@ Mangokeylime: Thanks for working on this article. I have some reservations about describing some of these drugs as legal as they are not available to the general populace and use if heavily restricted. I am interested in knowing what countries have legal MDMA and LSD. It would probably be good to add some references to the list. Sizeofint ( talk) 01:34, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
There is no evidence that some drugs are "hard" and that others are "soft". This distinction does not exist in any field of science. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zouloum ( talk • contribs) 04:09, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
2600:1010:B102:7E3D:EFDA:4A7C:EDA2:3B1C, I don't think the drug rankings are a medical claim. The study is simply reporting on how Scottish addiction specialists perceive the harmfulness of various drugs. The image in various forms has been included in high traffic drug articles since 2007 despite scrutiny from many medical editors. Sizeofint ( talk) 05:36, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
The biggest issue with this chart is that there are lines connecting adjacent drugs. The harmfulness of the drugs is somewhat sorted which makes the chart look useful, but in reality, the harmfulness of the adjacent drugs are completely unrelated. These lines make it very difficult to not make the assumption that adjacent drugs harmfulness is somehow related.
