    I think it's frigging hilarious that GHB, LSD, and Ecstasy are listed as less dangerous than tabacco. I guarantee you that smoking a cigarette has never, ever, made me see the gateway to hell surrounded by stray cats and raging fire or a man's penis as a 6-foot tall cactus. Pot just makes you drive really slow and methadone will just encourage you to sit on the couch and watch "Being John Malkovich" 4 times in a row. GHB made me love everyone, it used to be sold legally at my local GNC, so WTF? It is like being drunk to the 10th power without any stubbling, sickness, etc. All of the good times without any of the bad. The only reason it was outlawed was because people were overdosing. Whoever compiled this list has obviously never done ANY of these drugs.

    Smoking cigarettes would have killed more people than all of those illicit drugs combined. Alcohol related deaths would be up there. I would have put those two at the top. It depends how they define "dangerous" in the study.
    If you count all the chemicals and cancer causing agents in cigarettes there is no worse drug.

    How is XTC less dangerous than pot? I believe that list is incorrect. No one has died because of pot yet, many of died because of XTC and other drugs on that list.

    Haha, me too. Well, it was fun at first, but then I started doing it too much and started getting REALLY slutty when I was on it, and would be a bit ashamed of my behaviour the next day. So I stopped taking it and haven't touched it for years.

    Yup, I've never even done drugs and I don't even think Cannibus should be that far up on the list..

    Wait where is METH? seriously?!

    And K ..K is dangerous? Okay now granted it isn't good for you, but shit you are so fucking relaxed and retarded you can't do "more " and you can't drive.

    God I miss K.

    But yah Heroin is right up there. THat and meth I think are the two drugs that if you are prone to wanting to always feel up or always feel down that they'll hook you ASAP. Both apparently are one hit wonders.

    ANd what about crack?

    IT should be

    Alcohol
    Tobacco
    Meth
    Heroin
    Crack
    Cocaine.

    The reason I put the two legal substances first is because both are easily available for ANYONE. In my mind making it the most dangerous because of how easy it is to get your hands on it.

    Meth doesn't kill quick enough but it rots your brain out so , um yah,

    Heroin can kill you quicker than most drugs IMO

    Who the fuck does Benzo's anymore?!

    Uh, everyone? It seems like every girl at my club is on a Xanax or Valium or something of that ilk.

    That and every prescription painkiller you can find. Prescription meds definitely need to be higher on the list. When you get into the Oxy's, Fentanyl and Methadone, that shit can be just as deadly as heroin.

    Crack is cocaine. It's just got all of the cut cooked out of it.

    My ex smoked crack day and night. What a mess.

    What is this list based on, anyway? Because I agree that things are either out of order, not on the list, or don't belong on the list.

    ^ I know that. But people that sit around smoking crack all day seem to always be a far bigger mess than the sniffers. At least the ones I've encountered. But from what i've heard, smoking anything ( meth, heroin and coke ) makes it that much harder to kick., well next to shooting it

    Indeed. Take a stroll through the court system, not only for the users or sellers but family consequences. In the rough spots, it's a modern-day horror story.

    I think meth could be grouped with 'amphetamine'.

    The list is all wrong. Ranked by loss of life, loss of productivity, and destruction of property, alcohol and tobacco should be at the top of the list.

    I think I've done 10 of those on the list. Lately I just stick with a little weed and sometimes wine after work.

    Seriously, WTF? No one has ever died strictly from weed.

    I distinguish meth from methamphetamine. Methamphetamine can be prescribed (methamphetamine hydrochloide, i.e., Desoxyn) as a stimulant.

    Street meth, known formerly as "crystal meth," is a form of methamphetamine processed in crystalline/powdered for smoking. It can be processed out of other things than the prescription drug, is highly addictive, and you will never find it in a prescription.

    LSD is less dangerous than weed? WTF? I couldn't disagree more. And sorry, but there is no damn way that cocaine is more dangerous than meth. I know a lot of casual cocaine users but no casual occasional-indulgers of meth.

    Almost everyone is questioning the study, but few seem to have read the story to find out the study criteria. One of the most interesting components was a survey of what drugs were most dangerous to society.

    If you consider the study criteria, you'll have a better understanding of how they were looking at the problem and why the results came out as they did.

    "Nutt and colleagues used three factors to determine the harm associated with any drug: the physical harm to the user, the drug's potential for addiction and the impact on society of drug use. The researchers asked two groups of experts — psychiatrists specializing in addiction and legal or police officials with scientific or medical expertise — to assign scores to 20 different drugs, including heroin, cocaine, Ecstasy, amphetamines and LSD.

    Nutt and his colleagues then calculated the drugs' overall rankings. In the end, the experts agreed with each other — but not with the existing British classification of dangerous substances."

    Interesting study.

    Its not just about deaths.
    Hydroponic weed is a whole different ball game to bush weed. Locally I know there has been a sudden problem with mental problems associated with pot use. It was unheard of in the days when everyone just smoked naturally grown pot.

    Same with heroin - when its not cut with all kinds of crap, pretty much the only problem with it is that its addictive. Its long term effects are nowhere near as harsh as tobacco or alcahol. However this study is about what the average person is buying on the street in Britain not the drugs in pure form.
