Alcohol and tobacco worse than LSD or ecstasy - A very interesting news.com.au article that points out the blatant hyprocrisy in most government drug policy. Not that I condone use of drugs, I tend to think their are double standards in the way policy is framed and enforced.

The ranking list of drugs - by the harm they pose:

1. Heroin
2. Cocaine
3. Barbiturates,
4. Methadone
5. Alcohol
6. Ketamine
7. Benzodiazepines
8. Amphetamine
9. Tobacco
10. Buprenorphine
11. Cannabis
12. Solvents
13. Methtamphetamine (4-MTA)
14. LSD
15. Methylphenidate
16. Anabolic Steroids
17. GHB
18. Ecstasy
19. Alkyl Nitrites
20. Khat

The comments on the article are also very interesting
