The stats are in: Australia has a new category that we are world champs in.

The Global Drug Survey 2017 surveyed 115,000 people, including 5,700 Australians, giving a good indication that we love our weed down under.

Although we're not number 1 for cannabis consumption, we lead the world in using bongs.

More than three quarters of the Australian participants claimed to have used illegal drugs - with a third admitting to using narcotics within the last month.

Following cannabis, Australia's most popular drugs are ecstasy, cocaine and LSD.
