    What a phony headline! Make the case for legalizing marijuana if you want to — there’s a case to be made — but don’t call a chart tracking poisoning deaths in any country evidence that one thing is “less deadly” than another. The dose makes the poison. Perhaps aspirin is “less deadly” than marijuana. This chart certainly doesn’t prove it, however.

    Excuse me: “Perhaps marijuana is ‘less deadly’ than aspirin.”
