How many people in the world smoke weed? ?

Question

I know that a lot more people smoke weed than many people think. America is pretty ridiculous when it comes to pot, and lots of people here are under the impression that it's very bad for you and only druggies and failures smoke weed. But I'm a senior in high school and am in the Running Start program where I take all of my classes from the community college for high school and college simultaneous credit. I've always qualified for honors and AP classes, and am generally pretty intelligent and I think I turned out pretty well. I'd die without marijuana. I think it's good for the soul. So anyway, how can I find out how many people actually smoke weed. It has to be at least like 40% right? I mean, there's obviously no way to have a totally accurate number because a lot of people wouldn't admit to smoking weed. But I know the weed smoking community is larger than it appears.

Answer 1

If I guess the right answer, what do I get?

Answer 2

I'm hyper and high off of life almost all the time. I've never really found a time when it looked appealing to me. That's the only reason I, personally, don't do it. That and my uncle currently has cancer from it but you can get cancer from stepping off of the street curb the wrong way. Honestly, to each his own. If to be happy or make yourself calm you need to smoke a little then do so. Life is too short to consistantly analyze and pick apart. Especially when it's someone else who's picking it all apart.

By the way, national survey says that roughly 65% of Americans are currently in a routine of smoking marijuana. Roughly 70% have done it at one given point in their life.

Answer 3

You have to devise a survey where you can actually define "smoking weed". Do you mean currently, within the last 6 months, etc. You then have to survey a sample of the target population. You can base your statistics on the percentage of the population you actually interviewed or got feedback from. Its a lot easier than you think, but you do have to get feedback.

I'd say its well over 1 million people worldwide (say that they smoked within a month)

Answer 4

depends i mean are you talkin everyone in 2008 or just everyone in general ?

but iuno i smoke it occasionally but i dont drink. I feel that alcohol is alot worse than pot, because after a while it calms you down and all.
