• Isn’t it weird how the government still plays the anti-pot line? See, in the latest version of the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health, illicit drug use among the populace is up approximately 0.7 percent in 2009, to 8.7 percent. The study says the increase “was also driven in large part by the use of marijuana.” National Drug Control Policy Director Gil Kerlikowske seems to be convinced that marijuana’s possible medicinal effects don’t make it medicine, but continue to make it “an entry drug.” Whatever. More numbers:

• 21.2%of young adults screwed with illicit drugs in 2009, which is very high
• <50%of young adults think that pot is harmful – the lowest level since 2002
• 23.3% of all people use tobacco products, a new all-time low source
