Drug Danger Visually

I can't read the article that accompanies this graph, but the graph alone is pretty interesting.  Unfortunately, without the methodology from the article, you can't see why amphetamines (which I assume includes meth) are rated as less dangerous than cocaine.  A more serious criticism would be that dependence is a lot less important than physical harm.  For example, a huge chunk of the population is dependent on caffeine, but there is so little physical harm that it has a net positive affect on society.  I suppose the counter point would be that without habitual use physical harm is minimized.
