In a recent study conducted by the UN and reported on by TIME, it was found that approximately 224 million people across the globe regularly smoke marijuana, thus making it the world’s most popular drug.
Marijuana is not only popular, but also incredibly awesome, especially if you have a lot of free time and two seasons of The West Wing to catch up on. This study classifies that these 224 million people are “drug users” because “marijuana” is a “drug” and also “what’s with all the quote marks” in “this article.”
To put that into other numbers, 224 million people is:
– 1/3rd of Europe
– 28 New York Citys
– 47 Alabamas
– 1/4 of everyone on Facebook
– 112,000,000 Black Keys
– a lot of people
– remember to Google a 6th fact
