Horizon - Britain's Most Dangerous Drugs Part 4/5

[d0gm34t]

i lov speed...

[nitrobunny2]

fuck me im quitting tobacco

[vodka4199]

Alcohol is no 5??? or pls give me a fucking break!! the only thing that happens when you overdose on alcohol is that you vomit, nothing else! this is something I shoot down my throat almost everyday when i wake up in the morning and when I'm hanging out.

[BURNOUTRS]

430 000 users that they can confirm, 35 deaths a year that they can directly attribute to amphetamines. well shit thats not even 1%

[rsohlich1]

Alcohol impairs people WAY more than most drugs. Its fucked up that its even legal since cannabis is illegal. What a bunch of BS

[TheCrunchymango]

says it all really,they themself put alcohol at no 5(id put it higher) admiting it kills over 40,000 a year(how many of them are innocents hit by drunk drivers ?) at least,but thet allow that because its highly taxed,like smoking,wots fucked up is billions are raised from tax on smoking,enough to fund three national healths a year HOWEVER if you smoke the refuse you certain ops on them grounds......its ALL WRONG FROM TOP TO BOTTOM,make them legal and monitor/educate people on the pros n cons!

[Legthyfeline]

Funny that the Government can't legalize drugs that make one think, rather than cloud the mind. it's almost as if they want us to be downtrodden- oh wait.

[AdelaideSkaterKid]

@Legthyfeline Smartest shit I've heard.

[anarkistarebel86]

The propaganda continues...

[WhiteKnightDubstep]

way more than 100000 people on Ket

[Pie4menow]

wheres shrooms?

[funguysmall]

@Pie4menow harmless

[kingofkeyboards]

love how everyone on here are now pharmacists and experts in drugs :-/

[nickleus1977]

02:30 i dont understand how first they say that tobacco kills more than all drug use, suicides and homicides combined, then they say that alcohol is more harmful than tobacco? doesnt make sense.

[Jhcool]

@nickleus1977 Nutts assesment was based on harm to the individual, addiction and harm to society. Alcohol probably causes more damage to society than tobacco due to alcohol enduced violence/car crashes etc.

[onlyoneinthestate]

alcohol is bad b/c so many people use it, if any other ILLEGAL drug was made legal and was pretty cheap (so anything other than coke and heroin), it would have about the same effect. kids in high school would have more and more weed parties. So people would die from high driving. There wouldn't be any "overdoses" but people would be their normal idiot selves and die.

[sksnkton]

haha all the heavy weight death toll drugs are legal..

[Jericho874]

Meth isn't even in the top 20? But the others seem to be right in order.

[Cypher791]

the trouble here is that idiots become binge drinkers... and not that binge drinking created the idiot...

[terruuuuhh]

yummy, ketamine. 

[keystage9]

How many times have you heard someone come home and beat their wife stoned?, how many times have you heard someone come home and beat their wife drunk?

Legalize it... its all im sayin

[Bionic3333]

The accent of the doc kills me. >.<

[tomr33s999]

...alcohol is fucking class.

[negerens]

so its better that i take 1lsd or inhale solvents than drink a glass of vine one dose 150ml

[buffbeno]

I see Romford, Essex on that Methadone prescription. I always knew it was full of smack heads haha

[InfamousCrimes]

Life sucks, so we need drugs. I don't understand cigs though. They don't even get you high and you smell like shit.

[BakerSoda]

@InfamousCrimes ..Cigs dont get you high but they are very addicting (nicotine) so, for the person to feel normal they will get there nicotine fix by smoking tabaco or if they dont they will feel wierd. its almost like if you were to eat alot for like a year then new years start eating nothing you will want food really bad, thats how nicotine screws you.

[mythkw]

legalize pot ban alcohol

[Leoooonard]

theres alot less dangerous drugs then weed , there is a POSSIBLE link between weed and scizofrenia this makes it more dangerous then lsd ectasy etc

[Babania1]

so there you go, we can drink and cause untold mayhem and death and destruction to ourselves and others, Yet Im criminalised if I want to drop a pill at the weekend and dnace without causing anyone any bother!! makes great sense hey!!

[GaeilgeSpraoi]

@Babania1 I know! It's retarded, it's all got to do with profit. The alcohol, cigarette and pharmaceutical industries are multi billion dollar organisations and the governments get a shit load in revenue and tax from them.

[TryingToOpenYourEyes]

personally i hate drinking after about 6 pints if i down em or 8 if i dont i can hardly see or speak but i can smoke 10 joints and be more lively and less likely to kill myself or cause harm to others....go figure..

[suckaslim]

my friend died off a overdose of methadrome.... took enough to kill 4 people

[MusicToEatOfficial]

great documentary

[ipi5hl]

good though Ketamine is def not as dangerous as tobacco! Should be wuite a lot lower down

[dirtdemon6]

LSD is fine. Just don't be a retard thinking you can fly...start from the ground if you must fly.

[DrunkenMidget90]

@dirtdemon6 lol i agree :DD

[sourdoughress]

This is incredibly stupid this whole video.

Marijuana is far less harmful than solvents or ecstasy. They mentioned amphetamines being incredibly high up on the list. But they put Ritalin (Methylphenidate) in the begging of the video, it is an amphetamine!!! I know many kids that have died using solvents and I know tons of people who smoke weed on a daily basis.None of which have been diagnosed with any medical illness or have died. Yet they say it is more deadly than solvents give me a break.

[legomanyeh]

as the saying goes "ketamine is for only for fools and horses"

[BASSLINESSSS]

lol

[TlGBC]

@legomanyeh they actually have a saying for that?

[BURNOUTRS]

its weird that i saw weed in the background, last time I checked weed was almost completely harmless. LEGALIZE!

[untdasrebel]

i'm sorry, but of course it's not completely harmless, it does come with its risks, but these risks are not as severe as those of other drugs, like heroin, or even legal drugs like tobacco and alcohol. so yeah i agree they should legalize, but they can't tax it but they can't, i forget why, but they wanna tax it so they can make a lot of money out of it, but y'know thats the government for you

[TheMopomies]

@BURNOUTRS Its realy not that harmful, but chouse it could kill the Lumber, Paper, and Gasoline industries :D, thats the Sole reason it WONT be leagalized : /

[fudge1monkey]

@TheMopomies

nt sole, if its legalized, they wont make money from selling it because everyone will just grow it as its so easy to grow. wheres the profit for the government?

[drunkensailor112]

@BURNOUTRS

they should rather legalize xtc. although imo legalize everything because illegality of drugs causes more problems like high prices that make people steal

[AlekIsHere]

@BURNOUTRS - They cover weed in part 4. They claim it is a bit more complicated and does have some dangers.

[puppiesarekawaii]

@BURNOUTRS did you not check out the last part of the video?

[THEBONEENGINE]

@BURNOUTRS IM DOWN WID DAT SHIT, WHOOP WHOOP!

[R0undAboutMidnight]

The only drug I've ever had trouble with is alcohol. Done benzos, weed, mephedrone, salvia, poppers etc. . . . but I was much better off on all of them. Don't think that because it's socially acceptable alcohol is safe. There have been times that I could've died after drinking too much.

[Chulkov89]

Heroin was created as a substitute for Morphine addicts. Methadone is a substitute for Heroin addicts.

Rofl.

[vibrancy3]

8:39 wtf, obsurd! but apparnetly right ??? lol

[ESAR909]

ur a fucking moron forestell

[forestell]

i wish i could find people like you that are big mouth piece over a fuckin computer grow up you fuckin idiot just making an opinion jackass

[verttricktips]

And whys that? because alcohol is legal? cos the government can't get a tax on E? look at how many many people that drink die...then compair this to ecstasy. the only way people have ever died from taking E is from dehydration/over drinking(water) or an allergic .

[SheMustDieStupid]

its strange how I think that I am going to get drunk when i'm older but never think that I am going to take any of the less dangerous drugs...

[Kraftas1]

Damn after wacthing part 3 im never going to smoke cigarette again lol, but weed speed yummy!;D

[LIawIiet]

. . . K is the 6th most dangerous drug!? That's insane. I had no idea it was that serious.

[djzarus]

or legalize all drugs or bann all drugs. thats what i think. not decide on how much money they give to the government and companys

[XxXFreedomReignsXxX]

So we can get drunk and destroy ourselves and others every day yet you can't take a tab on the weekends? MAKES ALOT OF SENSE!

[SheMustDieStupid]

@XxXFreedomReignsXxX

She means that you shouldn't drink too much in one night (cause the body can't really 'absorb' it) instead you should spread it out over a week for eg.

[18daniel]

@XxXFreedomReignsXxX LSD often cures alcoholism and the government can't have that, too much tax raked in from drinkers (where I live it's 30%).

[nazsh11]

drunken chick fights rule.  lol

I have never smoked so much that I couldn't see but I have smoked so much that I needed a nap

0.o

[feenix560]

P.S. This video does make some good points but hoe much do we value experience ? How many EX. users are there in the world whose insight would help greatly and is being ignored ?

An ex user working in the NHS was told he had to treat according to their rules rather than utilise their experience.

What goes on in the mind of a "concious" addict fighting for their next fix ?

Substance abuse is a symptom of other problems that largely go unaddressed.

[feenix560]

methadone. This drug has NO benefit in treating heroin addiction. It is as addictive as heroin and much harder to withdraw from. The drug "rehabilitation" system tends towards control rather than cure.

only when the world "wants" to cure the problem will there be a solution.

Only then will people stop lying to us all about these drugs and facing the reality of this evil situation.

A good start would be to decrminalise addiction and recatagorise it as a medical problem.

[b0grillaz]

theyre clever shits 3:25.. what;s with the kid??? making it look like ' hes growing into a teenaged yobish lcoholism life , and why shud we let him grow into this ' ?

Leglise cannabis

[GuitarRHCPfan]

This whole documentary just made me crave a bowl, few vicadens and about a 12 pack of stella...yum

[iAMgta8608]

notice how the 2 biggest killers are both legal?

they just want us to kill ourselves.

what a fucking joke!!!!

[Kamatzu]

@iAMgta8608 Why does that surprise you? If they're legal, and therefore millions of people are using them, obviously more people will die from them.

[Beanmaster73]

crystal meth isnt on the list cause ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine and the chemicals to make meth are strictly controlled in the uk- thus it cannot be manufactured and turn a profit- simply not the case in usa where non of the chemicals are watched very carefully

[jakewalker16]

YES alcohol I love it

[Homewrecker386]

Weed is better, or maybe all the THS in my system has turned me skitzo and it's all in my head? Lmao!

[678MaXiM678]

meth isn't on the list because there is no market for meth in Britain, therefore it isn't a problem. spargbotu, Heroin is actually mainly non-toxic, it's the consequences of taking this drug which make it so bad

[harry1066fun]

what planet are you from?

[silverbackman]

Heroin non-toxic? I wouldn't say so, it definitely is toxic because it's easier to overdose on than other opiates and weakens the immune system.

[spargbotu]

1. heroine 2. amfhetamine 3. sniffing glue this are the most toxic drogs for the organism in my opinion ( tabaco is deadly on the long-long term, you can die from other causes before you live to die from lung cancer)

[HrapovikPlush]

Amphetamines aren't that bad. Amphetamines are different from crystal meth. I wonder why meth isn't on the list.

[supermanxevan]

i was wondering that too. but maybe its not popular in britain, seeing as this is british.

[darrendailee]

alcohol is soooo bad WEED IS THE BESTXXX i love weed AND I HATE TOBACCO AND ALCOHOLX THEIR THE GOVERNMENTS DRUGS FUCK THE GOVERNMENTX

[spargbotu]

alcohool is not that bad, is bad if you do it non-stop, like alcoholics, and the same thing with weed , try staing high for a month and see after that if you function properly

[HrapovikPlush]

I think it's same for every drug -- if you do it nonstop it's bad, once in a while it's not. The problem is that some substances are more addictive than other.

[3oMethylmorphine]

lmao at 3:26.

Alcohol is a nasty, toxic, dangerous drug. Still, I can't deny I enjoy a pint or two... not enough to give me a hangover.

I note Codeine isn't on the list. Does that mean I can indulge to my heart's content? ;)

[HrapovikPlush]

Codeine isn't on the list probably because it's not a problem in Britain. This list includes the drugs that are most popular in Britain.

[tehhhhhd]

They should have named it ethanol and put alcohol as a street name.

[HrapovikPlush]

How do people take methadone? Just drink it or is it injected?

[thc4uandme420]

its a tablet... they used to make it in a wheel but u cant get them in the us anymore... Atleats in the northwest... yer best bet is to stay away from that shit...

[thc4uandme420]

but it can also be used intraveinously and i believe it can be drank...

[l3d3nn3]

LOL 3:26 - the guy's reaction to a couple going home to open a bottle of wine...

[HrapovikPlush]

Ampetamines (at number 8) is a bit misleading because there are many types of amphetamines. If the amphetamines means "crystal meth" or "methamphetamines" in this case then it doesn't deserve number 8. It should be at number 1 or 2. But that's maybe because meth isn't such a problem in UK. Who knows....

[b0grillaz]

don't abuse drugs. use them properly. especialy stuff like heroin , crystal meth , brbiturates. dont abuse drugs , just use them

[youknowitwink]

Notice how the number of deaths(how dangerous it is), is related to how many people use that drug. More people use it, so there is a higher chance or more recorded deaths...

Just throwing that out there.

[drunkensailor112]

alcohol is with heroin the most dangerous drug there is. even more than cocaine or anything else. you know why?? because it leads to violence. there's not a single father on the face of the earth that beats up his own kids or wife up who has used xtc, speed, lsd, cocaine or ghb. none. try that for alcohol! it's not a friendly drug! and it goes beyond me how accepted alcohol is in society.

[BoneBeast]

What about cannabis? those that lead to violence ?? No! It make you friendly and its a medical herb that is one of the most used drugs! Bullshit no. 11

[novikain]

uhhhh dude, speed can make u violent as fuck

[drunkensailor112]

I've used it many times and seen it being used by dozens of people and no one ever got violent by it. cannabis also doesn't make violent but I hate smoking and the smell and also you become really slow by it. I don't like the feeling too much so I never use cannabis and I never drink alcohol either

[Deliriosa]

Sorry mate, but ur really wrong here.

Alcoholism is in my family, so I despise it.

Yet : Speed & cocaine can deffo lead up to violent moodswings, and its even more dangerous than alcohol because you become a lot stronger on these substances than a weak drunken ass nob.

and no im not anti-drugs or pro-drugs

[drunkensailor112]

that's absolute untrue. you don't become stronger by ANY drugs. except maybe steroids. but that doesn't make you a better fighter. that has nothing to do with strength. you just become fearless however there's no drugs that makes you have violent moodswings except alcohol

I really wonder how many people here just have story's by hearsay. I actually used it all and have seen it used alot. if you ever go to a dutch hardstyle party have your eyes open 80% is on drugs and not a lick of violence

[Deliriosa]

then apparently u havent fought anyone who is on coke ?

dude, stop the bs. i do most of this stuff aswell, and ive been thru the good and the bad. speed deffo makes u stronger becuz u become faster, and feel a lot less. dont tell me fairytales, actual strength u dont gain, but people who are full of rage can b a lot stronger.

Just stop talking up all these things. Like i said, i do most of these myself aswell, but im not as naive as ur acting now that they dont have any downsides.

[drunkensailor112]

you are the one bullshitting. just watch this documentary

[HrapovikPlush]

You should check a National Geographic program called "World's most dangerous drug". Search it here on youtube and you'll see how dangerous meth is.

[chicachula62]

Thats not true. PCP brings on superhuman like abilities and many stiumulants give users the feeling of invincibilty and reduced pain sensations, causing them to do things a sober person would not, like fighting harder because they can't feel their knuckles breaking etc.

also crack and meth both cause extreme paranoia and can bring on violent behaviors in a person. Many drug users who are coming off a meth/crack high are very prone to violence because they experience a terrible mood swing

[HrapovikPlush]

I can assure you that meth makes people more violent than alcohol. Meth addicts will do anything to get their hands on more meth. Even kill people. To say that there are absolutely no fathers who abuse their kids because of drugs (not taking alcohol into account) is hogwash.

[drunkensailor112]

well and who uses meth?? about next to no one. I worked in child care. and with abused children. none ever had an abusing father who used drugs. only alcohol.

[HrapovikPlush]

That's because you live in Netherlands. I should've pointed that out in my previous post that meth is not so popular in Europe as it is, for example, in US states like Oregon and Mississippi. 60% of meth addicts live in Asia and they have a huge problem with meth related crimes. In Oregon county jails, 1 out of 3 inmates are tested positive for meth. Have you ever heard of "meth babies"? Probably not because once again, you are in Europe, but it really is a huge problem where it is widespread.

[darthsun666]

when it comes to alchol its about moderation. i drink maybe once a week to about every 2 monthes, and i dont binge drink! i love to get good alchol ones i can drink to not get drunk to, and yes i have been drunk but like i said its about moderation, and if your family has a history of abuse that means be more careful, an alcholic is someone who feels he needs a drink . so by all means not all alcholics are drunks

[ganandowf]

My bestfriend died from methadone

[Whoaa512]

methadone is  like heroin without the high

[Deadlycolli]

However im not saying ecstasy or lsd would definitely not cause you to behave like that. But they would be less likely to cause you to fuck up or start a fight. Alcohol in itself is an extremely powerful drug in many senses (especially the after effects, i find hang overs far worse than coming down off pills). So really stopping binch drinking would be a good habit, however me being irish and living in dublin makes it tough to stop drinking :P No really, its impossible, EVERYONE does it!!

[Marack05]

Ecstasy would never make you start a fight lol.

[Deadlycolli]

In fairness alcohol is possibly de most dangerous drug der is. Certainly in terms of a social problem it wud remain the highest, due to the fact its so available and popular. The effects it causes aren't actually seen by the general puplic to be intimidating or treatening as they should be. If someone took pills or acid and started staggering and throwing up, or even starting fights people would find that far more intimidating. But ironically, chances are, someone on those drugs wouldnt do that

[grayfoxv]

Yeah I thought that. They put it so high up because you can loose conciousness at higher doses. Funny thing is, thats what it was designed to do in the first place.

[Faygo069]

it's not harmless. did you watch the video? researchers at Cambridge are reproducing data that don't link marijuana to positive health claims.

[avyion13]

the study was with IV THC. only deaths are because its combined with others like ketamine, alcohol, etc etc. worst i've had is i did alot and it was alot on me lol.

[SSSLLLAAYYEEERRRR]

Alcohol is too cheap? It is under priced? The price it sells for is the only price. There is no over/under. And I know America's government pushes up the price with taxes and regulations. But like that lady said, we cannot blame the person. We cannot put the blame for their mistakes on them. And the British Isles, next to Germany, has always been Beer Central. What are they talking about, "new disease"?

[HrapovikPlush]

Lol, we cannot blame that person? That is hogwash. Alcohol is just a substance. People need to take responsibility once in a while. Fat people don't blame mcdonalds for their fat asses. If you are an alcoholic then you are your own victim.

[SSSLLLAAYYEEERRRR]

I was being sarcastic. I thought the statement that people should not be blamed for their mistakes was evidence of that. I was reiterating their point to show how ridiculous it was. And fat people do blame McDonalds from time to time and sue them but that is part of the ridiculousness.

[HrapovikPlush]

Actually, you are right, some fat people DO sue McDonalds. But this is just ridiculous. I really like your screen name and I would like to mention that it gets so ridiculous that some people blame Slayer for certain murders and accuse slayer of being satanists and nazis. There have been cases where Slayer was sued because murderers were fans of Slayer. This is nonsense to link those 2 because there are a lot of perfectly normal individuals like me who listen to Slayer.

[HrapovikPlush]

What???

[grayfoxv]

I disagree with the 'War on drugs' however Heroin should stay illigal. It is very dangerous coming off Heroin. People have died from the shock to the system of not receiving heroin. The brain thrives off the feeling skag gives and can pack in when it's not given it.

[BrianTotse]

Jack, you should NEVER quit any addiction cold turkey. You need to come off slowly. If you go cold turkey off a high regular dose of xanax, you're asking for trouble.

[trooperman4]

xanax should be number 1....

[BrianTotse]

Why would Xanax be number one?..

Things like Meth and Heroin are plenty worse.

[KitireFel]

they listed xanax like in the 2nd video...

[BenNicholson234]

This cuts out a good 10 minuites of the doccumentary, wheres the tobacco segment?

[baregeezer]

tbh theres no point in drinking when u can do mdma its better for you and makesyou feel better

[uberpirox]

sooo right, lasts long, doesn't make you feel ill (for me atleast) and being off your face on mdma, is a MILLION times better than being off your face on drink, the come down is the only down, always want more when it starts to wear off

[baregeezer]

blad u know what your talking about its west tho x

[hipi09]

Aye men! x]

[TrustUsTonight]

I agree the high is much better than alcohol, no contest - but you can't really pop pills every friday and saturday night without a very quick tollerance build up, you soon lose that loved-up magic and after long term use like that'll you'll probably end up with mood swings, short term memory loss, etc.

But it's a beautiful drug when used wisely.

[tgm99999]

Do you see yourself as a binge drinker? No I'm a bins drinker

[oaxacamexy]

dont be stupid
