Note that alcohol (despite being legal and used more often than the other drugs) is by far the most harmful; not only is it the most damaging to societies, it is also the fourth most dangerous for the user. Most of the drugs were rated significantly less harmful than alcohol, with most of the harm befalling the user.

The authors explain that one of the limitation of this study is that drug harms are functions of their availability and legal status in the UK, and so other cultures' control systems could yield different rankings.
Italiano: I ricercatori hanno chiesto ad esperti di danno relativo all'uso di sostanze psicottive di classificarle in base al danno verso l'utilizzatore e verso altri individui della società. Questi valori includono i danni alla salute, dipendenza, costi economici e criminalità correlata. I ricercatori affermano che la classifica è stabile in quanto si basa su varie misurazioni e solo scoperte significative avrebbero un effetto su tale classifica.

Si noti che l'alcol etilico (malgrado sia legale e l'utilizzo più frequente rispetto ad altre sostanze) è di gran lunga la sostanza più pericolosa; non solo è la sostanza più dannosa per la società ma è anche la quarta per danno all'utilizzatore. La maggior parte delle sostanze psicoattive ad uso ricreativo sono valutate significativamente meno pericolose dell'alcol, con la maggior parte dei danni che ricadono a carico dell'utilizzatore.

Gli autori spiegano che uno dei maggiori limiti di tale studio è che i danni sono in funzione della loro disponibilità e stato giuridico nel Regno Unito; perciò, differenti sistemi di controllo in altre culture potrebbero produrre classifiche differenti.
