Social Media missing on that graph. x)

There's a highly refined, crystalline substance derived from plants that they have omitted and that I would place above alcohol.

Sugar.

Refined sugar consumption at more than just very minimal amounts is a modern phenomenon (last ~240 years) and has been immensely deleterious to the health of the general population. Health effects include dental decay and malformation, diabetes and liver diseases, obesity, and more. Sugar enables modern food manufacturers to make 'attractive' low quality, highly processed foods (e.g. junk cereal breakfasts). We give sugar laden foods to children at a young age, setting up an early dependency and an estrangement away from properly nutritional foods. The sugar industry has been the instrumental cause/enabler of colonisation and slavery. Sugar addiction is almost universal, far more than alcohol addiction, and consequently much more harmful, even when some of the health effects of sugar addiction are mirrored in alcohol addiction.

It's interesting that they included 'dependence' as a factor for harm to self but not 'co-dependence' as harm to others. Al-Anon is a pretty big testament to that issue.

I wanted to see if they weighted these things equally, and they ended up using something called swing weighting, something I am still trying to wrap my head around.

Here is another view of the data from the study:

Funny acid and shrooms have no harm to others

Some fun stuff on that list

Do you know what the 7 criteria are?

I was going to reply with exactly the same article :)

Most people think "legal=good, illegal=bad", which is not that correct in this case.

How is tobacco so low?

They missed sugar on the first place. btw alcohol is made out of it

Crack is whack

Vaccine! Is missing.

Alert the press! MDMA 50 percent more harmful than mushrooms!

Well, you know what Karl Marx believed to be the opium of the masses... Never found anything more harmful for humanity than that. Just my personal opinion, of course.

Couldn’t believe that Alcohol is the most harmful, the most??? 😳😳

I treat a lot of these... seems stupid subjective but would move alcohol way down at least below amphetamines/meth/cocaine lol wtf. I see an order of magnitude more meth cardiomyopathy than alcoholic cardiomyopathy (you have to drink a TON to mess up your heart).

Meth will also fuck up yo skin and teef so if you want to go hard go classy with cocaine like the hollywood actors and models do.

Shrooms FTW!!

Oh fuck.. its a joke study..

After seeing the order went reading..

When you see ketamine, methadone, and benzos being labled less dangerous by said experts.. have to be a joke 😂
