[QUOTE="rubyq, post: 561293, member: 15530"] The list was made by experts in different fields based upon harm done to the individual. Meth is extremely psychologically addictive but the drugs that were ranked above number 8 on the list are extremely psychologically and physically addictive. With the exception of buprenophine at number 10 (aka suboxone or subutex which are used like methadone to treat narcotics addiction) all of the drugs that cause physical withdrawal symptoms are 1-7. What I take that to mean is that meth likely would have been rated higher but it wasn't because meth addicts can suddenly stop taking the drug with no medical supervision and suffer no ill effects. So when you look at it like that meth was actually ranked very high, right up there with the drugs that can kill people who suddenly stop them. Also meth has been linked to very few deaths because generally (unless taken by someone with a heart defect) it is almost impossible to overdose on. This is also because most addicts smoke the drug and therefore they feel the effects instantly so they won't take that next hit. When heroin addicts shoot up they often don't know how pure the drug is or how much they can physically handle, this puts them at an extreme risk of overdose. The same is true with the pills that ranked high on the list, because they take time to start working addicts can more thinking they haven't taken enough when in reality they just haven't waited long enough. Those pills also cause withdrawals almost or just as bad as heroin. [/QUOTE]
