Ironically the states with highest weed consumption also magically mirror the highest life expectancy.


Yeah, you’re right. I wonder if there’s an abundance of 90 year olds smoking weed. My more boring assumption is that weed keeps people off the more dangerous drugs and alcohol. Maybe it’s just a correlation to being mostly in states with abundant nature and nature related activities.

Can we see a list of just whites? Just blacks?

That would be interesting.
Just guessing, I doubt the rankings would change a lot. In either ethnic group.


White folks aren't much better these days at living healthy lifestyles. Rates of dysfunction are closing in as well.

If you could give me 7-10 more years in my 20s, I'd take that deal.

If you could give me 7-10 more years in my 70s, I'd have to give it a lot of thought.

Know that there is only one which is possible and you have your answer about life expectancy.

This is a fundamental misreading of life expectancy statistics. The number is lower in southern states because of higher infant mortality that brings the average down.


Ah. No big deal then

I was thinking this reading the thread. Latoya has raised the murder rate enough in NO to bring down the average for the entire state.

Every bit of this makes sense to me with the exception of Hawaii. Hawaiians are every bit as out of shape as the average southerner.

Actually there’s a lot of red states with high life expectancy

I’m sure the southern states isn’t because of the food culture combined with a high percentage of a demographic that tends to be very unhealthy and likes to shoot each other

i wonder how it would look adjusted for race and income

eta: i think the results would be similar but the gap would be a bit less drastic when adjusted for race. louisiana whites don't compare well to colorado or vermont whites.
