A new study published in Scientific Reports calculates the safety of illicit substances according to risk of death. The findings? Apparently, researchers have been underestimating the dangers of alcohol and overestimating the dangers of marijuana.
Based on the data, marijuana appears to be 114 times less deadly than alcohol, and out of all the drugs surveyed, alcohol ranks as the most deadly, and marijuana turns out to be the least deadly. Following directly after alcohol is heroin, then cocaine. Tobacco is fourth deadliest, revealing a dramatic difference between the danger of substances commonly grouped together.
The findings contribute to growing literature on the benefits and risks of marijuana use, which is often neglected in policy debates. Still, researchers caution that the data is preliminary.
Despite its preliminary status, researchers still argue the results are sufficient enough to orient risk management prioritization to alcohol and tobacco, instead of substances like marijuana.
As the researchers write, “[c]ompared to medicinal products or other consumer products, risk assessment of drugs of abuse has been characterised as deficient, much of this is based on historical attribution and emotive reasoning. The available data are often a matter of educated guesses supplemented by some reasonably reliable survey data from the developed nations.”
