(HuffPost) Those are the findings of a new report published in Scientific Reports that compares the lethality of the recreational use of 10 common drugs, including marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamine, diazepam, amphetamine and methadone. Researchers found that marijuana has the lowest risk of mortality and is safer than the commonly used alcohol and tobacco as well as the rest of the drugs in the study. They determined the risk of mortality by comparing the lethal dose of each substance with a commonly used amount of each substance. The finding that marijuana has the lowest risk when compared with the other drugs is not surprising — previous research had found that marijuana is a substantially safer recreational drug than other commonly used recreational drugs examined in this study. That finding stands in stark contrast to the lethal risk of alcohol, which the researchers found to be potentially more deadly than heroin. Marijuana is so much less risky than alcohol and tobacco that the researchers say their results point toward developing policies that prioritize managing the risks associated with alcohol and tobacco, rather than the illicit drugs in the study. Further, the low risk of cannabis use suggests government should use “a strict legal regulatory approach rather than the current prohibition approach” to manage the substance, the researchers write.

Alkohol i duhan neizmjerno štetniji od marihuane Od svih štetnih supstanci, marihuana se nalazi daleko na začelju po štetnosti, a na neslavnom prvom mjestu je - alkohol Istraživanje su proveli njemački kemičari Dirk W. Lachenmeier i Jürgen Rehm, koji su utvrđivali procjenu rizika za alkohol, teške droge, kanabis, duhan i ostale opojne droge. Zaključili su da je od svih supstanci najštetniji - alkohol. Slijede heroin, kokain i duhan, dok se marihuana i njezin aktivni sastojak THC nalaze na posljednjem mjestu. Studija pokazuje da je THC čak 114 puta manje smrtonosan od alkohola. "Uzevši u obzir rizike povezane s konzumiranjem marihuane i alkohola, autori preporučuju da se pažnja prilikom procjene rizika u prvom redu usmjeri prema alkoholu i duhanu", piše Washington Post
