That just not true, there are a lot of places which value European individualism in the US or outside of it where drugs problems are on the same level as in Asian countries.

- rayiner 3y agoSo what I'm seeing is Africa/Asia with the lowest drug use, continental europe with significantly higher drug use, the Anglo countries (which are more individualistic than continental Europe) even higher, and the U.S. (which carries western individualism to the greatest extreme) at the top of the charts. There seems to be something weird going on with the former Soviet bloc countries, but overall the chart seems to strongly support the trend I'm talking about.
- nec4b 3y agoRussia, Myanmar, Mongolia, UAE, Belarus are all significantly worse then almost all of the European countries (only Estonia is worse). I wouldn't consider those countries more individualistic than Germany for example. Vietnam and South Korea are at same levels as most of central/western Europe. India and Italy are also similar. There simply isn't any correlation (a formula if you will) between how individualistic a society is and how much drug abuse it has.
