Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
Key word is habitual. 60% of Americans have tried it. Is that the number you were looking for

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
So 1% are habitual vs 75% for alcohol? Still not buying that.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
If making up percentage numbers it is best to use deciamls and odd numbers, just gives it a more convincing feel. Example 1.22% are habitual users 61.23% are recreational users See much better!

for those who care:
NIDA - Research Report Series - Marijuana Abuse Doesn't seem the war has been effective, if it were a military war, real casualties (like iraq/afghanistan) we would have found a way to get out of it long ago. |

I think you are seeing the result of the "war on drugs" there. I went to high school from 88 to 92 and we must have had at least one drug forum a month at my school. Plus I remember even a huge Pepsi sponsored one that rolled through each year. The war on drugs may have not stopped trafficking so much but it may have stopped a number of first time folks or people on the fence if you will.

Well, Dr. Dre's The Chronic was released in 1992. I think that pretty much explains everything.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
Honestly that could have had an impact. I remember all of a sudden everyone was smokin' blunts at parties, so that record and others at the time definitely had some influence.

Re: Washington, D.C., Approves Medical Use of Marijuana
My guess is through the 80 when I was in high school there was the slogan "Just say no to drugs." It was working and fewer people each yr were using it. I think it simply bottomed out around 92 and they tried to come up with a new slogan. I think sometime around then they came up with the whole frying pan commercial..."this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs."
