Cannabis does kill, mainly due to trauma, MVCs, and suicides. But it has killed older individuals with pre-existing heart conditions. Albeit, alcohol and nicotine has killed many, many more. But cannabis is not a harmless drug. #wigmoreoncannabis journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Very worrying trends when confronted by the realities of legalising every drug under the sun. The libertarians never think about the casualties which include lifelong disability to the most vulnerable. They are too busy, out to make a quick buck. #BloodMoney

Notice how marijuana for pain never really cures people. Promoting cannabis for pain -- especially using the high-potency products -- is the marketing of addiction. Lobbyists repeatedly claim that their patients need high potency. These people are fraudsters.

If "Prescription" according to tobacco industry advocates, is the same as "Prohibition", why hasn't the government done anything about closing down those 30 thousand pharmacies operating across every state in Australia? #Misinformation #PrescriptionModel
They continue to defend the industry that started the problem and keeps on killing people with combustibles. And the industry PMI/BAT continues to fund front groups activities. You advocate for ecigs; you advocate for big tobacco and continued addiction and harms.

It is unacceptable and deeply harmful to public health that the Biden Administration has once again delayed issuing the final rule to prohibit menthol cigarettes. This decision prioritizes politics over lives, especially Black lives. Our statement👇 tobaccofreekids.org/press-releases…

Typically brilliant and horrifying charts from Colin Angus, highlighting that less-well-off, middle-aged men have borne the brunt of alcohol deaths. This is the opposite of the impression we might get from the balance of media coverage.
There's some amazing data hidden away in ONS's user requested data section. Last year they quietly published death data by age, deprivation decile and cause, which means we can look at age patterns in alcohol deaths by IMD, with sadly predictably grim results:
