There's a recent paper you can download by searching for "Drug harms in the UK: a multicriteria decision analysis" -- the press has talked about it the past few months.
@twipley Should be added that, the paper notes the non-counting of benefits in comparison to harms as a main approach limitation.
I have a list of books for example taking into account both the harms and benefits of substances such as MDMA, LSD, and psilocybin. Also, impairment of mental functioning can significantly be lowered according to those concerning the two latter substances through proper use. But "proper use" is a wide topic, worthy of a great deal of condensed pages. To be followed..
@twipley Well, again some thing worthful of being noted is that, as stated in the paper, "a low score in our assessment does not mean the drug is not harmful, since all drugs can be harmful under specific circumstances."
