A very usefull graph showing the potential for self harm or harm to others by David J Nutt should be added. I have made one and it's ready to use. Be aware that there is a english and a german version. For a preview you can check the german wiki page of drugs. SiXtreme (talk) 13:11, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

 Not done for now: An actual link to the graph would be helpful. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:24, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

"Abuse of several psychoactive drugs can cause psychological or physical addiction."

Should be changed to "Abuse of several psychoactive drugs can cause addiction and/or physical dependence". " "Physical dependence" should link to the page "drug dependence" and "addiction" should have its own link.
