Cannabis worse than Ecstasy? Cannabis, a class C drug whilst Ecstasy is a class A drug? I would say Ecstasy is worse than Cannabis but....

Watch the programme.

Bear in mind this was compiled by a bunch of top scientists (not some opinionated MMORPG stoner student who thinks he knows it all at the tender age of 20-something.)

the classes are all wrong, i'd say cannibas is more dangerous than pills easy

I'd also say that LSD as far more dangerous than ket too

You need to watch the programme to understand why they've been ranked like that

Cannabis is more dangerous that ecstasy.
The problem with Ketamine is that its very easy to overdose on it, and overdosing on ketamine is fatal.

The scientists very clearly stated that cannabis is a dangerous drug. Its not harmless as people think it is.

Like I said, you need to watch it

Complete fucking pile of bullshit in utter honesty.

Far more likely to die of hydrocephalism (?) - aka drinking too much water, doing E - than anything smoking cannabis. Ever.

Trust me. Been there, nearly done that.

Exactly.

You get people who have smoked a bit of weed and they think they're experts in the fields of pharmacology, toxicology, psychopharmacology, neurology, and chemisty. Do me a favour. You know nothing. Watch the program.

they dont give any good reasons to me. atleast to me a drug is dangerous as soon as the rate of death or aggressive/radically changed behaviour incrases. Ex might not kill many people but if people easily get addicted or die from effects directly caused by the drug are high in terms of numbers of users/deaths its dangerous. all in all i think its hard to determine which drugs are less or more dangerous when we pass a certain line (Crack/Heroin)

but im no expert

They haven't got the FH factor though.

Some of the things about that list seem a bit nutty (valium so high, acid so low, solvents lumped into 1 thing, etc.). But tbh, I think they just are trying to put forward some sort of rational alternative to the current a, b, c classification in the UK atm, and stimulate a bit of debate on the issue.

Whole program seemed to be summerising some paper or publication anyhow. Unless I missed something didn't go into do much detail how they wieghed up all the different criteria. Would have to read the actual thing i guess.

Haha, make a better list drug trainspotters if u don't like it. :)
