Drug Use Map
Thought some people might be interested.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datab...-use-map-world


Australia has the highest rate of ecstasy but I think we already knew that. what I found interesting is that Nigeria is ahead of USA in pot use.

without putting in too much effort, because I'm a lazy shit, I'd be keen to know which of these top countries has legalised dope/other drugs. Go forth and do my research ITM spider monkeys!

Are we going to make the distinction between legalised and decriminalised?

I care not for semantics - just asking. Whatever your research paper turns up will be fine, I'm sure. Don't forget to included references & a nifty table of contents.

I'm really surprised Iceland has the highest drug deaths - 883 and their population is only about 300,000. Especially since their drug use percentage is fairly small.

edit: Comments on that page suggest it's incorrect

Quote:

When numbers look this strange, you have to go back and check your source. The UNODC's own report (http://www.unodc.org) shows only 45 deaths in Iceland.

Would be interesting on how they classify drug death as well, if you die in a car crash with a particular drug in your system are you classified as a drug death?

I believe that they tried to do an appropriate comparison by making each national figure a weighted deaths per million.

Iceland only had 45 recorded deaths from illegal drugs, but when compared with a population of say America thats a high rate.

RE the cause of death would have to be officially a drug overdose or medical condition related to extended use of drugs I believe, otherwise it gets way too subjective.

I love that they put tea in that chart.

I'm a little surprised by the death numbers of Australia (615) compared to France (36), UK (53), Netherlands (50), Germany (91).

IMO, it's a fine effort to be a recognised world leader in anything. The map shows Australia rank in the top 10 for 3 of the 5 listed drugs - with a bit of effort on our dope smoking and opiate use, i'm confident that by 2013 Australia can rank in the top 10 for all 5 drugs! We're also a world leader in drug death. Something for us all to be proud of.

A national "day of binge" public holiday is in order to celebrate and help ensure we maintain our status as a world leader.

so I had to go here to get the % of cannabis use in the general population, looked it up for a bunch of countries that have legalised / decriminalised it:
Bangladesh 3.3%
Belgium 5.1%
Mexico 1.0%
Netherlands 7.0%
Peru 0.7%
Portugal 3.6%
Spain 10.6%
Switzerland 3.4%
Uruguay 5.6%

Unfortunately they don't give the rankings and I cbf working that out, so as a comparison:
Palau 24.2%
USA 14.1%
Australia 10.3%
England 6.8%

this is confusing, very few countries have legal marijuana (apart from medical use maybe. Many countries including Australia with differences depending on state have a defacto decriminalisation for personal use. Most countries with decriminalisation have penalties for sale and distribution of weed.

yes, true. Most (all?) of those countries I listed it's personal use that's decriminalised, while production / distribution is still illegal. but being that this is General I thought it best not to get bogged down in too much detail.
