    Interesting Government Study

    Picked this up on mindhacks.com today:

    "The UK goverment commissioned psychopharmacologist Professor David Nutt and neuroscientist Professor Colin Blakemore to rank drugs by their dangerousness.

    The list has just been published in today's The Independent and gives some surprising results. Unusually, the list contains both legal and illegal drugs.
    The drugs were ranked by ratings which took into account a combination of their physical damage, social harm and addictive properties.
    In rank order of harmfulness:

    1. Heroin
    2. Cocaine
    3. Barbituates
    4. Street methadone
    5. Alcohol
    6. Ketamine
    7. Benzodiazepines (e.g. Vallium)
    8. Amphetamines
    9. Tobacco
    10. Buprenorphine
    11. Cannabis
    12. Solvents
    13. 4-MTA
    14. LSD
    15. Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
    16. Anabolic steroids
    17. GHB
    18. Ecstasy
    19. Alkyl Nitrites (poppers)
    20. Khat


    Apparently, the government were a little reticient to publish the report, considering the legal clasification is completely out of whack with this analysis."

    Note position 5 and 9 in relation to 16. For us in the AAS user community this is no surprise. But based on the fact that these ratings have credable science behind them, it seems absolutely astounding that people in the US that sell/buy/use AAS are having their lives destroyed thru imprisonment on the whim of a bunch of uniformed politicians supported by sensationalist media strategies.

    I do not live in the US, but for the majority of members on this board that do, it is clear that your laws around AAS need a serious rethink.

    The problem is that unlike Tobacco and alchol you dont know who f*ck is making the XTC, marijuana, coke nor what the hell their using. e.g Windex cant be good for the brain evn though it may enhance the feeling

    From articles I've read the dangerousness of the active ingredient MDMA is grossly overstated in much the same was as steroids. I believe the problem arises with the other substances they put into the mix.

    you people need to read, it's not just based on how dangerous a drug is - but 3 different criteria "physical damage, social harm and addictive properties"
