\u201dThe toxicological margin of exposure [the ratio between toxicological threshold and estimated human intake] approach validates epidemiological and social science-based drug ranking approaches especially in regard to the positions of alcohol and tobacco (high risk) and cannabis (low risk).\u201d<\/p>\n
