    3.65% of americans smoke pot "regularly despite harsh laws against its use. Our public policies should reflect this reality, not deny it."

    not as impressive as i would hope.

    kids, get your friends to toke up!

    Hell yea, although some heads are just too ignorant. But as CNN has actually spoken well about marijuana, hopefully heads will in fact start toking.

    I bet my grandma is changing her view on it LOL

    United StatesPopulation: 301,139,947 (July 2007 est.)


    301,139,947 * .0365 = 10,991,608

    About 10 million, and that's usually the figure that's thrown around.

    they actually said 11 million americans

    which sounds more impressive than 3.6528%

    i used that exact estimate from google to figure out the %

    10,991,000 rounds to 11 million

    also you have to take into account the Smoker who didnt answer honestly on the survey. Which could potentially raise the real number a bit.

    ^ She's got a good point, regularly, yeah probably only around the 3-4% but people that smoke like once a week aren't considered regular tokers, at least not in my book.

    here's the paragraph;

    Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America (behind only alcohol and tobacco), and has been used by nearly 80 million Americans. According to government surveys, some 20 million Americans have smoked marijuana in the past year, and more than 11 million do so regularly despite harsh laws against its use. Our public policies should reflect this reality, not deny it.

    so...
    80 mil tried it (once or a few times)
    20 mil in the last year
    11 mil "regularly" =monthly, weekly, and/or daily

    +the HF stoners lounge population

    i don't think it's meant to be very specific

    it is norml, they are prob tryin to make #s seems as h:hat:gh as they could
