I may have misread some statistics here so correct me if im wrong.
This document claims that about 20% of everyone beetween 18-25 years in the US has tried an illegal drug, 16% of these having done marijuana.
And as you can see the use is down to 11% with people 26-34 years of age.
After that its 5% for people 35 years and above.
I dont think you have that many addicts in your country. |
Addiction is not defined by the number of days, hours, or minutes between usages.
What do you consider to be an acceptable number of addicts in a society, and would that number be higher or lower if usage were legalized?
Just because we are not doing as well in the war as we had hoped does not mean we are going to give up.
