How many of 'us' are there?

[RogerChristie]

Hello there,

Aloha. I just found this chart of religions of the world. If there are more than 365 million Cannabis enjoyers on Earth that means that there are more of 'us' than Buddhists, and MANY more of us than Jews!

Wow! We're a potentially GREAT influence group. No wonder 'they' try and keep us down. We're BIG! Let's get organized.

(Is an organized Cannabis movement an oxy-moron?) :-O

All the best to you,

Roger
