| TheRealMafoo said: I am all for legalizing drugs, but that chart is bullshit. There is no way you can tell me the "addiction potential", or the Withdrawal of Alcohol is the same or more then Cocaine and Nicotine. I drink a lot (3-4 times a week), but there will be time I might not drink for a month. I am never compelled to take a drink, or feel any withdrawal for nothing doing it. I know many people like that, in fact, I know of none who are not like that. I have never heard of 1 person who quit smoking, or doing cocaine and said it was as simple as just not doing it. |
Actually, alcohol is far far more dangerous to come off of when used at the same intervals as any hard drug. I do not believe cocaine withdrawals can kill. I know crack can't. Heroin and other opiates require a massive dose right before quitting to pose any risk to the life at all, and even then it is relatively minor. Someone who has been drinking everyday for a significant period of time will die without treatment though. It is incredibly dangerous, and normally requires constant medical attention. Addiction potential seems to be entirely made up though, so I can't really speak to that. Nicotine is by far the most addictive substance on that list, but has a middle of the road addiction potential? Seems weird to me.
