The data you cite contains obvious flaws:  

---

ANNUAL AMERICAN DEATHS CAUSED BY DRUGS

TOBACCO ........................ 400,000
ALCOHOL ........................ 100,000
CAFFEINE ....................... 2,000
ASPIRIN ........................ 500
ALL LEGAL DRUGS ................ 20,000

---

 

"400,000 + 100,000 + 2,000 + 500 = 20,000"

 

Whether products of incompetence or fabrication, these numbers are as worthless as the government that produced them, and the lives of the addicts who kid themselves in their publication.

Obviously they meant perscription drugs by "legal drugs".
