Rhode Islanders Are The Biggest Pot Heads In America
Thankfully, in every state in America you can buy marijuana. It is said that 40% of American’s have smoked marijuana at least once in their life. Some (like yours truly) prefer to smoke more than just that one time.
CelebStoner has an article featuring which states in the union have the highest percentage of marijuana smokers. It turns out the tiny state of Rhode Island beat out the other 49 states to be crowned the biggest stoners in America by having 16.12% of its population 12 and older smoke on at least a monthly basis. However, Vermont came in a close second with 15.75%. Then, it drops off a bit at the third place state, New Hampshire, which had 13.82%.
Personally, I live in Michigan, which came in 10th place with 11.91%. That makes sense to me. I live 45 minutes away from Detroit and that’s where everyone I know gets their bud. It’s never out of stock, always cheap, and its always quality.
Also, is it just me or does Alaska seem ridiculously high on this list? They came in 4th place with 13.79%. Alaska’s current population is 686,293. This means 94,639 people are smoking reefer with Russia in their backyard. Is it even possible to hot-box an igloo?
The one state that seems low on this list is Hawaii. It came in 38th place with a sad and confusing 9.04% stoner population. Its the fucking Aloha State for God’s sake! Hawaii is all about island living; Surfing, eating pineapples, chilling on the beach, and smoking some good weed. Apparently stereotypes are not always true.
In last place with only 7.17% of its citizens smoking, is Utah. I can’t say that this is surprising, considering 60.4% of the state’s population is Mormon. I guess if you’re Mormon you are too busy wearing magic underwear, banging your multiple under-age wives, and being racist to enjoy ripping a bong-load.
This graph shows the percent of people 12 and older who have used marijuana in the past month. (From a 2006-2007 government survey)

I think it's funny that all the states that suck that nobody wants to live in are the highest on the list… Great post
damn mississippi is where im at and at the bottom. it is hard to find new smoking buddies. plus u have to keep ur shit on the DL in the bible belt.. god damnit
Damn…to me, it seems like everyone and their dog smokes here in Idaho.
This list surprised me. I honestly expected California to be the number one state with like a 20% stoner population.
yes its possible to hot box an igloo.. as a matter of fact, "cold boxing" would work insanely better than a "hot box" in lets say, a car. The cold condenses smoke. so in turn, making the smoke stick around in the air a lot better. its quite cool.
Next time your smoking a blunt, take a cold glass cup from the freezer and shotgun smoke into the bottom, have the blunt parallel to the side of the glass for better results. its cool as shit, you can sit back and "drink" your smoke.
This chart was ripped off from CelebStoner – and not even the courtesy of a link!

did you actually read the article? Check out the first word in the second article, and that has been there the whole time homey….
My bad, thanks for the link!
ha ha, the first sentence of the second paragraph says that this is an article from Celebstoner… something tells me you we're baked when u posted this comment. : )
I have read the article and the link I am not convinced that texas is that low, I have atleast 15 friends in a 10 mile radius that smoke. So then dd 15 friends for every 10 miles and this is texas, iam a minitrucker too, so when we travel the south( az, la, ark, miss, fla, ga, tenn )state we always pick up smoke going all the way up to thr east coast. So iam thinking this pole is off by big numbers. Why is that? I was in. NY state last yr for a funeral, my cousin drove an hr and a half to get a 20 sack that cost 160 bucks that tasted like dirt. But when they came down here a few mths later my cousins were dead after one puff of a blunt. But its pretty silly RI is beating all the states how many times can it fit in texas and cali, oh well smoke is smoke no matter where you are laterzs blaze on….
Texas has 24,326,974 people. 7.92% of that number is 1,926,696. if there is almost 2 million stoners in ur state, ur bound to run into some of them lol
Really? Texas is so far down? Everyone I know here smokes!
Same here dude. ha
