I wonder if anyone is dumb enough to take that chart seriously. I'm afraid many are.
[/ QUOTE ]Uh, it's from the [censored] Lancet, and it was done this year. If somehow you know more than the most recent medical research you should get yourself published.
A rational scale to assess the harm of drugs. Data source is the March 24, 2007 article: Nutt, David, Leslie A King, William Saulsbury, Colin Blakemore. "Development of a rational scale to assess the harm of drugs of potential misuse" The Lancet 2007; 369:1047-1053.

I fail to see any significant health risks from LSD, and from the wikipedia article on MDMA: "The chief executive of the UK Medical Research Council stated MDMA was "on the bottom of the scale of harm", and the Science & Technology Committee rated it of lower concern than for alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis, when examining the harmfulness of any given drug"
So really, your "lol ritalin isn't as bad as acid" article should turn the medical research community on its head.
