Could it be? Apparently, all drugs were measured on a multitude of factors, including impact on society, addictiveness, and health risks. I am not surprised that alcohol is worse than marijauana, but I am surprised to hear they feel cigarettes are more dangerous than marijuana too because from what I have read in studies, marijuana had more cancer causing agents in it than tobacco.

Very interesting study, I have been echoing this rhetoric for years, but at least in the United States, powerful lobby groups will keep Alcohol and Tobacco legal, and drugs like Marijuana illegal.
