Most dangerous drug known to man

[Jimmehboi]

Through all the chaos in this world, drugs seem to bear a lot of root-guilt to the problems. Mapping out the dangerous features of every drug will only bring you closer to realising that it is a two-sided debate, such as- "Does the blackmarket of illegal drugs have a worse effect than the health problems linked with the use of them?" Drugs are used throughout everyday life for many different uses, but why are some hard drugs illegal and some not? The most dangerous drug known to man has gained it's way into society through an unknown path, even though you might not know it, this drug kills more people every year through damage to the body than cannabis ever has, people younger than ever are misusing it regularly on a weekly basis. Alcohol allows the blood to involuntarily flow to the surface making you feel warm, when in cooler conditions, the blood is being cooled, and your internal organs will not be warm enough to function, you could die from hypothermia. I've not had much, I can still walk straight, I'll be fine. Alcohol damages inhibitions, your power to make appropriate decisions is compromised and alcohol is now and always has been the most used "date rape" drug in the UK. A great night out. Alcohol can make you very aggressive when large amounts are consumed and when mixed with the lack of inhibition, aggrovated attacks can burst out that otherwise wouldn't have occurred. I'm a social drinker. Hangovers can last up to 2 days if large amounts are consumed. With frequent usage, cirrhosis can occur (brain/liver damage). Alcohol is legal to buy, and take yet many other "hard" drugs that can be considered less dangerous aren't. Drinking small amounts can be helpful to lifestyles, but this is almost never the case on a night out. Your views? Jim.

Alcohol itself certainly isn't the most dangerous drug. There are more dangerous things that fuck you up much quicker. The problem is, if you take [# users] x [danger] then that's highest for alcohol and cigarettes. Those are the two major dangerous drugs of society right now. LSD, shrooms or cannabis are a joke in comparison. Something like H is another topic though.

There are more dangerous things that fuck you up much quicker. Is alcohol the worst drug to damage society? I meant it being the most dangerous to man because of it's effects to society But yea, you're right, alcohol and cigarettes are the worst, I sort of ignored cigarettes because of the way they don't have so much of a clear psychoactive effect like alcohol does.

only because it's the most used.

No, alcohol isn't the worst drug to damage society is. In fact, the problem isn't a drug at all, it's a behavior. Gluttony. Alcohol only gets you drunk and "totally hammered, dude!" when you drink excessively. THERE'S YOUR ANSWER.

In fact, the problem isn't a drug at all, it's a behavior. drugs seem to bear a lot of root-guilt to the problems. I didn't say every problem in the world revolves around alcohol No, alcohol isn't the worst drug to damage society is. What is then? Alcohol only gets you drunk and "totally hammered, dude!" when you drink excessively. ...and yea, because everyone knows that's the ONLY thing that happens through excessive drinking... jacobo: only because it's the most used. Yep. The problem of alcohol being misused is because it's so widely available and taken by almost everyone. But then, think about if alcohol didn't exist at all, think about if it was cannabis that was legal and was used by just the same amount of people. Do you the think cannabis would be as big a problem as alcohol is now? Cheers =] Jim.
