Dubious and NPOV statement

Cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms, have been ranked by the scientific community as being less addictive and overall less harmful to human health than tobacco and alcohol.^[1] This is why the government of The Netherlands in Europe concentrates on enforcement of "hard" drugs such as heroin and cocaine rather than "soft" drugs such as cannabis or psilocybin mushrooms.^[1]

I have removed the above statement because it cites a single source, a report commissioned by the Dutch Government, as evidence that the entire scientific community regards cannabis and 'mushrooms' as being less harmful than tobacco and alcohol. In fact, there are plenty of scientists who believe cannabis to be a cause of various mental health problems such as schizophrenia and at least equal in harmfulness to tobacco.

In reply to the above statement (the one which says that many scientists believe cannabis causes schizophrenia). Please site your references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.184.51.220 (talk) 15:01, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

new chart

Here is a new chart of drug dependence potential and active/lethal dose ratio based on well-referenced data.

I think it might be appropriate for inclusion on this page. Thundermaker (talk) 15:42, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The alcohol carve-out

Original:

Addictive drugs such as alcohol, tobacco and caffeine have been a traditional part of Western culture for centuries and are legal, when in fact the first two are more harmful than some substances classified under Schedule I.

Revised:

Addictive or dependency-forming substances such as alcohol, tobacco and caffeine have been a traditional part of Western culture for centuries and remain legal, though it is now established that alcohol and tobacco are potentially more harmful than some substances subsequently classified under Schedule I.
