Let's do some math. Let's say we have a sample of 100 households. The average occupancy in the US is 2.53 people per household. So 253 total people.

You assume that out of those 253 people 83 of them are heavy drug users?

The statement 1 out of every 3 people are heavy drug users is certainly an interesting take.

It's wrong, but interesting

    They're saying at least one in 1/3 of households. So it's closer to 33/253 or at least 13% of the population. That still feels very high but it's not a number I'd call bullshit on it's face if given by a reputable source, though I would be quite skeptical

    Yep math is not my strong suit. But even still that's a ridiculous number. If you factor down you ratio by 3 then you get 11/84.3 people are heavy drug users.

    If you went into a room of 85 random people do you really think 11 of them are deeply addicted to drugs?
