OK I tracked that table's source down.
You probably just pulled it from wikipedia. Wikipedia cites a 2010 Economist article, which cites a similarly dated Lancet article, which is paywalled because it's the Lancet. However, as intelligent men we can counteract such measures and pull up the article.
The paper is meant to dictate public policy. You can see the breakdown of the scores for weed in the second figure, and we can now do a lot better than scratch our heads at the way it doesn't seem to add up.
In particular, you can see various artifacts from the fact that this was studied in 2010: cannabis is seriously linked to crime, economic cost, and familial adversities in ways that it isn't today, and that explains a lot of its score.
