In this paper we propose a stochastic mathematical model with distributed delay in order to describe the transmission dynamics of cocaine consumption in Spain. We investigate conditions to guarantee the stability in probability of the equilibrium points under stochastic perturbations via the white noise processes. The results are applied to the model cocaine consumption using data retrieved from the Spanish Drug National Plan, http://www.pnsd.mscbs.gob.es/. The obtained results may be useful for policy health authorities in order to improve the strategies against the drug consumption in the long-run.

Simulations of 500 trajectories of the approximated solution stochastic process modelling the dynamics of cocaine consumption in Spain according to stochastic system with delay (11). Those approximations have been constructed using the numerical scheme (16) taking $\Delta t = 1$ month and delay $h = 12$ months. Red line represents the average of the trajectories and the black one represents the equilibrium point, $E_1 = (N^*, C_o^*,C_r^*,C_b^*) = (0.3167,0.4189,0.1542,0.1101)$
