Research published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that alcohol is the deadliest recreational drug, followed by heroin, cocaine, and tobacco. Cannabis, at the bottom of the list, is 114 times less deadly than alcohol. Christopher Ingraham of the Washington Post writes:
-
[I]ndividuals and
organizations up in arms over marijuana legalization could have a
greater effect on the health and well-being of this country by shifting
their attention to alcohol and cigarettes. It takes extraordinary
chutzpah to rail against the dangers of marijuana use by day and then go
home to unwind with a glass of far more lethal stuff in the
evening.
