I found a visual representation

I like that in graph form alot more ^.^
I think GHB should be higher aswell though at least higher then cannabis. It's a risky drug, if uneducated people were using it all the time I think it would score alot higher.

How is tobacco harmful to others? unless thats referring to second hand smoking which still doesn't seem quite right. Same with cannabis, There is very little evidence that second hand smoking causes problems let alone from second hand smoking from weed, so little evidence I'd even go as far to say I've never seen or heard of such evidence.

Being natural and from a plant should have no influence on a drugs safety. I wouldn't like seeing people driving on Opium, LSA or Datura.

Great point and I agree with you 100%

On that graph "harm to others" for Meth-Amp is one of the lowest. Does that not seem odd to anyone else?

That graph is worth its pixel size in gold.

Perhaps it also measures the cost to the public health system and the resulting cost of premature death and disease caused by smoking.

Rather be at a footy game with a bunch of drunks as opposed to a bunch of crack addicts, that is fo damn sho!

The crack-heads wouldn't even be at the game because they'd be in a room at a house having blast after blast of crack, duh The meth-heads would show up to the footy though, that's for sure.

Watching a footy game with the entire crowd on MDMA, LSD or another psychedelic-type substance would be veeeeery interesting to be a part of though, especially if the players were dosed too... lol could be a scientific experiment... of sorts

Haha, if everyone were on MDMA, there would be no rivalry. A Man U vs Liverpool match would turn into a love pit. So yeah, you're right, interesting haha!

I'd participate!
