    • The 20 Most Dangerous Drugs

      A study done by Lancet listed down the 20 Most Dangerous Drugs in Britain and ranks Heroin as number 1, followed by Cocaine, and these other drugs Barbiturates, Street methadone, Alcohol, Ketamine, Benzodiazepines, Amphetamine, Tobacco, Buprenorphine, Cannabis, Solvents, 4-MTA, LSD, Methylphenidate, Anabolic steroids, GHB, Ecstasy, Alkyl nitrates, Khat.

      However, this documentary presents a different ranking, and its basis is on the level of harm it can cause. With leading scientists spending to years to study each drug’s composition and effect, the new list, ranked scientifically, is raising some controversial issues. What has been the result of the classification and what has emerged as the number drug in Britain?

      The documentary also delves on the headlines, as part of its research in order to answer questions like — How do the brain and body react to each stimulant as it passes into the bloodstream, and what are the long-term effects of drugs relative to their classification?

      The truth of the matter is, any type of addiction to drugs can be dangerous, unless the person willingly gets into rehab. This documentary is an eye-opening piece that everyone should watch and learn from.

    • what?

      so apparently they dont have crystal meth in the uk? i cant think of anythign worse and more dangerous, and on the rare occasion anybody ever gets off it they arent ever capable of feeling pleasure ever again

    • Vitaloverdose

      lolol… what total bullshit! If drugs fucked everyone up who took them there wouldnt be a market now would there?
      The people who tell us that 'drugs' are dangerous are the same idiots who try to tell us the MSG ,Aspertame and fluoride are safe !!!

    • vitaloverdose

      Crystal meth isnt half as bad as the government makes out. The reason they say its the most dangerous drug in the world is simply because its the easiest to make from household chemicals. Its the no1 threat to the Cocaine industry because you dont have to import it ,its cheaper and lasts longer.
      Crystal meth doesnt not 'break' the part of your brain that regulates dopamine. Those pictures that are on the net about 'faces of meth' are due to people not washing or brushing their teeth, thats got nothing to do with the drug. These people are slobs and mingers!

      I really don't know what to make of such comments on this documentary. One should educate themselves on crystal meth and the drugs they speak about. I really dont know how someone possibly could argue that crystal meth will not destroy you. I find it quite frightening that anyone would defend harsh drug use unless you are a user you has not quite hit rock botton. These scientist stuck to the facts.

    • gods herb

      i really cant see how marijuana is more dangerous than extacy and lsd!! like u scientists say that if you have the inclination of schizophrenia pot will make u crazy well what if u take acid or extacy?? i think someone with such an inclination would seriously go crazy!! iv been smoking pot for 10 years done most drugs on the list ive stopped them all except sweet cannabis and ive done so for some years now!! finished my degree did a masters in law and i now work for a top company in my field!! as a ex user (i wouldnt even consider cannabis as a drug)i would definitely asses the drugs in a different order based on the three criteria the scientists used!! il name the biggest difference in my opinion always!!
      in order to make a sound assessment u have to consider the harm to society as a whole on this notion i cant accept that a drug with 116,000 deaths p/y(tobacco) is less dangerous than one that kills 700 i.e. heroin! and a drug that causes 116,000 deaths is surely more harmful to society than the one that causes 700! also i noticed that the death ratio of tobacco compared to heroin is higher lol 0.0116% of tobacco users will die compared to 0.0021212% of heroin users thats almost 5 times less % of dying!! so we see the harm on the individual here compared to society as a whole and tobacco is more dangerous to the individual than heroin (scientists numbers always)!! in addition when 10,000,000 people use tobacco we can see how many people start the drug in comparison to the 330,000 users of heroin! as said(by scientists in documentary) nicotine is more addictive than heroin so this is ur third factor in considering that tobacco is more dangerous to society than heroin!! i believe what only 1 person said on the documentary and that is that the illegality of drugs is more dangerous than the actual drugs are themselves to society! on this notion i dont believe tobacco should become illegal but rather that we should regulate all drugs and what we save from fighting them give to educating our children!! i would rather have a government regulated facility providing drugs under a set of rules than giving the distribution to organized crime and the mafia that will sell to anyone who pays even 10 year old babies!!!

      I come from what's known as the meth capital of the world, the central valley of California. I've had quite extensive experience with many types of drugs and I can honestly tell you that meth is *the* most dangerous. No drug can take over your life as easily and immediately. It takes over your brain, makes you crazy. You can no longer tell the difference between right and wrong, judgment is completely gone.

      So many of my friends have had their lives ruined by and I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I only used it once, and I didn't become addicted to it, but this is largely unheard of. Horrible horrible substance. Stay away from it.

      As for the "faces of meth" comment, even though meth does in fact have an effect on facial muscles, and weight loss due to meth use can make the face appear drawn and gaunt, the comment that they don't wash or brush their teeth is a generalization and really quite asinine, if you'll excuse me. The drug does significant damage to the mouth and teeth. And even if a meth user doesn't wash, it's most likely because they don't care about it….because they use meth. A lot of things go by the wayside, and bathing can definitely be one of them.

      Ech. I don't have more to say. My point is that meth is a very serious and dangerous substance and you'd be very wise to never touch it.

    • CBat

      E: If it can kill you at all it shouldn't be lower than things that absolutely can not.

      Weed: Since I don't know anybody that's main-lined T.H.C. syrup, and since they also used Reefer Madness footage, I'm going to call that 50% propaganda.

      Otherwise I found it informative.

    • Anonymous

      Marijuana is essentially harmless. A correlation been shown between marijuana use in psychosis prone individuals and psychosis. This means nothing, until there is a proper experiment done.

      I love lsd

    • Anonymous

      Though passionate and informed about their professions, these scientists seem to be unaware of meth. That is, by far, the most dangerous drug- and I have seen this drug destroy far too many lives.

      The difference is that while if is possible to eventually recover from a heroin or cocaine addiction, the chemistry of meth litterally destroys the ability to feel pleasure at all- and it is the hardest addiction to recover from because for up to a year after having been clean, the pain centers of the brain are constantly stimulated in the absense of the drug. It is difficult to say what happens after the year mark, because most users go back to the drug. Even with help, recovery rates do not get much better than 10%.

      Please stay away from this drug- it will kill you. End of story.

      Please do some more research into the brain chemistry of methamphetamine. It really is as bad as the government says- and not just becasue of its availability.

    • patrick murphy

      simple taxonomic listing of the relative dangers of the commonest drugs; should be in every home for teen reference….

    • patrick murphy

      Yes! The obvious boo-boo here is the missing methamphetamine/crystal/ice which should be at N0.2 after H. It will very quickly trash any architecture/construction for living one might have…

    • Ron

      As the others have said, Crystal meth should be in the top 3 without a doubt. This might indicate that Europe doesn't have the meth problem the US does. I don't know why else they would simply ignore it. I would personally rank it higher on this list than H. I've known junkies that can still operate semi normally, but methheads are literally insane and have no real focus or drive besides meth. Staying up for a month at a time, crashing for days on end. Really sad, disastrous stuff. I used meth a few times, but never that much and I never bought it or sought it out, it just seemed like problems would arise if I did. Overall though this is a more coherent approach to the relative dangers of drugs than most gov't use. Drug fun fact: Heroin was marketed by the Bayer company in the early 1900's as a children's cough suppressant. It made you feel "heroic". Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

    • imran

      heroine is defenetly the queen of drugs . very addictive abd trully the end of the road.
      dont agree with khat being one though , it is relly just a plant with zylonic effect (marginal)

    • a fan in reply to mr. Good Herb

      I would like to say what's on everybody's mind, mr Herb. I would like to point out that you are not someone who has tried out most drugs out there, nor do you have the intelligence of someone who is capable of getting a degree of any type, let alone one in law.

      Furthermore let me access your persona based on what you wrote, I believe I have enough. For someone who should be smart, you don't seem to have the time to type out full words, use correct grammar, or punctuation.

      Now for the level of intelligence, you say and I quote
      "In order to make a sound assessment u have to consider the harm to society as a whole on this notion i cant accept that a drug with 116,000 deaths p/y(tobacco) is less dangerous than one that kills 700 i.e. heroin!"

      It doesn't take a rocket scientist, or any sort of academic to realise that your logic is incredibly flawed and here's why. Tobacco is less dangerous because if heroin was AS used as tobacco it would fit perfectly on that chart, i.e. being the most dangerous drug.

      I have to admit I don't know many big time law graduates wasting their time on the internet (although this is a very educational site), voicing their opinion, where very few people would read it and fewer will care.

      I can assure you that cannabis does have psychotic effects from long term use, however I consider myself fortunate that I haven't damaged my life further. It certainly isn't dangerous but since it's most widely popular among teens, along with the effects it may have, that makes it a very dangerous drug indeed.

      Just my two cents.

    • Þórður

      A reply to "a fan in reply to mr. Good Herb"

      I really don't think it's fair to base the danger level of drugs to how much is being used of them at any given moment.
      Usage of drugs varies from user to user and on each drug by itself.

      I mean if people just went out for a relaxing snort or shot of heroin in their lunch breaks it wouldn't exactly be a functional world now would it?

      The fact is that more people die from smoking tobacco than heroin and "flawed logic or not". this is what he was pointing out and also just his 2 cents.

      And just by saying something like "if it were" and "it would" doesn't prove your point.
      (pointing out grammar mistakes doesn't either)
      People have been debating tobacco vs. drugs since (probably) before you were born, so thinking you can summaries and conclude the argument in a comment on the internet kind of makes you a "bit dumb" doesn't it?

      Besides the simple point that every culture has its outlet, for us Icelanders it is alcohol and it was mead and mushrooms, some nations had wine while others had ganja.
      1.Over consumption of anything is unhealthy,
      2.You don't have to be a drug addict to take drugs,
      3.You don't have to be an alcaholic just because you drink,
      &
      4. Categorizing everything into tiny atoms is both pointless and useless.

      feel free access my persona based on what I wrote, lol, but keep in mind that english is my second language.

      This is lame, UK consider mushrooms as class A drug. mushrooms has been used world wide for thousand of years. just because some people are irresponsible or can't tell the different, this beutiful thing should dissaloud?
      The people who take it don't harm others and don't harm themselves.. yes it is possible that an hidden mantel sickness will burst, anyway it will burst in couple of years when this person have a family and his childrens life to ruin.
      recent studies report of the many long time and long lasting benefits after using this great medicin.

    • viisasperse

      I've never met anyone from Iceland who would think the english language is only spoken by the native speakers in UK or US, for example, but this seems to be quite common belief in the US. There is actually such a thing as speaking english as a "second language". Maybe this is an unknown term for you in states.
      My english is quite bad and it just gets worse all the time, maybe due to other languages I'm trying to learn. If you have a degree, you'll probably understand my point anyway

    • Piltonbadger

      I have over ten friends who suffer mental illness as a result of smoking too much skunk; ranging from axiety to high doses of medication and psycological counselling.

      Some are more succeptible than others. Just because you haven't suffered ill effects doesn't mean others don't or you never will ;)

    • PatrickRyanTait

      umm well the level on which cannavis is placed shouldn't really apply in the united states because in the uk the thc level is much higher than in the us. also i am severely disapointed that the test where they tried to see if cannabis brought out psychotic symptoms only used thc because thc is not the only thing that gets you "high" there is about 80 different cannibinoids that produce the unique "high" of cannabis. On another note it is usually found in studies that people who suffer from psychotic symptoms usually have a family history of mental illness and use cannabis as a self remedy.

      1. you didnt even take the time to read his name right so how can we take what your saying seriously.
      2. how do you now if he has taen most drugs? you don't
      3. how can you assure us that cannabis brings in psychotic symptoms? you have no proof.
      4. i do agree with you on the point of if heroin was used as much as tobacco it would be horrible
      5. how many big time law graduates do you know? and why wouldnt they be on this site, this film directly relates to their field: the law
      just my two cents

    • cid

      uhh…i see meth on the list. no. 8 amphetamines. correct me if i'm wrong, but meth is considered an amphetamine, right? i honestly think it should be alot higher on the list, but theres still people i've read that have said its not on the list at all.

    • your mother

      meth is methamphtamine

    • one

      #1 should be Meth right close to Heroin. that i do know

    • jamie

      crystal meths isn't really a big problem in the UK it's rarely seen

    • James

      I think this is a load of propaganda.
      they have used inconclusive and in some cases non-existent evidence and known propaganda in some cases to make they're case.
      And how can a drug known to kill over 100 000 per year be less dangerous then one that kills none?
      No logic here.
      Reality is ANYTHING used in excess is not good.

    • James

      Where is your evidence mr intelligent?
      People jumping on how folks spell, or use punctuation on the net are very simply IDIOTS…people don't feel the need to be absolutely correct in they're spelling online because its a general consensus that we all know and understand internet lingo. So don't use that stuff to try and poke holes in peoples ideas because it just shows your own lack of common sense and reasoning.
      I've smoked weed for medical reasons for almost 30 years now, I DO have 2 degrees although I currently work in neither field. I did both degrees while smoking everyday. this whole psychosis thing is nothing more then propaganda, there is no real evidence, never has been and most likely never will be because when they truly study cannabis fairly and reasonably the evidence ALWAYS suggest it might do more good then harm.
      Do your homework before spewing and showing you don't know what your talking about.

    • allisson

      Unless you have researched or even tried these drugs out, i dont think you can critisize thier placement. Weed shouldnt even be on there. Its legal in many states now, including mine for pain!!!! Alchahol should be number 4. Atleast. Yet, its legal : ( Meth should be around 2. Unless you have seen or known someone who was truly a addict, you have no idea what it does. And here in america, especially rural america its hitting hard. Its affects are sad. It makes hard working people insane and unrecognizeable. litterally. People high up Like lawyers even turn out homeless and crazy from the drug. I liked this documentary, and i think we should all thank tim s. If im correct. Notice the rehab ad right above the first video? thats funny, and smart at the same time. anyone wanna go? looks like a resort!!!

    • allisson

      thank you james. You spelled it out for us all. Hopefully some will read, and understand. But ignorance is like a trend.

    • josho

      amphetamine and methamphetamine are pretty much exactly the same and meth does fall under the amphetamine category. effects are pretty much the same, except meth is abit more intense and kicks in faster, which makes it more addictive.
      the only difference in the chemical makeup is meth is methylated and therefore water soluble, hence it kicks in faster. apparently apart from that theres no difference and methamphetamine breaks down into amphetamine once its ingested.

      this is all fact

    • Ted Kelly

      Josho,

      I see that you can look at the raw data and make an assumption aout these two drugs, but you are way off. eth and X are very differet in the same way that endogenous phenethylamine and meth are related. One is found in the body, naturally, and the other is a horrible drug. Sometimes similarities are misleading. As well, addictiveness has not been established for MDMA as it has for Meth. Therefore, no comparison can be made.

    • chantalN

      Check out this doc here on this website, "Should I Smoke Dope?"…it debunks the myths and stereotypes assosciated with marijuana use as well as the history behind the prohibition and criminalization of pot/hemp in north america. I have used pot for 20yrs or more now on a pretty regular basis….and hmmmmm….still not psychotic…and none of the pot smokers that I know, who smoke for various reasons/lengths of time, are either. In fact by enlarge, most of the pot smokers that I have ever met are usually the complete opposite of that. Being that I am from British Columbia, I have met A LOT of smokers…lol….and the majority are law abiding, tax paying, productive, active members of society. It is amazing how good government propaganda can brainwash an entire society.
      Meth should have been number 1 on that list in my opinion, I agree with Allisson that the effects on users is something that really has to be seen and experienced to truly be understood.

    • theviewer

      Some of this doc makes good sense to me. Some of it does not. I think I speak for alot of people when I say that the placement of Marijuana on this list is ABSURD. As many others have already commented, too much of anything is indeed bad for you… but c'mon, now… GHB and injecting steriods is less dangerous than smoking grass? That's just foolish.

    • hmm

      Wheres panadol and asprin and other sorts on the list? heaps of people od from panadol even using it medicinally way too many people take that shit and nobody really cares that its doing more damage than good it only masks pain and creates more problems the pain is still very much there. all of the legal medicinal drugs are by far the worst.

      pretty lame imo

    • hmm

      not to mention the stuff in the food and water…

    • Karl

      They also forgot "the Opium of the people".

    • alcohol…

      Why doesn't anyone make any comments to the fact that alcohol is placed at no. 5?

      And why doesn't anyone get furious about them saying if it was introduced today it would been ranked as a A?

      Because it is right?

    • splizzy

      where was opium and it's such a shame they through crack in the same basket as cocaine. I'm not saying cocaine is safe but it's obvious that people who have only snorted cocaine have not developed the same level dependence as those who had tried crack. i would also not through ghp in behind cannabis, you have to almost double your dose every time you do it leading to fatal consequences very quickly

    • lara

      Ok so, iv read some of what you have wrote about smoking cannabis first i stared smoking when i was 13 years old and have taken a lot of other drugs like LSD, E, amphetamine, i do not have a family background in mental illness
      and at the age of 24 i stopped smoking weed every night while studying at uni and went without smoking for 6 mouths or longer, up to a year the, ill smoke then for about a couple of weeks then stop. in this time my memory was bad so this was why i gave up, then i found i could not get a job with my degree and got depress over a year,then i stared smoking again from boredom, in this time i got psychosis (A bad nightmare that you can not wake up from, for three mouths. when i was made to take the drug that helped me stop this nightmare and end this knowing that up to 6 mouths my illness can come back and what a poor life it will be if it did and I'll be better of dead then go though this again, for two years to get my conference back to what it was too not look over my shoulders of the signs, that a voice or sound or what a see is real. i ask myself was it the drugs? i agree whit what the docs are saying but the drugs they are testing are pure the streets are not also what is in are food like aspartame. But i would say who knows until more test are done, but there is a increase of mental illness or are we taking about it more. with my illness LSD would have been very bad to take, so no test they are messed up as it is. please make are mental health better with after care counselor, not someone who make sure you take your drug and tell you "that they don't have a magic wand." when you ask will it come back. so will i take drugs again? No way…

    • o.k

      @lara
      who gives a crap abut your boring story. if drugs don't suite you then don't do it. don't try going convincing people "drugs are bad". it is all relative and personal!

      and please don't share personal stories from your life to prove a general point.. lame!

    • Gino Donohue

      I will be going into a rehab within the next 2 weeks. I am willing to expose all the danger and hustle of the drug trade if you feel that a documentary is worth it – which I believe it is. I've been hooked on heroin and xanax and want to impart my knowledge because if I was aware of this knowledge I never would've gotten to where I am. As far as I'm concerned, this knowledge needs to be out there so many people could see the truth. I've been pummmelled, stabbed and I'm very lucky to be alive today – all for drugs. It is a worthwhile documentary that hopefully will save lives. Again,I have a bout 2 weeks to work on this with u.

    • Romão

      It's amazing that even in sites of knowledge like this one, the comments can be as absurd as the ones on youtube.

      Who knows the most, who spells better, who can make the wittiest jokes… And of course the lack of respect between the commenters.

      You people don't know anything… I don't know anything, there is rarely anything you can be absolutely sure of, not now and not ever… There is no "this is a fact" thing that can work as a valid argument…

      And THIS is the strongest concept shown in ALL of these documentaries.

      All this ignorant replying to one another just shows how limited and weak you all are. For what? What advantages do you people have on fighting for something you don't know?
      Wake up…

    • Gilwing

      VERY suspicious of this "documentary". I am not a scientist but when I was watching the section on cannabis they actually said at least one person dies from it per year in the UK. Which I know is false. No one in the history of our species in any culture has ever been recorded to have overdosed (let alone to have died) from cannabis. This is a basic fact that anyone doing a study of the 20 most dangerous drugs should know. For me this casts the entire documentary into doubt. Even the US who are strongly opposed to cannabis use admit there are no deaths due to its use. In the end I can handle bad news but not bad science.

    • entv

      I just hate when people that havn't smoked cannabis on a regular basis, start commenting and trying it once and say that it has a negative effect.

      And yeah, the 1 death is pure bullshit.

    • Alison

      @ Gilwing
      "I can handle bad news but not bad science" is a great line, and one that I am using from now on.

      "A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response."

    • Ariel

      Having smoked a lot of cannabis, I understand where you're coming from but have to disagree. The truth is, there are a tremendous amount of brain cells that are killed with each "session". This is why you'll notice a difference in articulation, motivation and slight memory loss.
      Having said that, I do feel that cannabis is one of the least harmful substances that people self induce and there is no way that it is as much of a "gateway" drug as alcohol. Booze not only effects articulation, motivation and memory loss but it also has a strong negative effect on eyesight, balance, motor skills, and steals ones ability to make thought out decisions. Someone that is drunk is more likely to do hard drugs than someone who is high….they're more likely to stay home and eat all the contents of their fridge!

    • Kerri

      Some of my boyfriend's family members are drug addicts, his family also has a history of mental illness (bipolar, depression, schizo). When some of his siblings began taking illegal drugs in their teens, they became psychotic. These drugs are made illegal for a reason, some people are PRONE to becoming wasted members of society after taking them. Of course, it's not going to affect everyone in exactly the same way.

      Weed can have a detrimental affect on some, more so than others. My boyfriend's siblings are perfect examples – wasted, paranoid, lazy and violent members of society who use pot everyday. My boyfriend was the only one in his family who didn't touch drugs (white sheep of the family), he became a lawyer and a millionaire. He knows if he ever touches any type of addictive drugs, he'll end up like them.

      yeah about your poor misguided life. you need to take responsibility for your choices you made for your own life by saying if you would of known what drugs would do to your life you wouldn't be where you are today you are coping out of your responsibility for your actions grow up and quit passing responsibility elsewhere at blaming others. oh also quit lieing to yourself and everybody on this site about you going to rehab. if you were ready to quit you would and if you were going to rehab. you would of been there not here crying & lieing to the world about ur poor life. ur addicted to poor me not drugs.
