Map shows where in the world marijuana is most consumed

Marijuana is becoming more widespread worldwide. A graph of the United Nations, based on 2011 data, shows the percentage of the population that uses narcotics in different countries. The research took into account people who assumed they had used weed at least once in the previous year.

In the United States, for example, 13.7% of the population consumed the substance, despite marijuana being released in 4 states. In Brazil, the rate has fallen to less than 3% of all people in the country. In fact, South America is the continent with the mildest laws for cannabis use. Places with prison-to-death penalties, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, have the lowest rates in the survey.

Some surprises are the Northern Mariana Islands, with an index of 22.2%, and Papua New Guinea, with 29.5% of users. Already in the Netherlands, which is famous for the release of marijuana in cafes, the total number of adherents is only 5.4% - well below Italy, for example, where 14.6% of people admit to having used it at least once. year.
