Topic: BOOZE and cigarettes are more harmful than LSD and cannabis

MAKE BOOZE & CIGS CLASSIFIED DRUGS'
They're rated worse than LSD
By Mike Swain, Science Editor

BOOZE and cigarettes are more harmful than LSD and cannabis, experts warned yesterday.

In excess, they can wreck health, destroy families and have a devastating effect on society.

And they should be classified among the top 10 most dangerous drugs, say anti-abuse campaigners.

A list drawn up for the Home Office rated alcohol as the fifth most hazardous - behind heroin, cocaine, barbiturates and street methadone.

Tobacco came ninth in the league table of 20 - well ahead of Ecstasy....

....

Top 20 danger drugs: 1 Heroin' 2 Cocaine' 3 Barbiturates' 4 Street Methadone' 5 Alcohol' 6 Ketamine' 7 Benzodiazepines' 8 Amphetamine' 9 Tobacco' 10 Buprenorphine' 11 Cannabis' 12 Solvents' 13 4-MTA' 14 LSD' 15 Methylphenidate' 16 Anabolic Steroids' 17 GHB' 18 Ecstasy' 19 Alkyl Nitrites' 20 Khat.

But unlike LSD or pot, they're NOT harmful to the spell of mass psychosis.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

When I attended high school, there would always be a group of people that say "drugs are bad" but would still drink and smoke, all the while looking down on those that did 'other drugs' - not to meantion that these people most likely frequent something in our society called a "DRUG STORE".  wink

I don't know how they figure pot is more harmful than LSD. LSD can do serious damage to your dome.

They seem to be forgetting that medical drugs are the real number one hazard to health and have probably maimed and killed many times more than all the rest put together.

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

Re: BOOZE and cigarettes are more harmful than LSD and cannabis

I don't know I think the ranking is pretty silly, with the exception of alcohol being very dangerous depending on the habit.

Cannabis is not dangerous at all to the health of the average consumer, but I believe it has been stated that pot will open up holes in your psychic/auric defense systems because of the common onset of paranoia. So, it may in fact be undermining the spiritual/metaphysical aspects of the body, but it still can be a fun time! tongue

Pure, non-additive tobacco is not as bad for you as packs put out by Big Tobacco. Edgar Cayce and C's advise that rolled, non-additive cigarettes won't do serious harm, and will help with blood circulation and metabolism.

LSD supposedly opens you up to 'the perceiver' experience, and will familiarize your ordinary perceptions with the sensations and phenomenon of timelessness, OBE, etc. Magic mushrooms are safer, and fun, though you might get sick. I have never tried LSD, so...

Too bad we still have the same, pointless war on drugs agenda being pushed onto everyone - as if people are actually keeping track of the ranks on the list, where as Ambien and designer drugs have the pleasure of being associated with happy sleepy faces! and butterflies!... landing on your pillow at night.... awww...

Q: (L) Whatchu know about that?
A: We know all about that.

".....experts warned......."

I just wonder who these "experts" are. Who pays them to be experts and what qualifies these alleged experts?

Also what factors are they considering to be "dangerous"? for example, Are you in more danger to yourself due to accessibility (i.e. harmful quantities easily obtained) or due to the harm you may inflict upon others as a result of your consumption? It's easy to see the level of "danger" would be hard to assess for your personal life situation without considering the factors not mentioned. There are plenty of resources available to make an informed decision as to risk vs. reward. Besides, what fun would it be if there wasn't any danger involved?

The good news is, since I consume alcohol, yet LSD and cannibis are far less harmful, I'm going to kick the booze and get stoned and fry on acid instead!

Yeah, recent research has indicated that it is radioactivity rather than tar that leads to lung cancer, polonium in particular, which becomes stuck to the sticky hairs under the tobacco leaf.  For some reason the researchers didn't bother to connect the fact that lung cancer suddenly appeared when tobacco companies began using radioactive toxic waste for fertilizer though.

This is also why tobacco use can lead to cancers in any part of the body rather than just areas touched by the smoke.

I can't find the original article I was thinking of, but this hits on similar points.

Re: BOOZE and cigarettes are more harmful than LSD and cannabis

Uh Oh, its the experts again, the ones that know everything about everything and want to control everything and everyone. So Orwellian.
Interesting.
Personally I don't care for cigs and find them quite offensive, but they also have been shown to have a warding influence with respect to extradimensionals, so maybe that plays a role in some aspect of the addiction. Alcohol, definitely toxic and dangerous when misused but also enjoyable in moderation and not without some benefits according to many other experts.

Thats why the ones that purport the purely Solar paradigm are false and out of balance, being swung to one pole as they are.
