comenonletto: thedailywhat: Beautiful Perspective of the Day: Infographic on drug-related deaths vs. proportion of users vs. media coverage in the UK, prepared by David McCandless of Information Is Beautiful for a Guardian blog article on the subject. Note on cannabis-related deaths: The cannabis deaths figure is a bit dubious in my opinion. Firstly, how can you die from cannabis? It’s extremely non-toxic. There has never been a single documented case of fatal cannabis overdose. Also, the government’s own figures don’t tally. While drug figures from the Office Of National Statistics register 19 cannabis related deaths, the mortality stats from the same office log only 1 death. You can view the raw data used to compile this inforgraphic here. [via.] la dose letale di fumo è un panetto da 200 kg che ti cade in testa (cit.)
