. I assume, this type of drugs is something like the preparations for the US special forces. Just for instant effect (no pain etc). I'm not 100% sure, though.
Thanks for letting me know. Those links that SergeMak posted did mention a lot of drug-related issues in the hospital. If you know about any more articles on the drug issue, please post them. Either language is fine. I can read a Russian article as fast as I read an English one.
