Drug classification rethink urged
Would be interesting to see how they qualify "harm". Because sorry, GHB that low? No way. Ecstacy even lower? No way again. Ecstacy in itself, if taken every 3-6 months in small quantities is not harmful, but that just is not reality - and the way 90% do actually take it, large quantities every couple of weeks, is extremely harmful. Believe me, I know. GHB - is often called "liquid ecstacy" in Europe, many times fatal when overdosing or in combination with alcohol.
As for cannabis - I believe that it can be psychologically addictive, but there is imho no real physical harm.
As for alcohol - I never had any doubt whatsoever that it is way more harmful than other drugs - but again only when taken in large quantities and regularly. Somehow, the chance of actually getting hooked on alcohol are far slimmer than on i.e. XTC.
I find it difficult to weigh the different risks against each other. A book very much worth reading: High Society. It raises an intrigueing question - what happens if all drugs are legalized and heavily taxed, as alcohol and tobacco are?
