This is a report from Australia on its extraordinary drug use. Here's the headline and after reviewing that I will rip it apart: Australia comes top of global list for recreational drug use in United Nation’s 2014 World Drug Report
That must means that those wacky Australians must use more recreational dope than anywhere else in the world, right. It says right there that Australia tops the global list. What else could it mean.
In fact the title doesn't even agree with the content of the article. The only, repeat, ONLY type of drug in which Australia came out on top was the use of Ecstasy (XTC). The author states that fact twice although we don't know if that error came as a result of the author's drug abuse. The author also states that consumption of XTC is going down so what crisis exists in that arena is not clear.
So, the premise is crap, the title is crap, and the content is rubbish ...
Our collective craving for a hit is only set to heighten, with the number of drug users continuing to rise steadily.
We have a 'collective craving' and, holy shit, that has got to be bad. And it's only 'set to heighten' so it's going to get worse. Quick review: this is the same reporter who just said that XTC consumption is going down.
Then he said: Jesus told me this. Seriously. I asked Jesus about it and he told me. 'The number of drug users is continuing to rise steadily.'
Now we don't think the author is referring to the rampaging abuse of prescription pain pills which far exceeds any use of recreational drugs because we know the government won't let Jesus say anything about those. I can't criticize the reporter too much as the U.S. government won't let Jesus talk about pain pills either, he's only allowed to talk about reefer and crack, etc. It's not that Jesus doesn't want to do it as he really hates pain pills but you know how governments are. Do you recall Jesus hanging with any governments. Neither do I.

I also sympathize to some extent with the reporter as review, if you will, the level of insult to a reporter to be assigned a boring story like this when every reporter on the planet wants that all-expenses-paid trip to Brasil to cover the World Cup. No wonder the author is pissed and is writing stupid crap.
