Opinions - Which one of these You consider as"Soft Drug" Medium Drug" Hard Drug"(alcohol,LSD...

[Waffa]

I want to thank everyone who pointed out the misspelling of ecstasy & heroin - in my own home-media it's really common to see this kind of wrong spelling of these drugs (it's not English speaking media) , but i think it's time to learn correct spelling now - so thank you once again - i noticed my self this after i posted the poll but i can not change it myself unfortunately. Also i did make mistake by leaving out Amphetamine's & barbiturates etc.. sorry about this :)

(Also please do not forget to take a look to my new post in this thread (updated 2 March) "Lists of "Top Lists" from different sources & 'death rate calculations' based by me based on gov statistics, post #17"

Okey, lets just say there is 3 different levels of drugs, soft (relatively safe for person and for people around him/her, including first time uses with no pior education how to use it ), medium and hard (often medically more dangerous compared to safe drugs, often abused, often addictive, often causes harm for user and people around him).

& if you would want to place drugs (including cigarettes, alcohol, maybe some common medicals also like anti depression tablets ) on this category considering these factors:

* Average % of people who abuse it easily
* Ease of getting poisoning / permanent damage / health problems
* Dangers when mixing with other substances like different common medications, allergic & psyhcological reactions
* Addiction
* Harm coused from drug when he/she gets addicted (& how easy is to quit)
* Harm she/he can do for himself under the influence physically
* Harm she/he can do for others when he/she is under the influence, mood changes
* Thoughts about crime and other illegal things under the influence (what drug couses/powers these "bad" ideas most & wich one more likely not)
* Comedown affects (like alcohol has hangover and people usually first thing buy more alcohol in morning if they can so hangover would be softer, MDMA


For starters my list (if someone points out new drug i will add it to my list, from best to worst) - this is fast made list, what Pinocchio just thinks.
Like he is not so sore if MDMA is safer then LSD or Marijuana is safer then mushrooms (it's hard to debate between long & short term drugs because they are so different), so do not flame me for placing some drug in "wrong place in this scale" because i do not know a basically nothing much about some of them

This is just for starters and i might change my ideas where some of them should be placed but what you think what drug should be where? (add more drugs if you can).

Probably this list would make more sense if it would be "hard users" "moderate users"

Not sore where to add: Oxycontin, Benzos, Hydrocodone, Sinicuichi, Ephedrin
