It's completely possible that Americans snort more cocaine than that per year.

  I feel fairly confident that the average American doesn't snort a sixth of a pound of cocaine each year.

    At just over 1g a week, it's not out of the realms of possibility, taking into account those who abuse it. I've unfortunately known people who could use that much in a week.

      Oh for sure I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that there is someone somewhere who goes through a sixth of a pound per year. In fact I'm sure there are people. What I absolutely do think it's out of the realm of possibility that the average American does. Something like 2% of Americans use cocaine.[1] That figure is probably extremely imprecise, but it barely matters because even if it was 20% it would require that the average user was going through a gram a day.
