Marijuana + Medicare, a potent combination

[Faith No More]

Do you know where the chart comes from. Why would weed be harmful to others?

Shit, sorry, I was super tired when I posted that and forgot to post the link.  Here it is...

And here's the a quote from the site...

Individual harm (such as dependence, mortality, and impairment of mental functioning) was considered under "harm to users," while "harm to others" (such as crime, environmental damage, and international damage) took into account the number and extent of others harmed by individual drug use.

So, I imagine that much of the "harm to others" has to do with its illegal status in most places and the fact that that fuels a lot of crime.  To be honest, though, I have to question this chart a bit.  Benzodiazepines are extremely addictive, and going through a severe withdrawal can kill you.  So, it's shocking for me to see it lower than marijuana.  Here's a another list with a different conclusion...

So, take from this what you will, as there appears to be no real consensus on how harmful each drug is.  All I know is that through personal experience and the information I've absorbed from doctors, one of the most dangerous drugs is the one that's readily available and legal in the entire U.S. and most countries (alcohol).
