All this shows is a correlation between IQ score and drug use. There's not even an attempt to explain why more intelligent people would use drugs more often. I'm not terribly surprised THAT more intelligent people use drugs more often, but it would have been really cool to see some data points or a survey trying to explore the reasons behind that fact. I suppose, though, that would be too much to ask from an article entitled "Why Intelligent People Use More Drugs."

Second that. My guess is that "intelligent people" are more likely to see trough the "If you touch that devils marijuhana cigarette your gonna end up with a needle in the arm, boy" and have a higher curiosity towards things that make them see things differently. It would be cool to see some data about what drugs higher intelligent/educated persons tend to use. My guess is that weed, coke, LSD,Mescaline,Psilocin have a somewhat higher user base than say Opiates, Meth and stuff that actually can turn your life around for the worse very fast. I shall investigate with a poll. :)
