SAMHSA: State-by-State Marijuana Use Report
-
August 24, 2009
Recently, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) released a state-by-state drug use report that is both useful and informative. These government reports, like others regarding drug use, are based on surveys and the willingness of respondents to be truthful about their illicit drug use.
According to SAMHSA, what states had the highest and lowest marijuana rates of cannabis use? Rhode Island (16.2%) and Utah (7.17%) respectively.
The New York Times‘ Economix blog created some helpful interactive mapping to illustrate the SAMSHA data.

At least they only had to buy one marker to colour the map in!
Why do I always see surveys and reports about the number of marijuana users in the U.S. yet my friends and I have never been questioned about our use. Sounds like a bunch of bullcrap to me.
Sarah Palin is reportedly moving to Rhode Island. I wonnder why?
