Drug harm chart. Alcohol the worst, then heroin. This chart was made before fentanyl existed on the market as an illegal drug (it's been around since 70s but was a pharma drug). Fent would be still below alcohol but above heroin, according to articles I've read about drug harm comparing it to heroin, which said it was twice as harmful.
Note that dead last is mushrooms. And slightly above that LSD. Harm only to self not to others.
No one has died from psilocybe mushrooms. They have died from taking mushrooms they thought were psilocybe mushrooms or those called laughing gymnopolis and other similar ones. No one has died from the direct effect of LSD as the ld50 is unknown. That said, they've gone insane, and thrown themselves from a window or fucked up their brain permanently. There was a cop that went into an LSD lab and breathed in without protection gear and absorbed something like 50 million doses worth of lsd and spent months in the nervous hospital but eventaully was able to come to, but could never 'see' the same way, his vision and I believe his hearing was permanently fucked
Still fentanyl due to how careful you have to be with dosage. You could probably outright kill a child with it if they step on your used needle you left in some random park.
True, and I wonder if the heroin stats are being muddied up with that. Heroin and cocaine used to be sold as medicines, which makes me wonder if they're not as bad as we were told, at least when used correctly. But Fentanyl is a very new drug and appears to be pure poison. I watched a doc on it and the high people get only lasts 30 minutes! They called it the crack cocaine of opiates, where the user must keep chasing the high! That sounds like it was designed to kill.
Back to meth, I can't think of any other drug that turns people so psycho and violent. Alcohol is an interesting one, some people get rendered goofy and useless, while others seem to go incredible hulk madmen. I don't know what to make of it
Overall I'd say any substance in this chart could be removed completely if people would just use it appropriately and not abuse it. That's what pisses me off on the "war on drugs". They just outright took them away from us and left us with toxic and useless alternatives, like Tylenol and Advil, cigarettes (thank God for vapes!) and alcohol (they tried to take it though! kek)

this chart also puts weed above methadone in terms of harm. if you've lived in a city with opiate abuse, you know this chart is a load of crap.
I'd think Meth would be the top harmful drug...chart does seem off
