New research: Cannabis is 'safe' hundreds of times more alcohol and tobacco?

All stimulants can be life-threatening, but in terms of risk, alcohol is the most lethal, even a hundred times higher than marijuana.

Alcohol and tobacco are even more dangerous than cannabis

According to a recent study published in the Journal of Scientific Reports, marijuana is the lowest-risk killer among the seven stimulants compared . Among these, alcohol is the most dangerous compound , followed by heroin, cocaine, cigarettes, ecstasy, methamphetamine (rock drug) and marijuana. Marijuana is 114 times less dangerous than alcohol.

Marijuana plants.

To determine the risk of death from each substance, scientists conducted a study of the lethal dose of each substance, correlated with the actual use of these substances. The results showed that marijuana ranked at a "low" risk of death, the remaining substances ranked "average" and "high".

In addition, scientists also said that regular use of drugs is not as dangerous as alcohol use, even at moderate levels?

The correlation chart between dose and likelihood of death, the shorter the bar, the more toxic.

The purpose of this study is not to recommend what kind of stimulants should or should not be used, but only to compare the level of danger of common stimulants in today's life. And so the authorities should find ways to limit the use of alcohol and tobacco in people rather than hunting for marijuana.
