The Most Dangerous Drugs
 

Anyone who watched that program on tv last night, did you think that they were ranked rightly, or, perhaps, alcohol and cigarettes should have come on top of the list instead of heroin?

you don't get popped by the feds for selling cigarettes in colorado.

just sayin'.

however, chemically, sure.

I didn't watch this dangerous show, but I hope this helps.

Yes, mister, but they were ranked in a way that took account of the effects on the body as well as the effects on society. Alcohol and cigarettes surely claim more victims than heroin, but yes, you are right, they are legal, unlike heroin. Then again, why are poppers legal and cannabis isn't?

Heroin came on top. I missed the second position (or third?) but I'd imagine it would be cocaine. Crack was in the top three too. Poppers are a drug, and yes, they are a sex aid too. Still you wouldn't feel too well after you've done a lot of them, and nor would your heart. Ecstasy came at number 18 and I agree with that. I think its effects on people are grossily exaggerated.

agreed.

we should do a bunch of heroin right now just to prove those ninnies wrong.


in related news: my friend stephanie is going out for a smoke. she states than when she does, she's going to "smoke it hard".


edit: crack and meth are way worse than any of the above mentioned drugs (on society and yr body). this list was obviously anti-afghanistan.

Yep, that was another point that was discussed on the program. How addictive a drug is. Poppers came rightly at the bottom of the list. Bloatingslowly, heroin is not far more addictive than cigarettes.

Crack was in the top three. By the way, the program was about the most dangerous drugs in the uk. I'd imagine meth (another one ranked high) would be a different story in the states.

See above post.

cigarrettes and alcohol are more dangerous than heroin imo, because they are easier accessible and widely accepted in society, meaning more people will suffer from them. including myself.
i'd guess that somewhere between a third and half the population (in some age groups) will start smoking at some point in their lives, just from friends or going out, etc whereas heroin is not easy to buy/use without knowing the right people.

besides, you can be pretty sure that practically everyone who's ever used heroin has used other drugs before that on a frequent basis.

was pcp on that list? i always consider that dangerous to the people around the user

excellent point!
that and speed, coke+alcohol, etc...

poppers are a sex aid?

and by poppers, I assume you mean nitrous oxide.

I don't know about you, but I've never felt like doing the nast-T in a dentist chair.

actually, nevermind. that is a bold-faced lie.

carry on.

PCP is dangerous to the user too. My friend cut the shit out of his arms while on PCP. He had to go to the hospital and get an whole bunch of stitches.

Anyways, Meth is the worst drug in my opinion. Most drugs are just plain bad though.
I haven't seen this program you're all talking about by the way.

saw that.

Amyl Nitrate, n00b.

I'm sorry that I'm not hip to yr druggie jive, druggie.

I've never popped a popper in my life.

jeez, no need to get all fugazi on us.

Now that was just cruel.

I think they should be rated according to dignity loss/embarrassing behavior quotients.
