According to that view at least, good old Britain comes a couple of spots ahead of Aus in terms of a worse drug user problem ;-)

In order (worst first)

1) Afghanistan
2) New Zealand
3) Russia
4) Britain
5) The United States
6) Iran
7) Australia

Back on topic, the cost of drugs in Australia is extortionate and i would strongly advise any future migrants that if they like a "little something for the weekend" then don't come to Australia

The UK's drug problem is minute compared to Australia and New Zealand. Big difference between cocaine and meth.

and you are moving to the US ? Well, I guess if you believe the UKs drug problem is minute compared to Aus, you may be in for a big shock as to how bad it is over there

Feel free to check the latest worlwide 2011 stats out for yourself (from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime).

Aus stacks up against them pretty well
