I gave up smoking 22nd DEc 1989

Now you just sniff Bostik at your desk, and post hundreds of jokes when you're on a high?

I gave up smoking 22nd DEc 1989

13 June 2004 for me. Not regretted it since.

I didn't see the programme was looked at the list. I was surprised to see that Crack Cocaine was not in the list, nor Crystal Meth. This amazes me.

Crack was on the list... And I quote:

Cocaine
Street names: Charlie, coke, base
Street price: £30-60/g powder; £10-20 crack rock
UK users: 780,000
UK deaths/year: 214

HTH

What a completely stupid survey. Alcohol more dangerous than Crystal Meths? Laughable.

If the entire country got whacked on crystal mets every friday nights, we would be looking at millions of deaths a year.

Surveys like this are just a complete and utter waste of time.

That's the government's next step after adding flouride to the water, bung in some crystals as their way of controlling population. The bath salts industry won't like it though.

I take an interest in quite a lot of things that have a strong social impact.

So you're a typical bird hooked on FaceBook, Sudoku, Heat magazine, and designer handbags costing 3 times your weekly income.

Women. If they didn't have several useful holes they'd be well and truly fodido.

What amazes me is that you know these drugs at all

Have you read her posts? She's got to be on something!

[Churchill]

That's what they did in the 1840s during the Opium Wars...

Though that was a semi-private piece of enterprise... one of the glories of Victorian Britain...

Cup of tea? Denny, put the kettle on love!

Crystal Meth is a derivate of amphetamine (speed).
Crack is a derivate of cocaine.
So they were both included, even though they are not as popular over here.
Drugs are bad m'kay.

I didn't see that documentary, but I did see Horizon last night on the various opinions of scientists as to what the twenty most dangerous drugs are.

No surprise that tobacco kills more than the others - UK deaths: 114,000; followed by alcohol at 40,000.

I should be dead according to that list, have taken 12 of the substances on that list and some of them regularly back then...
