U.S. leads world in coke, weed use
July 3rd, 2008
According to a World Health Organization (WHO) survey, the United States leads the world in total number of people who have tried (or, at least admitted to having tried) marijuana. The same was true of cocaine usage. Clearly, the war on drugs and the hundreds of thousands of marijuana arrests each year have worked spectacularly. Or, and I’m just speculating here, maybe it’s time for a new strategy.
