C'mon, man, rave on, haven't you heard of it? Get loved up on it some time. Fair play an' all.

It's also known as ketamine.

Alright :D I was thinking of cornflakes for a while :p
 
Other:

Cigarettes (a legal product that kills about 270,000 Americans per year and far more than are killed by alcohol and illegal drugs combined).
 
Alcohol and heroin are the two most dangerous drugs. That you didn't even list either is pretty funny :p
 
Coke... That crap is so expensive!

I cant believe people are tossing in achohol, tobacco, and cafine. Thats babyfood compared to the harder stuff. You cant compare a lifetime on coke vs lifetime on cigs.

apparently some people are considering the amount of damage done to society rather than the individual

obviously cigs kill a lot more people than coke but i'd rather be addicted to cigarettes than a coke head.

glad i'm neither.

How do you define dangerous?

Alcohol is more dangerous than coke in almost every way, except its less addictive.

In fact alcohol was banned in America before coke was.

Modern anti-drug laws never existed until Nixon.

Alcohol impares judgement more than coke and is more likely yo lead to violence by the user.

Coke is more addictive, slightly easier to OD on, but not much.

Pot is the least harmful of anything, including cigarettes, so if pot is on there cigs should be too.

Opium products are obviously the most dangerous of all.

On a per use basis I would not rate coke very dangerous at all. I mean I woudl definately ride in a car driven by a guy who just did a few lines over a guy that just drank a 6 pack. You are less likely to do something stupid on coke too.

Right now the death rate associated with alcohol in America is many times higher than the death rate for all illegal drugs combined.

recently the History channel has been running a great series on the history of recreational drugs in America. Try to catch it if you get a chance.
 
Other: alcohol

having worked in the mental illness field and in detox I have to say ALCOHOL is the hardest drug of all, hardest on the body, haredest to quit, haredst on your life. Alocohol kills more people than all the others combined.

followed by cocaine, PCP(causes brain damage), meth amphetamine, and on down the line. Ketamine huh, date rape drug.


I believe that all drugs should be legal but i have concernes for the number of heart attacks if we legalise cocaine.
 
5 million people died last year from cigarette smoke. Also, booze is a big one on the list. I think pot is pretty low on the list. This is not to say that crack and crystal meth are not very dangerous, but they are a lot less widespread that cigs or booze. So overall, definetly cigarettes and booze.
 
Alcohol. Alcohol is pretty dangerous and that's not even factoring in the costs of ruined lives. None of the other other drugs come close to matching the devastation produced by alcohol.
 
Legalize them. Government has no business DICTATING MORALITY.

I voted for crack, because while people can live on herion or Crystal Meth for years or even decades, you don't find too many crackheads with long lifespans. Couple years TOPS.
 
Nicotine. Highly addictive and deadly.

Legalise recreational drugs and let the medical community deal with addiction. The current laws force addicts underground where help is hard to find.
 
I'm with the others...why are legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco not listed?

ALL drugs should be legalized. It is simply none of the government's business what you decide to put into your own body.
 
It would seem according to some of the responses here that "prohibition" is the worse drug. It steals your liberty, finances and possessions. It also helps to maintain extremely rich (and non-tax paying) illegal organizations (both domestic and foreign).

Moreover, alcoholic beverages are typically very fattening. No one has ever been accused of having a "coke belly," but there is a "beer belly."

There is a "pot belly" but that does not have anything to do with marijuana.

Yes, and unfortunately the politicians and law enforcement personnel are all addicted to it.
