La marihuana, que está dentro de la misma categoría que la heroína, el éxtasis y los hongos alucinógenos, no es más peligroso que el alcohol...

Marijuana, which is in the same category as heroine, ecstasy, and hallucinogenic mushroom, is no more dangerous than alcohol...

Why is it ...categoría que la heroína... and not ...categoría como la heroína...?

I found this in my dictionary

She went to university, as did her brother.

Fue a la universidad, igual que su hermano. "the same as"

Maybe I'm wrong. But I'd use de: "la misma categoria de la heroína." But I think como would work well too. I'm not too sure about que though.
