Countries with looser drug laws have lower rates of abuse, the researchers report in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS Medicine.




Well, you could read that correlation either way.

Don't agree with drug laws or drugs myself. Just sayin.
My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

That's interesting. The headline mentions drug abuse, while all of the stats mentioned in the article pertain to drug use. And a lot of the stats quoted only pertain to people who have tried a certain drug at some time in their lives, which hardly has anything to do with levels of abuse.

In the United States of America, illegal drug use is considered abuse.

Well they're also talking about people who have tried tobacco or alcohol at some point in their lives, so I guess they're saying that that is substance abuse too?
