''Legal'' Drugs That Are More Dangerous Than Illegal Ones

March 23, 2007

New research has found that alcohol and tobacco are more dangerous than some illegal drugs. When ranked based on actual risks posed to society, alcohol and tobacco are among the top 10 most dangerous substances.

Risk to society was calculated based on the physical harm to the user, the drug's potential for addiction, and the impact on society of the use of the drug. Groups of experts assigned scores to 20 different drugs, including heroin, cocaine, Ecstasy, amphetamines, and LSD.

Heroin, cocaine, barbiturates and street methadone were ranked the most dangerous. Alcohol was the fifth most harmful drug and tobacco was the ninth most harmful. Neither marijuana nor Ecstasy made the top 10.

Tobacco causes 40 percent of all hospital illnesses, while alcohol is a factor in more than half of all visits to hospital emergency rooms.
