Good point here, I can certainly see this.

I think the thing that bothers me the most is the intent. If Health Canada wanted to have an awareness campaign about prevalent drugs and didn't know which ones to focus on for example, conducting and publishing a survey like this would be appropriate (and enlisting a publication for help like djmag/mixmag/ra would certainly be beneficial). Genuine purpose with potential for positive outcome.

But I think the main purpose Mixmag and The Guardian did this survey was to drive traffic and sell magazines (lets face it, negativity and controversy sells). Just kinda feels like a cheap shot. Sure, something positive might come out of this data, but I doubt that was the driving force behind gathering it.
