Aussies, Kiwis and Americans Biggest Marijuana Users

[Skip]

According to research published in The Lancet, a medical journal, the biggest consumers of marijuana are the Aussies, New Zealanders and Americans (including Canadians). In each of those countries 8% of the population has used cannabis within the last year. Europeans use less as do Asians, Middle Easterners and Africans.

The report states that the medical issues resulting from such high cannabis use seem to be far less than the problems resulting from alcohol and tobacco in Australia.

This article then repeats the usual Australian gov't propaganda against the "evils" of smoking cannabis. What a hoot!

I invite you to travel to, say, Halifax, Sudbury, Trois-Rivieres or Winnipeg. And when you are there, on a Saturday night in a local bar, preferably during the hockey game, loudly use the term "American" to refer to "Canadians" and announce to the local crowd that when you say "American", that really means "Canadian".

My guess is that after you get the shit kicked out of you and are discharged from hospital a few days later, you won't be casually making that mistake again.

When you mean "North American", say "North American". Unless your intention is to insult 35 million people and start a fight, that is.

Yeah, but what is Canada gonna do about it? Send a bunch of Canadanadians to a UN convention and write a strongly worded letter?

Kidding kidding, I love you guys.

Canada, America's hat!

 

[MOneYMiKe]

[Jellyfish]

Us Canucks are the 3rd biggest landowners in the U.S., next to the U.S. gov't and Japan...

And we did it without guns.

And we have seed stores.

And really good beer.

And socialized medicine.

And more clean water than any other country in the world.

And we say "thanks" alot.

Thanks, eh...

Agreed! Also, anyone making real estate investments for long holdings (like a couple 100 years) oughta buy land towards Canada's coasts, at least 20' above sea level. In 200 years it will be warm and sunny after some global warming, plate shifts and melted ice caps.

seems that discussion is going ot but.. the most impressive thing that hurt me is that ONLY 8% of population use cannabis.. i think it's a sad thing, and in some ways even not true: im my country -italy- many use it, imo that medical journal had not discovered all the ganja lovers in the world.. sry 4 bad english

 

[Jellyfish]

Yeah, 8% seems low to me too.

 

[Hughesy]

An Australian, A KIWI and a YANK all smoke a cone and the Yank falls off his bar stool, the kiwi steals his shoes and the Australian laughs to see such fun and lights another one for kicks.

 

[Classyathome]

And they send the Canuck in to police the shit...

 

[Bushwacker420]

Well, 8% admitted to using marijuana... I'm willing to bet it's higher than that, at least I hope it is.
fatigues, you have every right to be just as proud of Canada as you can be. My home is in the U.S. but I get the chance to visit northern Ontario a couple of times a year and I love it. I agree that Canada and the United States shouldn't be lumped together, Canada deserves to have her own recognition. HNIC rocks!!

 

[HashMonkey1982]

haha maybe 8 % of old people. The younger generation its more like 50 % at least. Maybe even higher.

they always pull the same argument here the anti-cannabis people that it causes schizophrenia and psychosis? why isn't everyone that smokes it schizophrenic and psychotic? that argument doesn't stand up. I don't hear any voices etc or imaginary people. I do feel for anyone who suffers these conditions though.

Some varieties of cannabis are actually anti-psychotic. CBD is an antipsychotic constituent of ganja that has largely been bred out of modern varieties in favour of THC. On the contrary it could actually be medicine for people with those conditions if they can do research and find the right varieties (the ones high in CBD). At the moment people are left in the dark and have no choice but to smoke whatever they are sold or whatever is available.

Soviet canuckistan sucks what a bunch of lumps. After strains make it big in america they travel up the pacific sea board to canada./ The funny thing is then breeders like k and g from vancouver can make cheap f2 seeds off american and dutch strains and sell them with out fear. Everybody knows its not thier work. Shit an american even won the stoner games held in canada. bOTTOM LINE one day canada will be another state the only reason you canooks still have clean rivers is shit floats down stream and in the northern hemisphere most rivers run north to south. If you hold out on timber steel and lumber we will embargo your ass so hard if not invade. And trust me canadians are not straped like americans. Another important factor Americans won their independance canada has never fought such a war.

 

[pedrodepaco]

Ps we have florida where do you guys get warm

 

[kiwigreen420]

Ancient post ha but us kiwi's smoke the most per capita and have the highest arrest rate in the world. Im pretty sure 1 in 7 people smoke regularly over here and 80% under 25 have at least tried it.

 

[Hank Hemp]

Don't insult 300,000,000 Americans by calling them canadians. How are you gonna "kick the shit out of me" while your wearing my boot up your ass? I'm getting a little tired of hearing all the American hate speech...That would never be said to this Americans face!
