I believe I heard while watching a Meth special on TV that 85% of those that become addicted to Meth never kick the habit. That sounds pretty bleak to me.

I'm gonna go with meth. I've actually tried the stuff and didn't really care much for it, but it's hooked a whole lot of other people and screwed them pretty bad.

Marijuana is NOT bad at all. Damn people get your shit straight. Marijuana is GOOD. Good Marijuana. Good....

cocaine and crack are not the same thing They might be made from the same stuff, but crack is much more addictive

It could be said it elicits a chemical response: adrenaline. Maybe Religion, porn, WOW, and ATOT are gateway drugs?

well, yeah. Drugs work by inducing the release of natural hormones. mostly endorphins. Once you get into the realm of drug response, and it's actual functional mechanism, you open up a vast, uh...closet of other "substances" Video games have been shown in studies to effect the same type of chemical responses in the human brain as substance-based drugs.

I think religion taps into a more natural way to induce similar responses.

ICE was the worst, was it not? The problem was that the market literally died out too fast for it to ever become successful.

damn you! DO NOT bring reality and history into a veiled anti-religion thread! :|

Heroin, easily. I've seen junkies shoot stuff from complete strangers without a second thought. Scary.

It was in a bottle, she must have been the cheap kind.

No, I gave it to her after I threw her in a cab, figured it would keep her from robbing someone. Just blew my mind she would store meth in someones house she had just met when her and other peoples kids are there.

Meth tends to ruin more lives, although heroin tends to cause more deaths. I'm leaning towards meth, since it's much easier to get than heroin.

Tough question. I'm going to include cultural influence and other real world factors and say Alcohol, even though it has far less potential for danger than other drugs. The danger, however, is much more realized. Binge drinking is actually something people strive for in certain areas (e.g. Wisconsin) and the fact that so many people around the world use alcohol to excess regularly and see nothing wrong with it makes it the winner in my book. Maybe this was already discussed in the 4 pages of thread I decided not to read...

Try body patches, worked twice for me. I haven't smoked for 13 years now.
