I was only talking about lethal overdose, where cocaine has a significantly lower threshold than meth. For acute damage, cocaine also has a lot of that, like the potential for rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney damage.
Usage patterns have an effect for sure, but that was not a part of my analysis. I think if we're including real world patterns, we also have to include adulteration with other drugs, and in that case I think cocaine is the more dangerous. While adulteration with other phenethylamines is a very common thing with amphetamines, especially in Europe, the more dangerous ones like PMMA and 4-FA seem to be fairly rare these days. More common are 2/3-FA and various cathinones.
