"Compare this to alcohol, where 185 million people have tried it, and 110 million have used it in the last month.

How many abused it last month? How many of you (we) ignored or even condoned a loved ones abuse, leaving that 'dirty little secret' alone? I'd love to know the unbiased truth... tho I can't imagine how one could possibly come up with the numbers.

I'm going to avoid climbing on my soapbox again... I just wanted to again make my point that there is a huge difference between use and abuse, IMHO of course.

I'm not sure, but I've heard the figure of 10%, which would put the number at 28 million.

But the purpose of my post was to compare the number of people who have ever tried a drug with the number of people currently using that drug. There's no comparison between alcohol and marijuana.
