  • nah man, lb vs lb this isn't the right list... for example...

    1 lb of meth can kill more people than 1 lb of alcohol

  • so what they're saying is.....shrooms are fine!

  • they just quickly skimmed over crack. i feel it's much more destructive than heroin, a much stronger high and about as moreish but obviously less addictive.

  • they just quickly skimmed over crack. i feel it's much more destructive than heroin.

    And a much stronger high.

  • i'm not from the u.k., but is meth not a big enough problem to be recognized there?

  • heroin prices: 10-20 a bag.... wtf is a bag supposed to be? I can buy bags that would prolly fit pounds of heroin and I can also buy bags barely big enough to hold what I imagine would be a few grams.

  • LOL this is wat we study in school. its really fun cause we watch and learn but hardly do any ritin yea and also we learn bout drugs and stuff.

  • [offtopic] did anyone check their cellphone in silent mode? (the buzzing sound)

  • We have always sought to alter our consciousness and will continue to do so.

    But I think also there are people who are not content, not happy and thats when drugs like heroin can give you that content, warm and happy feeling. In those situations nothing else does that.

    I think the problems are with our social structure where people can be so poor they are forgotten about and opportunities are few. We need a more proactive education system to cope with the social diversities.

  • "Rather than forbid, we need to educate"

  • @Atmost11:It's not disinformation to tell the truth. Alcohol is legal probably because it was used by huge religions, and is therefore a "social" drug. Fact is, alcohol, in particular the binge drinking culture occurring today, has more dangerous potential than other drugs.

    You give the impression that you just looked at a law book and checked the sentencing procedures for illegal drugs.You War on Drugs supporters amaze me. Most of my family is dead from LEGAL cigs, campaign against them.

  • what about phencylodine and meth?

  • I am in favor of peace and working toward common goals between people who like Ecstasy and people who like Marijuana. I am happy that Ecstasy is getting recognized as pretty safe - like Marijuana.

    But, you wont convince anyone that Marijuana is supposedly dangerous, by telling people that it supposedly harms society, this is refer madness. And this documentary does not fully disclose at all the dangers of inhalants and some of the other drugs it claims are safer than marijuana.

  • i am an addict......... my drug is pussy :)

  • @iuriSalvador very expensive addiction......fuckin cunts

  • Nothing in life should be illegal. Everything in some way is bad for you, if you ate lots of chocolate you get fat and could die. Same as drug.

  • Ummm....Meth?

  • @HellsBells091 Maybe in America, but this is a british study on drug use in britain

  • Dude Heroin turns your brain into a pinball machine!

  • The only drug I take is love :D

    But seriously Im so fucking high right now, this program makes me feel less guilty about it.

  • thumbs up if you thought the stimulant drug he was talking about, was going to be meth

  • Yeah, I'm really surprised that methamphetamine isn't on this list. I suppose its usage isn't as high in Britain as it is in the US, therefore the scientists didn't choose to include it in their assessment? idk

  • @firebreeze

    True, its the same with PCP becuase pcp and meth are so uncommon they bloody forgot to put them in the list whcih is really dangerous as someone may not have a clue and try them thinking their less harmful than weed or something.

    Also people crack and cocaine should definietly not be on the same title, crack is a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL than coke, much much worse for you.

  • @firebreeze methamphetamine is close related to amphetamine & sometimes one is sold as the other

  • @EkamSat1 I'm aware of the fact that it's related to amphetamine (I think it's kind of implied by its name) but I've never heard of one being sold as the other. What I am aware of is the so-called meth epidemic within the US among younger users, and I conjectured that Britain has yet to face the same sort of issue with that drug.

  • @firebreeze that whole "meth epedemic" is a very big exxageration.

    most harm done by meth occurs at heavy to chronic use. so even though addiction will show massive harm it's mostly due to almost no sleep or food and chronic high levels of dopamine. while anything below 2-weekly use isnt nearly as harmfull as though/told.

    also addiction potention isnt near 100% as usually told but 8~13% wich is slightly lower then coke.

    so no, its not death in crystal form, and thus placed at 6

  • @Trisscarro Hmm, fair enough. I did use the term "so-called epidemic", because I don't know how much of it is exaggeration.

    But I'm not sure what you mean by 6? Methamphetamine isn't on the list at all. Amphetamines are, but again, while they're related they're still distinctly different things.

  • @firebreeze If you include methamphetamine, you can start including every possible variation of amphetamines separately, and they'd basically have to make a new list just for all those chemically related designer drugs.

  • @EkamSat1 Yes, I'm aware it's related to amphetamine, but there's a wide gulf between the long-term effects of meth versus something like benzedrine. Methamphetamines can distinguish themselves from the amphetamines quite significantly enough that you wouldn't need to "include every possible variation". That's like saying cocaine shouldn't be on the list because people still make infusions of the coca leaves, or smoke the coca-paste.

  • how is crystal meth not on here at all

  • Since when is Cocaine is dangerous?

  • @singer098890 since it came out

  • @Duudeer I call bullshit

  • @singer098890 They also assessed the threat to society to a high degree in making their assessment.

  • Since when is Cocaine is dangerous?

  • Then whats the rank for methamphetamine?

  • What about meth and pcp? Inhalants safer than marijuana? Inhalants safer than alcohol - even. Why is X so great? Isnt the dehydration complication serious? Hey GHB is only slightly less safe than X so lets do it instead of marijuana. This is misinformation that can hurt people, how stupid, if one person thinks inhalants are safer and chooses inahalants over beer. .

  • @Atmost11 they rank the drugs just by harm done to the individual but by all harm done. less users means less total harm, and if users do less hamr to society it also means less total harm. a lower ranking on the scale means a lower problem to society not the drug itself doing less hamr to oyur body.

    also seeing out of 3 million users only 22 die i would say the dehydration complication isnt serious.

    this isnt misinformation but minunderstanding due to lack of attention.

  • 3 million users and only 22 die?? How about, WAY more marijuana users and zero of them die. The video did not even mention that people die as a result of dehydration. How many were hospitalized if 22 died?

    What harm to society? Marijuana isnt harmful, so what if its on a large scale, production distribution and consumption are not automatically bad things just because its on a large scale.

  • @Atmost11 maybe you should fucking read before you type out bullshit,

    the 22 deaths of MDMA ARE due to dehydration/hyperthermia.

    mariuana doesnt do much physical harm doesnt mean its completely harmless. and because the individual isnt experiencing harm it doesnt mean it doesnt hinder society.

    but who am i kidding, you just want weed to be legal and you see it as the holy grass given by the gods to cure the world. so you'll start telling people every other drug is bad no matter how its used.

  • @Atmost11 also people have been hospitalized because of (MASSIVELY) high consumption of weed.

    i'm not against weed but i am ahgaisnt people like you.

    weed isnt the only fucking drug that can be used without much harm occuring. drugs arent good or bad they're just more or less dangerous.

    car accidents are more dangerous and frequent then cycle addicents, but are cars bad and cycles good?

    should powertools be banned because they cause serious injuries? cleaning agents? kitchen knifes?

    drugs?

  • @Atmost11 If you see it that way you are really missing the point.. this list does not say: its better to take e than to drink beer, this just just based on science and the conditions what makes a drug dangerous are explained in part 1. they made a list of harm... ACCORDING TO THIS RESEARCH, AND THESE CONDITIONS. its not 'safer' or 'better' to use one drug over the other.

  • Inhalants being ranked as less dangerous than marijuana, is nonsense, inhalants cause serious damage, I met a guy who did inhalants before.

    Marijuana is merely being produced, transported, distributed, and consumed - those arent problems in themselves. Marijuana is safe, everyone knows it, so if you try to tell someone that inhalants are safer THAN THAT, you are deceiving people in a way that could hurt people.

  • @Atmost11 In england we don't have meth and pcp

  • wizza is not crystal meth!

  • What about paracetamol? I mean '"if you take an overdose, you are very likely to die!" And that is about as true as the US government's involvement in 9/11.

    True! Maybe? Hmm. Research, maybe?!

  • Jesus Christ! Who would've believed that Cocaine & Heroine would've been the most dangerous drugs around!? Damn I would've thought alcohol & tobacco would've been worse really? Quite a surprise, honestly?! Hmmm! What a revelation!

  • 04:46 a 1-3 hour orgasm?! holy shit! yeah i can see why that would be addicting =)

  • what about meth?

  • @metalwaffle94 It's not really on the UK drug scene much I don't think,.

  • lol it shows lorazepam during the section on barbiturates

  • Hey cmon, Heroin never hurt my record collection!

  • biased video, placing ectasy lower than cannabis?

    What are you smoking? Weed is probably the most harmless drug that has ever existed. Ranking well below opiates, cocaine, alchohol or any other synthesized drug.

    And giving someone injected thc isn't the same as smoking it.

  • whatever say say-crack is way rougher to kick than smack

  • @fetischterranova how do you know?

    If we had a crystal meth problem in britain it would be number 1 on this list.

  • @STOPTHEEU yeah that true, i was wondering why methy amphetamine did not come up on the list.

  • @STOPTHEEU yeah that true, i was wondering why methy amphetamine did not come up on the list. then again pseudoephiderine and ephedrine products sales are controlled so that probably why it not that much of a problem

  • @STOPTHEEU do you really want to know?

  • @STOPTHEEU BEEN THERE

  • @fetischterranova You've lost me

  • @fetischterranova stimulants dont even have much of a physical withdrawal, heroin will leave you in a puddle of vomit and feces

  • why was hash omitted from this?

  • this documentary has no credibility! Based on their own criteria of addictiveness and deaths, tobacco should have been number one. Secondly, crack and cocaine should not be judged together. Obviously crack is more dangerous and cocaine would not have fallen to number two on its own!

  • @babyfishez

    tobacco doesn't kill anyone, cancer does.

  • haha lol

    

  • haha lol

  • E has got to be the most over rated drug that is on the class A league and is by far my favourite lol,i wonder what number Mephedrone(4MMC) would be on this list cos once again the media propaganda and the government keeps brainwashing bullshit. ive had meow many,many times and tbh its not addictive at all but is it really that bad? healthwise?

  • Best decision of my life was deciding not to use any substance anymore for any reason whatsoever. I learned to get much more pleasure out of the simple things in life. Of course I'm not forcing others to take the same course, but it works for me and my family, and thats enough for me.

  • interesting documentary one that doesn't play by the usual standard , I have tried cannabis and like most people was around it at a young age i first smoked it when i was 14 and i never really got hooked and it never done anything for me , i drink once a week and am a social smoker i probably average smoking a 10 deck a week , and very rarely i have cocaine maybe about 3-4 times a year on special occasions just for the buzz and if im honest i love cocaine n booze as long as ur in control its ok

  • @LongLiveTheBlues What about heroin?

  • @4inches4u lol i dont touch heroin ,crack,meth or that dirty shit . i only like smoking , drinking and occasionally snorting coke lol as long as your in control and your not doing it everyday than having it in consideration i think its fine.

  • Meth should be no. 2 and weed definitely shouldn't be higher on the list than GHB and ecstasy. Also, how the hell did angel dust miss the list?

  • @18daniel No one uses PCP anymore.

  • they've obviously never heard of angel dust

  • Comment removed

  • all drugs are crap but should all be legal.

  • Comment removed

  • Meth Amphetamine is so much more detrimental to society than anything else. Maybe because this is a British study, but in Western USA it is ABSOLUTELY the number one most dangerous drug!

  • @CheerleaderGirl49 Western USA, very ture, here on the east coast most people never even heard of it

  • who the fuck smokes heroin?? people smoke opium but not heroin. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IDIOTS

  • @420grower420

    what are you on about... of course people smoke heroin... most people start off smoking... but its to expensive and doesnt last as long so they start injecting

  • @420grower420 most people start off smoking heroin in the UK

  • if we legalized ever drug would it become as popular as drinking>>>pls discuss

  • Does this mean herion is the best drug? #1?...I agree

  • meth?

  • the number 1 drug is world of warcraft otherwise known as WoW.. it

  • So where would Psilocybin shrooms rate? They didn't even make the list!

  • @bigpotatofive

    Mushrooms.... are a plant just like weed... as long as you dont eat the poisonous ones... its not even bad,

  • @Jmhawks

    Right, but there are risks with weed, like any drug. Smoking is never good for the lungs and weed is known to worsen schizophrenia. And I've known people who have gotten into accidents while driving high. Of course, these effects are much milder than alcohol or harder drugs, but they are risks nonetheless. But what are the physical or psychological risks of shrooms? Are they in any way toxic?

  • @bigpotatofive

    Yeah I think they are slightly toxic.. some people get stomach pains but I don't think it's anything too bad.

  • @Jmhawks

    Do you think that they aren't listed here because they just aren't as dangerous in general? Or they aren't as common in the UK?

  • @bigpotatofive

    I'm not sure really but UK is definetly one of the biggest users of pyslocynin mushrooms becuase they are everywhere.

  • @Jmhawks

    Interesting. I don't really know about whats common in the UK in terms of drugs being stateside myself. Thanks for the info!

  • smoke weed everday!

  • @dirtdemon6 YEAAAAAHHHH buddy!!!!

  • that list is fucked up, lsd and cannabis should be at least somewhere above 15

  • meth,ice,Yaba,Bhul Bhuliya,Shabu,Chocaleee,Nazi speed,is a big problem in thailand and us

  • heroin is amazing

  • Ching is over rated man. Feel good for half an hour.

    Wanker powder

  • "Rather than forbid we need to educate" -the smartest comment on drugs I've ever heard.

  • @andrejvidovic1 that just stupid

  • 8:13 wtf? lol

  • why dont you just follow what gods said in all his books instead of going to try inventing new laws and regulations... Its already forbidden !!!!

    I am a witness that there is no president but god and no master and ruler but him . I cant believe how blind people have become.. why dont you come back to god and submit to his rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • @MegaLoody why dont you shove a bible up your ass and get fucked?

  • @MegaLoody Successful troll is successful.

  • thats Lifeline needle exchange in Manchester. I know that hatch well. lol

  • You take heroin?

  • @StonedIDemon I've had two heroin habbits in the past am on subutex now.

  • tobacco and alcohol should be #1 and #2. If you add up the #deaths, #users, and financial cost to society from the other 18 drugs they don't even come close to these two by themselves.

  • @youlance29 watch the first video it says how everything is classed. Its not just health effects

  • well thats cause tobacco and alcohol are legal and more easy to get

  • in countries where marijuana and cocaine are legal or tolerated, tobacco and alcohol are still #1 and #2 killers by 100X or more. in the US, ALL illicit drugs COMBINED is at #9 with 17K deaths/year. Tobacco is #1 at 500K/year and alcohol is #3 at 120K/year.

  • @youlance29 heroin wouldnt be at number 1 if it was legal and regulated. it would be alcohol

  • this was good. this is the intelligent approach that policy makers should be taking, however i would be shocked if this approach is actually used anytime soon... at least not here in america where antidrug programs in grade schools lie to instill unwavering fear... because they know they have to exagerate.

  • This is good.. But what about shrooms and oxy cotton

  • @laxboys1331 like em both!!

  • @laxboys1331 Oxycodone 

  • crystal meth??

  • why do they have ativan (lorazepam) at 1:05. put that in the benzo segment

  • That is fascinating. Unfortunately, none of this information will change any laws in America because those drug laws are about making money, not helping the public.

  • @cobell007 okay thats why america is spending so much money on keeping weed legal and the buyers are putting money into the mexican cartel.. fuck that tax it 50 an ounce and no imports on it and america would be bankin so much more money compared to keeping it illegal.... stick that in your pipe and smoke it

  • @garrette94 ya but thats like trying to steal the oil business from Exxon or the arab lords in the middle east: good luck.

  • @Hellknight3d stealing the oil?? naww man what im saying is grow it on american soil and have no imports on marijuana and there yea go we got the supply and every 1 has the demand for it

  • heroin is a no go u just dont go there in the first place cocain is for the kind of people that r rich like celebrities or the type of people who like 2 party but is dangerous cuz it stops the heart fags wether u take 1 or 100 either was cancerous and i think if cannabis and alcohol r used in the right way in moderation then its safe but if u take more than u can handle then can be very dangerous

  • dont be complainin that shooms didnt get up ther! they obviously trin to tell us that ther not harmfull and we shud do lots of them!!! :D:P

  • @DynExtro i don't do shrooms cause i'm a wuss and they scare me but hahahahahahahah ur a fucknig champ hahahahahaha

  • There's a lot of things I disagree with on this list. I think Tobacco should have been ranked more dangerous, and alcohol less dangerous. Then again, I don't live in the UK, so my perception would probably be different.

  • Tobacco is more addictive than alcohol, but in terms of net personal and social cost alcohol is worse. This isn't surprising, since alcohol abuse is socially acceptable. There is no drug whose effects are easier to see and there is no drug whose effects are more commonly disregarded.

    Even if you never touch a drop of alcohol in your life, you'll still spend much of your life working to pay for other people's alcohol abuse. Taxation means that we are ALL victims of alcohol.

  • Brilliantly said.

  • I agree that heroin is dangerous, but I think the methamphetamine!!!!! IS A LOT MORE DANGEROUS!

  • @79Clips @79Clips I agree too but there is not as serious a meth problem in the UK as there is a heroin problem, so it is all relative.

  • What happened to shrooms?

  • where the fuck is meth on this?

  • @d9thwonder I was just thinkin that man

  • I think they only have amphetamines in Europe dude, at least that's all i've ever seen here and have never been offered meth in 4+ years of living in different European countries. Meth is pretty much confined to the USA, Canada and Mexico.

  • Methamphetamine is present in Europe and UK with the street name of "speed" and it's availability it's like for MDMA: depending on the region but fairly available,

    In EU Meth didn't exploded like in USA, It's the as for crack, In US they were smoking tons of it but not in Europe. Here they used heroin and went to the rave drugs. I think it has to do with alcohol prohibition in USA.

    In Italy the worst kids are doing heroin and the more mature "weekender" uses ecstasy.

  • SuperSayjin I was always wondering why in my counrty (Poland) which allegedly is a big producer of meth I never heard of someone taking meth. Aphetamine is very popular but not meth. I heard you can only find in Slovakia...

  • Meth comes under the title of Amphetamines. I think the effects of meth are the same as speed, but the purity is just much more higher.

  • amphetamine is much less addictive (it couses awful hangovers so its nearly imposible to do it every day). I guess meth doesnt cause hangovers, its much stronger and much more addictive. I watch a documentary where bunch of junkies were telling their story and they claims that they do it 5 days not spleeping and eating, and after they are sleeping 3 all days...

    I know ppl who tried amphetamine and none of them is addicted now. But personaly I know also its quite seducting when you tried it once.

  • @d9thwonder cos' this show is Britishcentric and Meth is really hard to get hold of there it does not figure on the list.

  • @d9thwonder Anphetamines

  • @d9thwonder

    Meth is very uncommon in britain

    their speed is 'amphetamine' not 'methamphetamine'

  • @KittehhhKat amphetamine and meth-amphetamine are 2 different things. like weed and alcohol are.

  • @d9thwonder meth is an amphetamine, amphetamines were around 8 or so.

  • @umusuuk .. Methamphetamine and amphetamine are two completely different drugs. Meth is MUCH MORE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL

  • @d9thwonder

    Methamphetamine is not really a problem in the UK- that being said a friend of mine whose a police officer said they had to watch an informational video on it and its effects (increased risk of violence from users etc) because a few years ago the 'experts' anticipated it was coming here in a big way.

  • @theporksicle

    So than I suspect heroin and crack are the two main problem drugs in the UK than?

  • @nintendofanboy31

    Yeah, the crack market really isn't that big, heroin is still the biggest problem by far, but there's a lot of people who use both- paritcularly prostitutes who are heroin addicts but need to be awake all night so they use crack and then use heroin to take the edge off the crack comedown.

  • @d9thwonder

    not sure how much meth is in england.

  • @d9thwonder On 8th, meth is an Amphetamine. The same reason why crack is not separated from cocain. If it was, results would have been different I think.

  • @d9thwonder Is meth prevalent in UK? because i think it's number 1 in america most dangerous drugs.

  • @TheMasIncorporated well maybe but the most dangerous ones that affect the most people isnt meth anywhere, alcohol and tabacco kill way more than meth, heroin, coke, anything.

  • @d9thwonder Crystal Meth and PCP are both absent from this programme because they're nowhere near as widely sold/used over here as they are in the USA

  • @d9thwonder well there were amphetamine, so theyr prob merged.

  • Comment removed

  • @4inches4u what i meant was why isn't it the most dangerous?

  • @4inches4u he meant meth-amphetamine...

  • @d9thwonder It is considered an Amphetamine. They just did not break it out.

  • @d9thwonder

    it isn't popular in Europe, it's a study done in Britain

  • @d9thwonder we dont have meth in the uk.

  • @d9thwonder It was number 4.

  • @d9thwonder amphetamines..?

  • its funny DMT is illegal since every human being on the planet is a user- why do we have Dreams / Nightmares because of Dmt present in our brains!

  • DMT is the most illegal drug in the world

  • its the same thing just used differently thats why its put in the same

  • they forgot the internet

  • Factoring deaths per annum into the study completely fucks the list. Making something legal (i.e. tabacco) increases it's use thereby increasing deaths. The reason there aren't many deaths from alot of the Class A's is because they're illegal. This affects their availability and people's moral stance towards them..

  • Hogwash. You don't use total deaths you use deaths _per user_ per year.

  • what about methamphetamine fucking idiots....its the most illegal drug

  • This documentry is meaningless and does not stand up to scientific opinion in terms of the list.

    Even the scientific opinion of prof nut who was in it!

  • where's television on this list? its highly addictive and turns your brain to mush..

  • @kevbrav

    I'm guessing your not from England...if you were you wouldn't think it even QUALIFIES for this list lol
