hmm, I guess this is where i heard it: BBC Horizon
Damn tv and subliminal messages :p
Might watch it, just for a laugh.

Just incase link dies:

4/9 - Britain's Most Dangerous Drug
Horizon pings all over the place at the moment; there's no telling what they'll do next, or whether it'll be any good. Thankfully, this is. It's a kind of warped chart rundown of psychoactive drugs, ranked by how much harm they do. That might sound like a stunt, but it's based on solid research by a panel of leading doctors and psychiatrists. They produced a paper for the Lancet that turned some accepted ideas on their head, ranking tobacco and alcohol as dramatically more dangerous than, say, ecstasy or LSD. To help illustrate the countdown there's music, fun graphics and the odd archive treat, such as marvellous newsreel footage of a 1960s experiment involving a group of British soldiers who took LSD and ended up giggling helplessly in a field. "With one man climbing a tree to feed the birds," booms the po-faced voiceover, "the troop commander gave up."

EDIT: Pretty interesting, its avalible to watch on BBC iplayer for the next 6days if anyone wants to watch it:

doh, shitty BBC.
Heres the link to the statistics page:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/broadband/tx/drugs/survey/
They ratted Ecstasy as #18th UK's most dangerous drug, LSD was somthing like 16th, marijuana was around 12th, tobacco was about 8th and Alcohol was somthing like 6th i think. Scag came 1st.

I think the 1 death a year from marijuana was lung cancer based.
They commented about marijuana being a very complex and hard drug to understand, due to the 1000's of compunds it has (THC being just 1)

mmmmm THC

As I now understand it (epic bump) marijuana is a lawfull activity out side of commerce, one just needs to claim their right to smoke it.
What happens when somone violates ur legal right?
