Wait, you mean to say that strong drugs are less harmful than cigs and tame drugs?

And that alcohol is in the same category as cocaine or meth?

[โ€“] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The other way around and yes, pretty much. I mean it's probably a bit below cocaine but like yeah, that shit is bad.

First thing - you really confused the signs

Second thing - you really have no idea what you're talking about.

Alcohol is definitely a menace to society, but the strongest alcohol a man can drink (like absinth, not methanol) will be much less devastating than cocaine or meth after one dose. Not to mention some other vile drugs like the russian krokodil.

I mean does the harm per dose really matter? They're both extremely addictive hard drugs that can literally kill you if you use them irresponsibly. Again, I know cocaine is worse, but not to an extent that warrants different treatment. Cocaine would also likely be safer (though probably still more dangerous as alcohol, I admittedly don't know enough to say much here) if it was socially accepted like alcohol.
