The 2nd image - I very, very much doubt that's harm per user. "Overall harm" almost certainly doesn't mean that, and then harm per user is a very important metric.

I'm not sure I follow, the harm to the individual user is present in green, is it not? Here is the study this is from: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

Dude use some common sense. Drink a beer and compare it with smoking just one puff from a joint. Tell me which fucks you up more. There is your answer.

Maybe you equalize the dosages then. Otherwise I could ask you to down a few shots of hard liquor vs. taking a 5mg THC edible and tell me which fucks you up more.
