Yeah, my mistake something like >90% of herion addicts started on cannabis, but only a fraction of cannabis users progress onto heroin. I fucked up!
My point was that if you read the first part of the statistic it looks like everyone who tries cannabis progresses onto heroin.
It is irrelevent to this discussion anyway.
The statistic on LSD deaths comes from figures published in the UK between 1960 and 1992. If I recall correctly all of those deaths were circa late 60s / early 70s.
