My only problem is that I wish this graph came with a link to the source of this information. I know this is true, but just to back up facts for people who may not know this information, a source would be awesome.

It’s an easy google. :) Here ya go:

Fucking bullshit by the way.

Been seeing this around for awhile and was hoping somebody would pull some sources. Thanks.

This shows how effective my medication has been over the years, which does not look very good for me.

Just the Facts: It’s a Locking-People-Up Problem

These should have been pie charts. Amateur hour.

“The following graph shows the association between childhood general intelligence and the latent factor for the consumption of psychoactive drugs, constructed from indicators for the consumption of 13 different types of psychoactive drugs (cannabis, ecstasy, amphetamines, LSD, amyl nitrate, magic mushrooms, cocaine, temazepan, semeron, ketamine, crack, heroin, and methadone).  As you can see, there is a clear monotonic association between childhood general intelligence and adult consumption of psychoactive drugs.  “Very bright” individuals (with IQs above 125) are roughly three-tenths of a standard deviation more likely to consume psychoactive drugs than “very dull” individuals (with IQs below 75).”

High Society is an exhibition on the influence of (illegal) drugs on society and culture.

It features some interesting infographics on which countries prefer which drugs.
Ireland comes out on top for Ecstasy, Speed and (not surprisingly) alcohol use.

You can see the full graphic on the top 8 countries for each drug here.

Found this on the BBC News website here, I thought it was pretty interesting.
