Stats?

Give me all your money or I'll bash you to death with my doobie!

Globally, it is estimated that in 2010 between 153 million
and 300 million people aged 15-64 (3.4-6.6 per cent of
the world’s population in that age group) had used an illicit
substance at least once in the previous year. The extent of
illicit drug use has thus remained stable, but the estimated
15.5 million-38.6 million problem drug users (almost 12
per cent of illicit drug users), including those with drug
dependence and drug-use disorders, remain a particular
concern.

It is also estimated that there were between 99,000 and
253,000 deaths globally in 2010 as a result of illicit drug
use, with drug-related deaths accounting for between 0.5
and 1.3 per cent of all-cause mortality among those aged
15-64.1 Moreover, it was estimated that in 2008 there were
16 million injecting drug users worldwide and that 3 mil-
lion (18.9 per cent) of them were living with HIV, though
no new figures are available after 2008. Global prevalence
of hepatitis C infection among injecting drug users in 2010
was 46.7 per cent, meaning that some 7.4 million inject-
ing drug users worldwide are infected with hepatitis C.
And some 2.3 million injecting drug users are infected
with hepatitis B. Evidence is also emerging that non-inject-
ing drug use is also associated with an increased risk of
HIV infection, principally due to unprotected sex

Drug users in the general population are more
likely than nonusers to commit crimes
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) National Household Survey on Drug Abuse asks
individuals living in households about their drug and
alcohol use and their involvement in acts that could get
them in trouble with the police. Provisional data for 1991
show that among adult respondents (ages 18–49), those
who use cannabis (marijuana) or cocaine were much more
likely to commit crimes of all types than those who did not.

So do car accidents. Are we going to ban cars?
