191 million is too big of a number to be insignificant. Try picturing every midwestern state being filled with drug users. Try picturing every citizen of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Miami either smoking a bowl or snorting a line. Then you would almost be close. But not quite.
Crime involving drugs is at an all-time high.
It was kind of strange that I ran into the World Drug Report statistics the other day. In the last two weeks, a lot of things occurred which brought this topic to mind. The first was a co-worker who took some bad acid and ended up in the hospital. This same co-worker didn't learn his lesson from this. After being released from the hospital, he bought a bag of pot from someone he didn't know really well.
