This is the latest drug list revised by Britain's drug experts. It reveals the misconceptions we have of alcohol and tobacco being the least dangerous out of all drugs other than Heroine and Cocaine.They tested 20 different drugs and scored the effects caused to the body. The results were surprising and shown in the graph provided.
"A team of 29 psychiatrists took part in the the study to classify all drugs into nine groups that were analyzed on the physical harm, addiction and social danger. Another group consisted of 16 experts did the research in several fields including chemistry, pharmacology, psychiatry and legal field to say a final word on drug ranking.
According to this new drug list, alcohol is named A drug. It slightly outruns heroin and cocaine. Tobacco was placed ninth and fell within a category B drug, after amphetamine. Such dangerous drugs as cannabis, LSD, ecstasy were left far near the end of the drug list."infoNIAC
