Spent five years in Colombia - never even smelled grass being used on the streets or ran into a drug addict.
Interresting. I was surprised just a few days ago by a thread on CGOAB than mentioned peoples fear of guns as a main reason for not wanting to travel in the US. I never would have thought. Now another mention, just today.
Colombia`s requirement for drug addicts to wear placards proclaiming the fact sounds like a good idea. That way you can never pass one in the street without knowing. EDIT: Also keeps them from being run into by bicyclists while wandering about in a daze! Much safer than being a stealth addict in the US or Canada
