Cannabis consumption in rich countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Western Europe is slowly dropping but gradually rising in Latin America and Africa.
A study published in the medical journal The Lancet says four percent of the world population between the ages of of 15 and 64 have had some experience with the drug. Cannabis use is the highest in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Weed and hash are less addictive than nicotine and heroine. Some 32 percent of those who use nicotine end up addicted, against 23 percent of heroin users and nine percent of cannabis users.

I hope that cannabis will be ban soon and those who sell it after that to do jail. I see at drug rehab Arizona people that destroy their lives because of this drug. It's so sad to see so many people that don't know what they do, until is too late.
