And thank God for that. Cocaine is the most evil drug I can think of and MDMA is one of the most holy. You don't pump cartel hitmen full of MDMA and tell them to kill men, women and children, but cocaine on the other hand is just the tool. If you extend that by small degrees down to the party scene, all you get is bad news. Its the worst, most worthless, and most dangerous drug out there.

- Scoundreller 12y agoThankfully, at least someone on the planet tried to rank the relative harms of drugs. He was, of course, not a politician, and the nearest politicians fired him from his scientific-governmental posting. David Nutt published his rankings here: http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2010/11/drugs_cause_most_harm http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2010/11/drugs_caus... Alcohol, heroin and crack cocaine topped the list, in that order. Ecstasy was near the bottom of the list.
- cnp 12y agoQuite pleased to see mushrooms down there at the very, very bottom.
