I think the key is in the wording "damage to users themselves and to wider society".......if you take into account all the arrests, jail and prison times and alll the $ spent on law enforcement I can see how cannabis could place there.

I can see it as the only way, if its pure health i dont see how cannabis couldnt be at the very bottom or close to it.

Well statistically Tobacco by itself is responsible for 435,000 deaths in the USA Each year. Which is about 30 times more than all deaths from all illicit drugs combined. You be the judge, but I agree as far as a fast acting drug that can completely screw you over, nothing quite like alcohol.
