As someone that lost their mom to a (legal) opiate OD, I contest that cocaine is the most evil drug. Most all of ODs in general are opiates and the negative life effects and addiction is much higher with heroin and opiates than cocaine.

- 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.
