ok let me tell you a couple things about research: first of all, nobody should ever believe random unsourced internet graphics from people on atrl. there's a massive chance that those are either biased or outright false. so that was your first problem. second of all, i reverse image searched this and the source is wikipedia. that's already bad. but then, i checked the source they used in the wikipedia article and it's an article that they can't even link to. in any research class they'll tell you that you shouldn't use sources that you can't read. why are you taking this graphic at face value if you haven't even read the source article? how do you know that article is accurate and not biased? finally, this graphic, even if you take it at face value, doesn't give us the information we're looking for. it says these drugs are
less harmful, but it doesn't say how harmful the drugs actually
are. getting stabbed is less harmful than getting shot but it can still kill you. do you see my point here? without knowing the article's perspective on how harmful alcohol and tobacco are, we can't know how harmful the other drugs it lists are.
basically, this is full of holes
