Beautiful Perspective of the Day: Infographic on drug-related deaths vs. proportion of users vs. media coverage in the UK, prepared by David McCandless of Information Is Beautiful for a Guardian blog article on the subject.
Note on cannabis-related deaths:
The cannabis deaths figure is a bit dubious in my opinion. Firstly, how can you die from cannabis? It’s extremely non-toxic. There has never been a single documented case of fatal cannabis overdose. Also, the government’s own figures don’t tally. While drug figures from the Office Of National Statistics register 19 cannabis related deaths, the mortality stats from the same office log only 1 death.

Ensayo de un crimen - Luis Buñuel (1955)
The fascinating website Destructible Man tracks “The Theory And Practice of Cinematic Prosthetic Demise,” which is a convoluted way of saying it looks at the use of dummies for death scenes in movies. Like Log or other noteworthy film sites, DM wisely relies of the use of stills to make its points; scrolling quickly down one of this blog’s entries, in fact, can be like a 21st century flipbook.
