Drug policy reform is a pressing issue these days, with many American states legalizing or decriminalizing cannabis, and many more countries also going through their own legal overhauls. Opponents of legalization warn that legalizing drugs will only lead to more widespread abuse. Proponents often fall back on the fact that alcohol, a drug notorious for how dangerous it is, is legal pretty much everywhere.

Not only is alcohol dangerous, there’s good reason to believe it is significantly more dangerous than many of the drugs that people aren’t able to obtain illegally. Tens of thousands of people die of alcohol poisoning each year in the U.S. alone, and then there are those fatalities that are indirectly caused by alcohol consumption – accidents resulting from irresponsible behaviours – as well as the slow poisoning of long-term abusers.

In 2007, a group of British scientists published a list of drugs, ranked by how dangerous they are to the user and to society at large. Of the 20 on the list, only four drugs beat out alcohol as being more dangerous: Heroin, cocaine, barbiturates, and street methadone. The following are ten commonly used drugs that rank as less dangerous than alcohol, many of which are illegal to use recreationally, in descending order of dangerousness.

Note that these are not all of the drugs on the original list, nor all the drugs that are less dangerous than alcohol. None of the statements herein are endorsements of illegal drug use.

Also known as “Special K” or horse tranquilizer, ketamine is a psychedelic and sedative, often used in surgery for all kinds of animals – not just horses.

Ketamine fatalities are rare, and typically involve the user either taking another substance along with it, or engaging in dangerous activity. Quoting a finding from a 2000 report, the WHO says that of 87 “ketamine-positive deaths” included in the report, “in no instance was fatal intoxication caused exclusively by ketamine.”

Effects of ketamine include, but are not limited to, euphoria, increased energy, slurred speech, nausea, distortion of sensory perception, and disorganised thinking. Top 10 Glamorous News Anchors in India:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqVwHEFv2ko
