Drug addiction is a serious issue, but if you look at the chart comparing relative harm, they've included 'dependence' (ie addiction) as a factor in how harmful the drug is. Drugs like LSD, magic mushrooms and MDMA are not physically addictive, and its rare to find someone psychologically addicted to them. That is quite different from drugs like cocaine, speed, heroin, etc. - or even nicotine (which is legal!), which can be extremely addictive! Thanks for commenting Phil.

I think drugs are so dangerous not because it is a cause of dying people. It's so dangerous because of drug addiction. Very interesting article.
