A set of new drug list was revised by drug experts in Britain to reveal that tobacco and alcohol endangers your health at greater risk than such dangerous drugs as LSD, ecstasy and cannabis.
Experts, through all-compassing research with the government top advisory committee, were able to make a shocking conclusion on the harm of regular tobacco and alcohol.
A modern classification of drugs may not reflect the real situation on harmful substances. Thus more than 50 drugs were tested on their social and individual impact and results lead to revision of ABC system.
A team of 30 psychiatrists took part in the study to classify all drugs into nine(9) groups that were analyzed on the physical harm, addiction and social danger. Another group consisted of 20 experts did the research in several fields including chemistry, pharmacology and legal field to conclude on a final word on drug ranking.
This latest study raised the question that government's drug policy was not paying enough attention to modern state of affairs and didn't take notice scientific research.
There should be no surprise that ecstasy drug was placed almost at the end of the list. One person a day dies from acute alcohol poisoning in comparison to 10 people a year who die from ecstasy overdose.
According to this new drug list, alcohol is named a drug. It slightly outruns heroin and cocaine. Tobacco was placed ninth and fell within a category B drug, after amphetamine. Such dangerous drugs as cannabis, LSD, ecstasy were left far near the end of the drug list.
A new classification brings to light many issues concerning drug policy with a more thoughtful approach and corresponding legal response.
Drug and alcohol abuse is more common than we think. Thus it can be taken care of by taken just a beat.
