British Study - Most Dangerous Drugs!!!
It was broken down into 9 categories, and each category was rated. Some of them pertaining to society and the impact the drug has on it. Does X have a big impact on society? No, not at all. LSD? Hell no. Does weed? Yes, very much so. That's why it was higher. Cocaine...obviously not in the same league as herion and meth, yet they rate it second, because it does have an impact on society due to violence from distribution and I believe they mean Crack too.
Is the list wrong in some areas? Hell yes, I don't see Meth or Crack.
Btw, you're pretty naive to the facts of drug use. Drugs don't kill braincells. Life kills braincells. Braincells die throughout the day. Pure MDMA (if you know what that is) does not 'kill braincells' or 'put holes in your brain', and you do not die from it, any deaths related have many, many other factors involved....and that's not what they meant by 'put holes in your brain', they meant it literally. Pretty dumb statement by both you and them.

You dont need to read this crap to understand it, I can see what there trying to prove just by looking at the list, they wanted to make a list of drugs and list them according to there dangers in society, And i cannot help but disagree. Most these drugs don't even impact society, Pot is only a problem in society because its illegal not because people get stoned. If it were legal no one would give two shits and every one would be at ease on the topic, If any one can give me a list of pots social dangers please let me hear em. This is basically a list of what people believe not what proof is held. Its like me putting god on the list, i can name a handfull of people who have done worse in the name of god then some kid smoking pot, or better yet some guy after a hard days work smoking some weed to easy the harsh realities of his job. You cannot make a list based on societies views becuase society its self is twisted. There is not "right" list when speaking in a general sense about societies views becuase half the time society is wrong...... i mean honestly how about when it was ok to own a black man as a slave..... now thats fucked up, or how about the idiots calling jihads when they cannot even prove the man exists. Im ranting alot but im just proving a point that society cannot label things according to how they "feel" about them becuase i dont give a fuck what other ppl think, if it aint doin me no harm, and i can see my actions do not effect others, then it cannot be listed as dangerous to society, Every one is different, and u cannot say that one would do the same as others, thats why i think drugs should be listed only by there Health effects.

Yeah ok it doesnt kill them, but it does lifetimes worth or damage, braincells regenerate and die on a normal daily basis... yes. Alchohol kills more braincells then u give credit, ever herd of a BLACKOUT, u know when u cant remeber what happend the next morning, yeah that was you! killing your braincells.

I'll agree i was off on the MDMA about the "holes" but the couple of sentances after that kinda say emphasize the point u were making that most drugs dont even hit the brain more or less the body, Either way it doesnt matter, what is a good brain when ur dying from some organ failure. either way its still bad and that is the point.

I take it you never heard of neurogenesis.
There's been studies that simply abstaining from alcohol would increase the speed of cell growth in the brain. If this is the case, why wouldn't this fact be applicable to Marijuana, Ecstacy or any other drug?
Anti-drug propaganda is intended to scare people away from doing drugs, not to induce people to use common sense and reason.

I just think the phrase 'killing brain cells' is one of the most vague statements, and should never ever be used.
Over the past five years since I've been drinking, I've probably blacked out like 100 times at least lol. And I won't even be legal age until this summer lol.
Add to that, I've drank 20 plus beers while rolling a few times. I've drank very heavily while smelling white things on countless occasions. I've smoked enormous amounts of marijuana while drinking and while not.
Just saying, not that I disagree with anyone here....but from my personal experience, substance use has done no harm to my brain, body, or organs as far as I'm concerned. I still have the most unbelievable long term memory that even people who are sober say 'Wow'. Still got an above average intelligence. Still in great shape. 'Oh Mac, the damage will come soon enough'. Yeah, I doubt it.
