Drugs: charts and infographics

by javier on 6/08/2010

I’ve been collecting charts and infographics about drugs for a while. The topic is multidimensional and that makes it interesting for visual representations. Some of its facets:

  • type of effect (euphoria, relax, allucinations…)
  • level of addiction provoked (very, little, extreme…)
  • legal consequences of consuming/dealing (jail, misdeameanor…)
  • secondary effects (nausea, sleep, appetite)
    price

  • social acceptance
  • context of consumption (marginal, social, individual…)

And here are the charts, numbered for your convenience when commenting:

1

2

3

4

5

Am I missing any classic that should be on this collection?

My favorite is #1 for obvious reasons. Which one is yours, you little druggies?
