Poll: what is the worst drug ?

[SpiderX]

I would say Meth for the fact it just makes people sketchy. I've never seen anyone smoke crack or do heroin tho.

 

[ryzmah]

Meth - it's cheap, easy to make, highly addictive, common (at least where I live), and the effects are horrible. Add to the fact that my brother is an addict and it was a contributing factor to him leaving his wife and kids.

11. Prohibition
12. Government

Hehe

Those caffeine drugs that you buy at Starbuck's; they're draining the economy.

I'd say crystal meth because the after effects are permanent afterwards. heroin is close to the top, but since you can successfully come off of it completely (I think)...meth gets a nudge up.

 

[stevens]

Weed shouldnt even be on that list.

i voted for Heroin because i know peopel who have died useing it.

i only smoke weed. cause IMO its not as bad for you as alachol and cigs. i have doen acid once wasent all that bad. i might do it again.. and i will most likely do shrooms sometime

 

[yobarman]

on the individual level, i vote for Heroin. Definately the most addictive and dangerous drug out there. It will f you up big time.

on the short-term social level... the vote goes to alcohol.. I love it but tragediues such as Drunk driving accidents and telling your g/f you slept with her sister can never be earased.

on the long-term social level... nicotine. it definately kills people gradually and lowers physical capability of people as a whole

 

[JetsFanatic]

looks like the polls results are in agreement with me

Heroin and meth for their effects, and alcohol for its widespread abuse.

PCP. Anyone has has seen a 'case' freak out on a doctor would agree.

No drug is bad, people's decisions are. That being said I voted crack . Although I've done it (in a dream of course) and it wasn't that bad.

Cocaine isn't that bad if you do it responsibily. It's a blast but the comedown kinda sucks.

I'm sure this thread will turn out lovely.

I think listing each seperate drug in the poll isn't the way to do it, it should be the "base" drug.. ie: amphetamine, opiate, etc..

You didn't list mushrooms(Not that I would vote for them, but..).

 

[WhiteKnight]

Well, I'm pretty clean but I love to eat so I had to vote food. I just hope that my youthful metabolism keeps up (I'm 22 now). I think that alcohol must be the worst drug for the population at large, as it affects so many people and imagine is abused more than any other drug.

 

[amnesiac]

Heroin.

Lost my brother to it last week.

Stronger than anything you can buy on the street.

- M4H

You kid, but it's quite easy to get a DXM (dextromethorphan, spelling?) high off of cough syrup. Robotussin has the highest concentration. One bottle is enough to do it.

 

[TwinkleToes77]

Crystal Meth.

 

[NuclearFusi0n]

Datura. I can't believe that's not on the list.

I snagged a 4 oz of Robo Max Strength cough for 354 mg of DXM HBr working out to a 2nd plateau trip for a 140 lb person.

I regret it.

 

[basara318]

personally i think coke is the worst just because my good friend was in rehab twice for that stuff. i have done it a few times and didnt think it was all that great tho. i guess it all boils down to self control and addictive personality

That's what I thought when I saw it.

I'm gonna stay outta this one I think, don't feel like getting into argument over it. Too many people here who have the instant "drugs are bad" mindset to argue with. That's ok, believe what ya want.

 

[Eli]

I voted for Crack Cocaine, but on second thought.. I agree with the poll results.. heroin is pretty bad also.

 

[NuclearFusi0n]

Heroin is OK, but it does tend to screw with people, mainly because Heroin is usually cut with _____ (anything, really) and stuff like that in your veins = big no no.

That, and a lack of safe injection sites is pretty sad.

 

[mpitts]

Heroin, with crack being 2nd
