I’m surprised that mexico and latin Ameican countries are listed.

You could probably throw up a map of countries with the most bipolar disease and see a true picture of pot use.

Notice that they were able to completely cover-up the Asian portion of the map? That and Confucianism are why they’re eating our lunch. We can’t afford to have so many of our workers on weed, narcotics, alcohol and all that.

I’m seeing saturation on the large former British colonies.

Only because they don't know the word(s) for it there. For example, ganja in India and several other countries.

Jamaica should be this shade of green:

Consider the source: the UN is not reliable even on this subject where they have some degree of experience.

I have bipolar disorder and I have smoked pot in the past.

It made things worse in terms of extreme mania.

What should we do about the alcohol - anything different than we should do about the weed?

That is not a chart of "prevalence rate"; it is a chart of diagnosis rate. Diagnosis of bipolar disorder has been extremely fashionable in the U.S.

I can believe that, especially for sativa strains. A lot less likely for indica strains. Indica could actually moderate the manic phase.
