Alcohol is socially accepted. Drugs are not. Marijuana is usually looked upon as a drug for hippies, yet hippies are the smart ones, considering alcohol is worse for you.

Alcohol > smoke. That is all.

Vagina > PP. That is all.

Oh look a drug thread!

Ecstasy rated low?! Hahahahaha whoever wrote that article was high.

MDMA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

X has been known to trigger all sorts of hairy side effects including heightened depression and even suicide in some individuals. Yes, alcohol can be a huge risk if you drive while under its influence, but that's where being a responsible consumer comes in. Taken in moderate amounts, I have nothing to worry about with alcohol.

I also would never touch any of the heavier ones like heroin or meth. (Meth in particular = loss of short term memory + teeth falling out) A person consuming alcohol responsibly will suffer none of these effects.

How can you get high off of a bastard gas like butane?

If we'd been serving up spoonfuls of heroin or ecstasy pills since time immemorial like we have with alcohol then they probably wouldn't be illegal.


Given those statistics, I'd go for drug B. Irrational, I know.

I still don't believe for a second that alcohol is more harmful than meth or coke. Sorry but shit just don't make sense.

Sounds like a load of shit to me

Meth ranked low on the "harm to others column"? No way. That shit will tear you from every single person you know, except your drug dealer.

That article is bullshit. I will always be for the decriminalisation of drugs, but there is no way in hell alcohol is more harmful than meth, heroin, coke, etc.

Alcohol is a drug, but it's a drug the government can make money off of. And it is worse than most drugs. But no, it's not as bad as heroin and I do not see an adequate explanation for such a conclusion. Hahaha.



I also don't see how shrooms would be beneath LSD.

That chart is physical harm to yourself, alcohol is so high on the list because it is a collective graph of harm to yourself and others. Barfights, drunk drivers, and all that stuff contribute to alcohol topping the collective list, even if it's not as harmful to the user as heroin, meth, etc.

But alcohol is legal and heroin is not, so the comparison is incomparable.

That makes no fucking sense, at all.

I didn't know that:/

Shrooms are the least harmful thing? Bullshit. Never been in pain when I'm stoned, but after a shroom binge on the weekend my head was pounding for 4 days straight.

Also, the majority of those aren't addictive at all.

Khat being one of the lowest addictiveness? Mephedrone (Meow / MCAT) is derived from that, and I've seen plenty people get hooked on that.

Ket also.. you get addicted to that and you fall asleep, doesn't really work.. unless it's the kind of mental addiction where you love to mong out..

How does it not make sense? If it's legal, there's more people doing it and thus, a higher rate of statistics.

Because its proven that alcohol doesn't just harm the user (over time) but ones around them.. A high percentage of crime is alcohol infused...

Suicide, murder, domestic violence have a higher chance of happening if the perp is under the influence..


You can make the argument for heroine and crack cocaine, but its on a much smaller level.. Since alcohol is so widely used.
