Every single one of you has been around longer than me and most of you have been exposed to way more than me so this is why i ask your opinion.
pulled from one of fattrad's posts:
"PCP was/is the worst drug of all"
And how do you know that? Even if your a law enforcer you still how can you say that.
Actually if you were to ask me, I'd say most of the worst abusive drugs around today are the prescription ones. Weight Loss amphetamines, Oxycontin, Xanax, Norco Vicodin, Percocet ect. And what about meth?? I still think meth is the worst. Because of all the psycological damage and the gnarly addiction. But The most popular drug overdose for teens 12-17 in 2005 was Cortacetin Cough and Cold... a over the counter drug that contains small amounts of Dextromethmorphan a psychoactive ingredient, but you have to take twelve of the f*#king things for it to work. And so your kidneys shut down after a while.
So coming from some life experienced people, what is the worst?

Wellllll......the worst in my experience......was propane.
Yes, the stuff people use to heat their homes. My father's company was that of a propane supplier and us kids were a bunch of pot-smoking fools. I had two older brothers who began taking it further, particularly if there was noo other high to be had. Huffing is the poor person's buzz, and oneday it must have occurred to them to huff the gas.....
They tried it several times and one day told me about it and showed me how to do it. I took one hit, got the most vile and filthy slow-motion "rush" and then actually could feel what must have been brain cells popping.
I told them I would rather be straight than use that sh#t, and walked away, feeling mighty low. Thank god the next time they tried it, one of them passed out, and fell off the roof of the building they had hauled a little 20-pounder(the size of gas cylinder that is on campers and patio grills). He woke up and had the biggest black and blue egg on his cheek, from smacking something on the way down, and was out for so long that it scared the other one from trying it again because he thought his brother had died.
Even though I went on to smoke pot abusively for another 15 years, and alcohol till I was 34, I cannot imagine anything worse I have done to my physical being.
well....you asked.....

Ah yes the interweb, and the Taco in particular. I'm only half joking in my post if damage at the societal level is considered your measure of interest. For Juan the Taco is #1, for the rest of us it's not up to the others just yet but gaining fast.

From what I've read, sounds like Meth and/or Heroin. Probably meth tho just because it's so much easier to get.

If you measure it by the overall damage done to society, alcohol is way out front.

was a public defender for years in sacramento, Meth did more destruction to the folks who used it and everyone around them than any other drug... easily the worst for personal issues/societal problems... there is a website called http://www.facesofmeth.us/main.htm scary....
and Happiegirls "propane" vote was pretty wild. Had some inhalant clients who could barely form sentences aftr continued use...

I was slipped Acid. I thought I was having a stroke and went to the ER. If I had known what was happening it would have been fantastic!

Those Meth pictures really are scary. Especially the man and the lady on the left.
What IS Meth, anyway? I have been out of that loop for a long enough time now, and I don't pay attention....I suppose I could look it up, but I just ate some Krispy kreme's and ....I'm crashing....
Sugar is a bugger and a half, though.

Mayonnaise is a pretty potent drug.
Seems to me I heard of people giving LSD to bears in Yosemite a long time ago.
