Didn`t really agree.

If they put life expectancy combined with Mortality Rate (percentage wise) and ability to function under effect.

Tobacco would have been much less dangerous and is less dangerous. I mean imagine taking ecstasy in the frequency we smokers take cigarettes.

Alcohol got a high rating too, I used to binge drink once a week for about 3 years and now I haven`t had a drink in like a month. Fucking Dangerous!

Weed? I smoked weed for a year, I couldn`t learn properly with it, so I stopped it easily. I smoke weed maybe once or twice a year now on occasions like a cigar. *fucking dangerous*

I smoke Tobacco every hour, i get flem, but I work and study with it and it helps me in some ways...my grandpa was a smoker he died of smoking at age 75 in his sleep from bronchitis.
Fucking Dangerous!

I took poppers around 3 times, every time 2 days after I took it I`d feel a burning sensation in my heart and a clotting sensation in my foot. Not dangerous at all...

Do a new study with more variables and hopefully invent some Mathematical Formula to determine how dangerous a drug is.

If Steroids were less dangerous than ciggs I`d be taking them.
Then I look at Mr.Universe of 1975 ...whos had all those heart attacks at a young age.

Tobacco lets you live your Life...most at the bottom Don`t Let you live your life normally. End of story.

^ Nothing like an unbiased comment to get things started.

First off, as was plainly stated in the video, an ordered list inherently has problems in representing the risks properly.

Secondly, because your experience as an individual conflicts with this study, you assume it`s wrong. I can tell you that however you would order this list, if you based it on your own personal experiences, it would be wrong. End of story.

Thirdy, part of what makes tobacco more dangerous, is availability, affordability and social acceptance. Sorry if those criteria don`t make your list of what constitutes a dangerous substance. And out of curiosity, how does your grandpa dying at 75 somehow change the 100,000+ tobacco deaths in the UK per year? Is this more factual data you`re bringing to the table?

The point is, don`t attack something that`s at least attempting to be unbiased with an ultra-biased response.
___

"Use of cocain in the UK is now as high as it is in America"

Made me laugh, since it appears that THIS is the sign for other countries that things have really gone to shit.

^Ha.

I am a strong supporter of the abolishment of drug laws in general, and have done most drugs mentioned here, and from my pov, drugs are bad, I am less healthy than someone that doesn`t drink, smoke, etc, but who cares, it`s my life and call it suicidal to do any drug, it doesn`t concern anyone but myself. I have medical insurance, paid in full every month, so I am not a cancer on the state, so just let me live, and don`t put me in jail if you find a little white powder in my pocket.

I dont see why Speed/Amphetamines was that much higher than Ecstasy or Methylphenidate. I dont see any evidence to justify that. Speed is more dangerous perhaps because it is sold by the gram and is not in tablet form - people mess up the their dosages. But that is not a reason to place it any higher.

I think that this list is the best list out there. Especially since it really does just state the facts. Yes, there will be variance`s between person to person, but thats basically what they said throughout the whole video.

Also very much enjoyed that Shrooms didnt even make the cut for the top 20. Also very happy where they placed LSD, I dont think i will smoke very much anymore though after watching this. I had no idea that Cannabis could even be as harmful as they had put it.

Very interesting 5/5

Great video, great comments. I didn`t see Crystal Meth in the list. I guess it didn`t make its way to Britain, yet. Then again, i`ve been "binge drinking" the entire time I watched this. 5/5
