Things that annoy you greatly?

...what?

Of COURSE it applies to LSD, maybe not cannabis. LSD is dangerous though.

I think a lot of my point was that we can't generalise, but when people say they hate drugs, they're generally referring to the dangerous ones, which are definitely worse than alcohol.

Also, trust me, it's incredibly easy for people to overdo it on harmless seeming drugs in some forms. Cannabis, in the form of hash, is really easy to overdose on and has some really quite scary affects.

That's not even mentioning the quality of drugs and whether or not they're pure, which as we all know is not necessarily the case as of course it's through dirty dealing. Infected needles also.

I imagine people fear the lifestyle of a drug user as much as the drugs themselves, and comparitively the lifestyle of your average joe drinking alcohol to get drunk is far more innocent. So in those cases I think it's perfectly OK to say you hate drugs, but not alcohol.

Lol. LSD is neither addictive nor can you OD from it. The only reason it could be considered dangerous is due to actions you take whilst on it, which not only is true for alcohol, but not even a direct effect from the drug its self but a secondary effect, which is why it's recommended you take it with a sitter. It is A LOT safer than alcohol, and the only reason you think otherwise is because it is a class A drug. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Tell me, what are your views on magic mushrooms? Are they too more dangerous than alcohol in your eyes?

So according to you, when people say they don't take drugs, they are only referring to the ones more dangerous than alcohol? So they don't include marijuana? What a load of rubbish, marijuana could easily be the main one they are referring to.

The only way anyone could die from hashish would be if a piece the size of a piano fell on their head. There have been NO records of ANY deaths due to marijuana over doses, which is probably because you cannot OD on it

Talking about cut drugs generally only applies to the harder, more expensive and dangerous ones anyway. You cannot get cut LSD or marijuana. Cocain, heroin and ecstasy are probably the only ones, and even then that's down to a dodgy dealer, not the drug itself.

But please, don't take my word for it, it would seem scientists agree with me as well (I took the trouble of using a reliable source, pic from the BBC):

Seriously, read up then wise up. You know a lot less than you think you do about drugs. LSD is even below cannabis in terms of how harmful it is.

As for your last paragraph about people fearing the life of a drug user, this is just pathetic. I've been smoking pot for almost 7 months now and I attend the 9th best University in the country. Doesn't sound like a bad lifestyle to me You are generalising way too much. Please do not even bother replying to me until you learn some facts. If your next reply to this is as naive as your last post, I won't even bother replying to it.

Also, LSD isn't physiologically addictive or harmful,

but still dangerous due to the hallucinations.

Plus, drugs such as heroin and cocaine are indeed much more physiologically harmful than alcohol in its entirity per single dose.

Also whilst you may have used a reliable source for the graph, there is a lot wrong with a statistic such as that. For one thing, it doesnt tell you how that was calculated- alcohol is much more wide spread than a lot of drugs. Stats aren't all that reliable and often biased.
