I represent Lawrence, Kansas. Home of the 2008 Orange Bowl Champion and 2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Champion Kansas Jayhawks. The University of Kansas had the inventor of basketball Dr. James Naismith as it's first basketball coach (ironically the only losing coach in KU history.)

Worksop, England.

Now, im NOT lying to you when i present this statistical fact...

1 in 3 people in worksop have used, or currently use, drugs....

Wow that's low. The average is almost 50% across the UK and that's increasing all the time as the older generation who are less likely to have ever even tried cannabis die off.


50%!

Dont be ridiculous



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

I said almost 50%. The figure is around the 45% mark but obviously different sources give different figures as it can only be measured through self-reporting. And you could try, y'know, looking for sources before you dismiss something as ridiculous. I've just finished a drugs module at uni under one of the field's foremost researchers so I'm guessing I know a little more about drugs and drug use than you. I suppose you think heroin is instantly addictive? It isn't, there is no such thing as instant addiction. The average length of time it takes to become addicted is actually 6 months. I suppose you think alcohol makes people violent? Cross-cultural research proves it doesn't. It is the result people in the West expect so they play up to, but give alcohol to tribes people who don't know what to expect and it does little more than slur their speech. If you want to read some facts and primary research give me your email and I'll send you over some of the reading from my module.
