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.

That’s weird, I thought the Netherlands were going to number one for weed use, as it’s legal over there.

Maybe the study is wrong. Or maybe people in Amsterdam and such treat weed like people in major cities treat tourist attractions: it’s always there, so it’s not all that interesting.
