	Another reason to legalize it. The usage of marijuana actually decreased in the Netherlands after they decriminalized it, look it up.

	marsco:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 07:19 GMT	9 points
	Good list. Not surprised to see Singapore at the very bottom. With such draconian penalties... :-S

	stjmarko:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 07:43 GMT	1 point
	united states is spelled wrong

	D3nn1s:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 09:09 GMT	5 points
	Never thought that my country wasn't on the list... But at least we have a bonus answer :)

	ChanandlerBong:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 10:25 GMT	2 points
	No Iran?!

	amp2006:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 10:52 GMT	3 points
	Very interesting, no real pattern. Good quiz.

	hailstorm1230:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 15:04 GMT	0 points
	you should change "Unites Sates" to "United States"

	Traditionfeed:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 16:27 GMT	39 points
	What, no Vatican?

Comment below threshold: show it

	i'm so stoned, that i missed jamaica :p

	tsschorr:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 20:40 GMT	0 points
	hahahahahahahahah. AMAZING

	CitizenSnips:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 20:51 GMT	13 points
	Wait, if reducing usage is your goal, then wouldn't Singapore be your model, not the Netherlands?

	fatbeard:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 21:26 GMT	5 points
	Hate to nitpick, but on the given link, United Kingdom isn't one of the percentages. England and Wales is 10.8, Scotland is 7.9, and Northern Ireland is 5.4. So to just say 10.8 is inaccurate

	JezuzFingerz:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 23:15 GMT	10 points
	@CitizenSnips: Yes Singapore would be your model, but killing people for having a little fun is just uncool

	smarty:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 23:16 GMT	5 points
	lol netherlands was the first thing i typed

	The_Snakes:	Nov 19th, 2009 at 23:32 GMT	6 points
	Many people in the Netherlands are disgusted by Marijuana smokers.

	if Brixton were a country....

	smargo:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 00:12 GMT	4 points
	On the source, many countries are missing, and a lot of the data is from as far back as 1994. other than that, good quiz

	cheesyjon:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 02:14 GMT	8 points
	those Papua New Guineans

	kristen58:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 02:17 GMT	4 points
	fatbeard: Yeah, I know. If I just put the answer as England & Wales, people would not get it since it's not a country. And then people would be mad about that. I thought maybe I'd figure out what the actually percentage was...but with different populations between the four parts of the country, it got too complicated.

	Schweden:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 02:30 GMT	3 points
	Wow, I would think that developed countries filled up the list, but no eh?

	Johnny:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 03:08 GMT	2 points
	I'm brazilian and knew my country wouldn't be in the Top 20, but I'm shocked that it's out of the Top 100.

	bsd987:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 05:22 GMT	4 points
	Papua New Guinea!!!

	kidcanada:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 15:27 GMT	7 points
	Canada, representing the industrialized countries!

	PoisonSumac:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 17:44 GMT	2 points
	Hmmm gotta start looking for somewhere to live in Oceania...

	ForPony:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 23:50 GMT	4 points
	What a hodgepodge of countries! I certainly didn't expect the countries to vary in geographic location the way they did. Definitely eye-opening. Nice quiz. :)

	Steesh:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 03:45 GMT	24 points
	Perhaps the Canadians should replace the Maple leaf on their flag.....

	magister:	Nov 23rd, 2009 at 20:54 GMT	2 points
	I knew it was "in da islands" but not those islands!

	Psyk:	Nov 23rd, 2009 at 21:06 GMT	2 points
	@kristen58: It wouldn't be that hard, just weight each number by the relative proportion of the population and add them. That makes the answer about 10.4 (I used the population figures on Wikipedia for that) so it would swap places with Jamaica.

	Eurnix:	Nov 24th, 2009 at 07:46 GMT	5 points
	Being Dutch, I knew we weren't in the top20. We sell it!

	Matt999:	Nov 24th, 2009 at 18:48 GMT	2 points
	Papua New Guinea was stab in the dark, out of desperation. Very surprising mix.

	cocky:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 20:56 GMT	2 points
	That has to be lowest the number one answer has ever been ranked.

	recklessness:	Nov 26th, 2009 at 20:01 GMT	1 point
	Jamaica was the first I typed, and I thought it would be higher than #16. (Netherlands was second, lol)

	sweetfreedom99:	Apr 5th, 2010 at 20:19 GMT	0 points
	Woo, Canada :P

	Geo_Crazy:	Apr 20th, 2011 at 17:44 GMT	2 points
	A pretty random list.

	France:	Apr 20th, 2011 at 19:32 GMT	2 points
	Wow, Canada. We should just legalize it already, considering almost 1/5 of our population smokes weed.

	Frozenleaf:	Apr 20th, 2011 at 21:00 GMT	5 points
	Happy 4/20!

	thunderroad:	Apr 21st, 2011 at 23:20 GMT	2 points
	Ah, we're just .01 points away from making the rating 4.20 :-

	rufusbear9:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 01:39 GMT	3 points
	been to Jamaica, 10% is definitely not accurate

	jfeigen06:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 03:53 GMT	3 points
	4.20 rating!!!
