List Of Countries With The Most Pot Heads
Priceonomics.com has put together a piece showing the Countries with the highest marijuana use, down to the Countries where marijuana use is almost nil because of terrifying laws that are in place. The US is up there towards the top of that list. Did you know that in Singapore a person caught with 15 or more grams of marijuana is put to death.
According to the United Nations, 3.8% of the world’s population – roughly 266 million people – smoke marijuana at least once every year. In light of yesterday’s 4-20 “holiday,” we were curious to find out which countries contain the largest percentages of weed smokers.
When referencing marijuana data, it’s important to keep in mind that usage is self-reported, and is therefore limited to the extent of survey participants’ honesty (and clarity of mind). The chart below uses figures from the 2011 World Drug Report compiled by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. This report culled its data from a variety of sources – local studies, special population group studies, law enforcement agency assessments, questionnaires, and government reports – and some countries’ figures are tentative estimates based on the prevalence of other drugs.
The below graphic represents 163 of 196 of the world’s countries (data were not available for the other 33):
Data via UNODC’s 2011 World Drug Report (culled from local studies, special population group studies, law enforcement agency assessments, questionnaires, and government reports). Figures represent the percentage of people between the ages of 12 and 65 who consume marijuana at least once per year.
Papua New Guinea: Reefer Paradise
With 29.5% of residents reporting to smoke cannabis at least once per year (and as much as 56% of residents aged 15 to 20 years old), Papua New Guinea leads the list.
