Top 10 Worst Drugs

The effects of this drug are disgusting! I always wonder what sort of frame of mind must A person be in to take this stuff in the first place? as well as Heroin & other drugs the person must be really messed up in the head to take it knowing how addictive these drugs are & the dangers of using them & just what they do to your body. I generally feel sorry for all substance abusers & I hope 1 day drug abusers will gain the strength & will power to turn down these drugs & not to take them in the first place. Also I hope 1 day every drug dealer will stop praying on these weak, desperate people & help them instead of shoving drugs in there hand because they want there cash. I hope they will stop being so greedy & look at the bigger picture of just how many lives they are destroying daily.

I'm doing a report on drugs in my Health class and me and my partner did ours on Krokodil.

It's crazy to think this drug was once used for medical reasons (like cocaine once was).
Since it is much cheaper to make this has become the broke man's heroin. And this has become a major problem as it seems to be spreading, even across the ocean, in the past 14 years since it's been out. There have been cases in Russia, Asia, Europe, and North America (3 states here in the United States that I know of).

This drug has the absolute worst effect. There is paint thinner, gasoline, hydrochloric acid, iodine and the red phosphorus from matchbox strike pads mixed into Krokodil. The best case scenario is that the skin around where the injections are turns a pale green color with patches of black and hardens like crocodile skin (hence Krokodil). Another name for this drug is the "zombie-drug" because it literally eats your flesh where it is injected and the surrounding areas (if taken ...more

People need to learn about this now if it is so far down the list. MIT should be at the too wayy above heroin and everything else.
It rots people's flesh from he inside out. People taking this drug have a life expectancy of 1-4 years depending on how much they do it. If they are in the poorer parts of Russia where they can hardly get real heroin at all, they will use this more and rot and die sooner. Others who only use it when they can't get their usual heroin will live up to the four years maybe but the effects are still there using it even once and you will still rot.
It is ghastly. And just recently may be in the US.
It is codeine mixed with gasoline, lighter fluid, eye drops, and some red phosphorous stuff. In Russia Codeine is over the counter so it's easy to obtain a a much, much cheaper than heroin.
Codeine isn't so easy to get in North America so hopefully that will deter it from being an epidemic here as it is in Russia. Only time will tell. First documented ...more

This thing should be far higher than it's current placing. Even above heroin. I've seen images and they are the most disturbing things you will ever see. I had nightmares about it. For years. One time, I heard overheard a guy saying: "I'm a krokodil addict, and believe me, the high is perfectly worth the skin-rotting stuff". That line was just... devastating. It shows how incredibly addictive this is. This drug in my own words turn you into the living dead. The worst drug that ever came into existence. By. Far.

I know several people who have died due to this horrible substance. One of the worst aspects of this drug is that it is cut with cheaper/more potent drugs, leading users to miscalculate their dosage. This isn't seen as much with meth or cocaine. Coke is typically cut with substances that look like coke... Lidocaine is a prime example... It's bad, but not to the extent that heroin is. Meth typically isn't cut on the street because it's found in shards. The problem with meth is worrying about the overall purity of the product's cook or the substitution of research chemicals. Heroin is far worse when it comes to gauging dosage. This is why so many people die from it. Heroin is also extremely addictive. It is far more physically addictive, and almost as psychologically addictive as meth. People sell sentimental items from their childhood to get their fix. This is the worst drug there is.

Just watch the Australian Ice Destroys Lives Commercial. Heroin might be super addictive and harmful, but at least you're not a psycho. Most Heroin crimes are for dealing the drug. Most Meth crimes are for using the drug, Methamphetamine-induced crime, Psychotic reactions and dealing the drug. And at least Heroin can be used as a medicine. The reason it is more addictive is because of the substances put in it. Even Cocaine is put in it. Ever heard stories about Morphine Addiction. It's the same with the Diacetylmorphine (Heroin) addiction when it was first made. All drugs are bad, but Ice is the worst. It's even worse than Krokodil. So Heroin should be ranked third.

I've been a recreational drug user since I was about 15. I've used pot, alcohol, psychedelics, cocaine, crack, meth, benzodiazepines, opiates, and heroin. Of all those substances I have found that heroin is the hardest to refrain from doing and is the only drug I have ever been dependent on besides marijuana. The withdrawals from heroin are absolutely the worst feeling in the world as well. I will never try heroin again. When I started using drugs I decided that I should try everything at least once, and it worked well for every other drug besides marijuana (which I love and believe the benifits out weigh the risks so I do not see using as something detrimental to my health), opiates, and heroin. If anyone were to have this same mentality I would strongly incourage them to never try either.

I'm currently addicted to this awful drug and have been for 6 months. It's an absolute living hell and you're digging yourself into a massive hole which is almost impossible to get out of. Wouldn't wish heroin addiction on my worst enemy.

This proves that people have no clue... Alcohol and nicotine are one of the worst drugs. They should be both on the top 5 following cocaine, heroin and meth. I can't believe Marijuana is on top 3, when it has been proven that not a single human has died from its consumption, and Ecstasy on top 6, when most people that supposedly die from it, actually die from dehydration (if you're on x you tend to dance, so you begin to sweat a lot. You can not blame the drug because of not drinking water, when you were dancing all night). If you would count the number of dead people because of consuming alcohol and nicotine (legal drugs) it will be still much higher than the one of people who had died because of world hunger and thirst, traffic accidents and wars put together (FACT)

Alcohol tastes too strong when you first taste it but then you continue to taste it and then you begin like it and if you drink to much when you do something it can get even worse. Why are people so addicted to it when it can kill them I will never no. A few shots of liqour are better then your life? No way. Why do people even consider this a good thing and overcomercuelize it, because it is cool and tough.

Alcohol is one of the reasons my dad may have died, and him dying caused bad effects.

I never understood why alcohol was ever legal. It does more damage than marijuana ever could. Many people die of it, lose control of themselves, and most importantly lose themselves. Once into alcohol, or even an overdose, you feel like your old self is trapped in a little lock box and you feel as if you can never find a way out.

It should be #1 because:
-It is legal, therefore more people use it
-It kills many users through alcohol poisoning and liver failure and accidents
-It causes abuse and stupidity
-It kills innocent people...

Not many people use hard drugs like Coke, Heroin, or Meth.

And why is Marijuana on here? It's never killed anyone...

My baby brother tried it for the first time at 16 years. He's just been released from prison earlier this year and is now on his way back to serve a third sentence. Friends have come back to my family to report they've seen him gushing blood from his head while walking down the street. Once he was found passed out on an elevator and mistaken for dead. He's stolen from me, my kids, lied to husband and said I was having an affair just so he could trick my husband into trusting him. This drug got him to give a rap career with Lil Wayne. My brother is now 37. If it weren't for prison, he'd be dead.

Horrible drug so addictive all it took was my first hit and I have been chasing it since. 9 years and I was able stay clean 4 years only to relapse much worse. I have slept outside done anything and everything to get more tried to clean up so many times. Chronic relapsed I have abused lots of other substances including prescription opiates, benzos alcohol though I am an alcoholic, meth, regular coke, weed and this is by far the most addictive drug I've done. Alcohol usually starts a relapse but then I get crack and that takes over it's my drug of choice

The worst. Top problem with drug/sex trafficking. Makes me sick how you have a label for being trafficked the rest of your life and how you try to turn your life over to Christ at ten years old and bam still a target because your childhood wasn't a hundred percent perfect. So now young Christians are drowned in their guilt thinking they are bad because of what someone manipulated them into and they jump off buildings or go towards "Crystal" thinking it is the lesser of the two evils and all know when it comes to drugs, there is NO lesser evil.

Crack would have to be the worst drug ever has destroyed our life my partner of 28 years has been using for over a year now. All he cares about is getting more even stealing for it. He can't see why I had to leave him.

This is definitely in the top 3. Also well known as the "Zombie Infection" after its outbreak with a man on bath salts eating a mans face off. This will ruin your life completely. Maybe fun for a little bit, but ruins your lifetime.

A woman chopped her baby in half with a sword she had hanging on a wall and ate her child. A guy ate a dog after taking these. People on these need 4+++ people just to hold them down. It's like steroids on steroids with insanity mixed.

In northern Maine bath salts Is a huge problem and should be higher on the list. It's not because its not super common anywhere else

This drug doesn't effect the user as bad as others but it effects other people worst than anything on this list. Like Iamgine if you are walking inthe street and suddently a user comes and eats your flesh. If you Imagine it you notice why I have a grudge on it

This drug is relatively safe when used responsibly at the right dosage. The trouble is that the recreational dose is very very close to the lethal dose so even if you know what you're doing it could kill you.

I've personally tried several times before. It does carry risks and you need to be careful, but it's not nearly as dangerous as rumor says it is. It's no more dangerous than alcohol.

People have died with one hit. Do not do it there might be worse long term drugs but this is a short term drug as in your dead if you try it.

This drug changes a persons outlook on life itself. It is very bad for your brain, and is easy to overdose on. My friend died because of it

This is a derivative of Fentanyl and is used only by veterinaries. It's about 10.000 times more stronger than Morphine in dosage ). 0,1 Mg ( 10 Mcg ) can kill a human and is therefor never seen on the street as a drug. Dealers are not in interested in substances that can't be cut with other drugs ( we're talking about Micrograms here! ) or that have a great potential to kill their " customers ". Useful medication for big animals, never used for people. Is this one of the worst drugs? Not really because it is used only by professionals.

I get that tobacco and alcohol kills people and are very very dangerous, but c'man carfentanil is sooo much worse. Should be much higher up

Where I'm in (Switzerland), smoking cigarettes is allowed at 16. So is alcohol. Honestly, now, so many people in the world smoke these days. It's hard to see an over 18 without a cigarette these days. When smoking is nothing good:
It costs a lot, first of all. It's like taking a handful of cash and burning it. And you spend all that money just to poison yourself. And you get addicted to poisoning yourself. It also stinks. And don't even talk about lung cancer. Sooo... don't try tobacco.
And if you're with a cigarette while reading this, I'd suggest Nicorette.

Probably one of the worst things out there, despite its popularity, actually did you know tobacco is more dangerous than heroin and cocaine? If it was illegal people would probably do the things you see meth heads do to get there next hit. I say all this yet I still smoke, maybe just not start.

Tobacco is actually not the most dangerous drug (as defined by both tissue damage and addictive potential). It's not alcohol (that's number 3). It's refined sugar. Dr. Atkins was right. No substance has caused more degenerative disease and premature death in the last 100 years than refined sugar.

Lung cancer caused by cigarettes killed more people than most drugs. Tobacco in itself isn't the problem, neither is nicotine by itself, but with all the toxic chemicals they add to cigarettes, they become pretty deadly.

Benzodiazepines are, by far, the worst drugs out there. They are extremely addictive, cause immense damage to the body & brain, & are nearly impossible to get off of- in fact, like alcohol, the withdrawal process can cause seizures & death if not done correctly. Doctors over -prescribe benzodiazepines all the time & keep their patients on them when they should be used for short periods of time (2-3 weeks max/not months to years on end). The protracted withdrawal symptoms can last for months, even years & have more symptoms than any other drug by far.

I was put on Xanax when my sister was dying of ALS. It took me 4 years to regain my physical and mental health after going off of it. It's not taking the medication that's a problem, it's when you stop taking it or when your body goes into tolerance withdrawal that the real problems start! I never abused it and took it only as directed. When you start having withdrawal symptoms, doctors just tell you that you need more, or replace it with something else. If you're one of the percentage that has withdrawal, God help you because it's the most horrific experience in the world. There are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of us who experienced the mental and physical affects of full-blown or tolerance withdrawal. It's no joke. It works at first, but beware, this stuff ruins families, careers, relationships, and lives. When you go through withdrawal, you'll just wish you had your old anxiety back. When you're the unlucky one that has withdrawal affects, even though it was ...more

It WILL make you do things you wish you'd never have. I previously abused these and struggled coming off of them. I made mistake after mistake and used xanax to cope with everything wrong. It took a near death experience for me to realize the real effects. Too many will make you OD, I was almost out and barely fought theough. Never wanted one again. Weed has taken its place as my anxiety medicine and I'm slowly reclaiming my life. Don't sit by and let your friends abuse xanax, I used to and nobody ever tried stopping me.

Alprazolam is a short-term benzodiazepine ( brandname Xanax ) and is less addictive than long-term benzodiazepine like for instance Diazepam ( Valium ). So if you make a list like this,just say benzodiazepines in general or make some actually research which molecule of benzos are the most addictive. Like I said, there are long-term acting benzodiazepines and there are short-term acting benzodiazepines and alprazolam is in the category of short-term benzos.

Flakka is a new derivative of bath Salts. It's alpha-phenyl pyrovalerone and not like most people think a mixture of heroin with methamphetamine. Dosages seen on the street are so exagerated ( many people who are involved on fabricating those new drugs are not aware of the potentials in dosages ) that every person who takes this are behaving like crazy maniacs.

Ketamine is a anesthesia of the Cycloalkylarylamines family. It's a substance known to be hallucinogenic. It can be seen in two different forms ( the HCL powder form or as an liquid form ). By intramuscular injection the effects comes fast ( 1 to 5 min. ), snorted ( about 10 min. ) and orally ( 20 min. ). The duration of the effects are by injection 30 to 45 min. Snorted about 1hour and orally 2 to 4 hours. Great doses can cause sudden collaps and if mixed with other drugs it can cause paranoid psychose. The worst part of this drug is that it can give you unpleasant flashbacks weeks and even several months after you have taken this substance. Definitively one of the worst drugs.

I tried ketamine a few times. Still safer than alcohol because it doesn't incite violence. While it does impair memory, it does not impair judgment. Ketamine users, unlike alcoholics, know not to drive a car.

Ketomine is a life saver. Given to people who have smoked synthetic weed it sudates them, and when push comes to shove. It can be used to suppress respatory system for intubation. It does have a good side people don't see everyday.

You can't describe the feeling. It's literally never ending hell.

Spice is literally poison to the human. It forces us to use it and further inject it's toxicity into our brains. Spice is pure evil. People who have survived it's ravages have visited Hell itself on a bad trip. Never, under any circumstance, believe that Spice isn't that bad. It's a chemical made to kill.

Spice should be a lot higher. There is an epdiemic in Manchester about K2, people are using k2 to get off of heroin. Also I had a friend who tried K2 and he had bipolar, he is no longer the same person he attempted to sell his soul to the devil and he tried carving an antichrist sign on his chest with a screwdriver and he's 15.

If someone offers you spice. Or if they say it's like weed, but legal. STEER CLEAR! This should be a lot higher on the list, I'm surprised how few of people are cautious of this substance...

It's a really bad drug. I followed a singer/celebrity for a year ago and one day it said on the news that he was dead. And that he had used spice. He did it once and died right after it.

Was discovered by Henri Laborit when he was asked to see why diving soldiers beneath 10 meters in water did get sometimes deadly convulsions trough the oxygen mask. He replaced the natural body substance ( in vitro ) GABA by modificate the radical NH2 with OH. GHB was born ( Gamma hydroxybutyric acid sodium AKA sodium oxybate ). It's medical use is the treatment of cataplexy in patients with narcolepsy. It has a illicit use as a " date-rape drug " because the substance is tasteless and very easy to dissolve in mixing with a drink. Every sedative for that matter can be a " date-rape drug " but because of its liquid substance often abused.

Actually pretty safe when used properly. It occurs naturally in the human body in small amounts as well. If you take too much you'll pass out hard but will wake up. Actually implicated in .02% of date rapes. It tastes awful and as such would probably be noticed if slipped. Alcohol is a better date rape drug than G.

There's a bunch of idiots in here for some reason, LSD kills brain cells then you trip for ever, just wow I don't know what to say. You can use that with any other drug drink to much and you will be drunk forever smoke to much and you'll be high forever there's no one on this planet tripping forever it's a myth. And one guy said LSD is like playing roulette with your life, LSD has killed no body a big fat zero, the only time its dangerous is when you have predisposition to a mental disorders like psychosis, if you don't its no were near as bad as you say its, its one of the safest things out there not safe safest. And you also said LSD is the only drug to do damage to you a short amount of time? What LSD does zero damage to the physical body and if you have no mental illnesses than LSD won't created one so how is LSD a bad drug? And also it doesn't trigger psychosis and other mental illnesses unless you have it before hand even then it's rare, and it doesn't kill brain. Cells, I've ...more

LSD isn't very addictive and if taken in low doses and once in a while it can be called even a safe drug. The truth is that when you beginning to abuse LSD there's another whole story. One of the unsafe and very dangerous effects is the alteration of Adrenaline wich will produce Adrenochrome. The Adrenochrome high will produce schizophrenia psychosis with extreme thought disorder. When the body is producing too much Adrenochrome effects will become irreversible and lead to madness. One of the best known victims of this is Pink Floyd's first singer-songwriter of the sixties ; Syd Barrett. Safe, yes when moderate but extremely dangerous when abused.

Very safe. Doing it will not kill brain cells, despite what you've heard, and won't leave you tripping forever. Hppd is real but occurs in a small part of the population. Lsd can leave you with some permanent mental health problems but it's usually because the individual already had a latent illness that was brought out by the lsd. The real danger is getting something else instead of lsd. Such as 25i-nbome, which has caused many deaths.

This thing makes you forget about EVERYTHING and so you can sort of scape of the world and your problems, it makes you not to care about ANYTHING at all. If you try this, you MUST look at the sky, so beautiful, it also makes you appreciate more the little things in life. It puts you in these surreal world made by your mind. Oh and after you try this, you cannot donate marrow.

Fentanyl is not 1000 times more addictive than heroin like one of the comments say. Fentanyl is 100 times stronger than morphine ( and NOT 1000 times stronger than heroin for that matter! ) It's only given as part of surgical procedures and not as a pain reliever ( exept for cancer patients at their last stage ). Methylfentanyl ( streetname China white ) can be seen on the Streets where it can cause overdose due to its potency and because the addict will take a too high dose that he is used to ( but that's because of the ignorance of the substance he bought thinking that it was heroin).

I'm an oldster who experienced the Hippie movement in the 1960's and did all the drugs available at that time. Just watched a docu on Fentanyl filmed in Alberta Canada (could have been nearly anywhere in N. America, particularly NE). Awfully addictive and life destroying. Yuksville.

An autopsy report from singer PRINCE declared he died from a overdose of Fentanyl. He was hooked on the substance for several years.

This should be in the top 5. I just lost a friend about a month ago due to Fentanyl overdose. People don't realize how deadly this drug is

Opium is a complex drug. Most drugs are single chemical compounds that can be defined with a chemical formula. This is not the case of opium. It isn't a single drug. The most potent chemicals in opium are morphine, codeïne, thebaine, papaverine and noscapine. But you can't call it really a set collection of all those alkaloids. Opium alkaloids vary greatly in their effects. Some opium alkaloids stimulates the GABA receptors ( as Benzodiazepines does ) while others work on the adrenaline receptors, the histamine receptors etc... The result of all these different effects makes opium a complex substance. Smoking opium can last to more than 12 hours and has a greater narcose effect than the isolated chemicals ( especially morphine and codeïne ) of opium.

Opium and Heroin are different. Opium is found in the Opium Poppy and is used to make morphine and other drugs. Heroin is a more potent form of morphine. You need a chemical called Acetic Anhydride and Morphine to create Heroin, although there are tons of ingredients in Heroin. The scientific name for Heroin is Diacetylmorphine. So Heroin and Opium are not the same

This drug got me laid

It makes me really horny

Honestly I believe that addiction is a myth. I've done all of these and never had a dependence. There's been times that I've wanted to use them but that doesn't mean anything. Do these drugs if you want. It will not ruin your life like people say. I've been using Oxycodone (Stealing and buying) since I was 14 because I like it. I've went months without touching it and forgot about it. It's a good drug if you want a good time. (Like weed)

Oxycodone mixed with Acetaminophen is sold as " Percodan ", mixed with Aspirin is " Percocet ". Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid and is always administered orally. As injection, especially intramuscular will cause severe problems and sometimes even be deadly. Very dangerous when used for recreation.

Extremely addictive, provides a euphoria that makes come-downs awful, can result in liver failure. This 's hardcore

Horrible addiction! But this is with all opioids a very viscous cycle this addiction is!

Why isn't this higher up?

This actually makes go you delirious for days, should be ranked higher

Ecstasy, not MDMA is in my opinion the worst/hardest drug in existence. Ecstasy has to be cut in order to be put in pill form the three most common drugs to cut it with are all in the top 5 of this list; 1. Herion, 2. Meth, and 4. Cocaine. Beside these drugs the actual ingredient mdma that gives you the ecstacy high is pretty dangerous on its own. The last bit is that a lot of would be drug dealers sell research chemicals as "X" to make a quick buck. 9/10 times this research chemical is more dangerous especially if you don't know what's in it. At least if you go to the ER for a cocaine overdose they know what to give you but ecstacy they have no idea what drug (s) are actually in you so medicating it is risky.

All of these comments are misguided. Mdma is very safe as well as therapeutic. It's in the works to get un-scheduled 1 due to possible medical use. This drug can be habit forming but not used in excess in one sitting or over a small period of time it's side effects are slight if not none with very little long term effects. Testing your drugs solves the "cutting" problem. All this person I know's mdma is 88%+ pure. Which means it's not cut (it's impossible to have 100% fyi. Educated drug users do not become statistics my friends

Ecstasy is a derivative of methamphetamine. It's full name is Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. Like methamphetamine it's exagerated for its addictive power. It's only dangerous in high doses ( like is methamphetamine ) and is not very physicaly addictive. All drugs that are illegal are exagerated by the government just to give people fear to use them. For instance, alcohol is legal and accepted by society and governments but it gives you more dammage than drugs like heroin, amphetamines and so on.

Definitely overrated drug, used it a couple of times and if you're able to control yourself it's very unlikely it's gonna hurt you or anyone around you.

Nicotine actually isn't bad. Its not the nicotine that gives people cancer, it's the thousands of other chemicals found in cigarettes and chew that give you cancer. All nicotine does is cause birth defects IF you are pregnant.

Pure nicotine is a stimulant that interact with our natural neurotransmitters of acetylcholine trough our nicotinic acid bodyenzymes ( nicotinic acid or niacin is a vitamin of the vitamin B complex ). Deficiency of nicotinic acid causes the disease pellagra in humans and is also the source of Alzheimer. Giving nicotine will help against Alzheimer ( nicotine will stop further breakdown of the remaining acetylcholine in Alzheimer patients ). This doesn't mean that smoking cigarettes are healthy to prevend Alzheimer. It doesn't! Cigarettes have more than 4000 chemical components released when smoked outside the nicotine. Only medical pure nicotine in small doses are helpful and even nessecary if you have a deficiency of niacin. Nicotine without a deficiency becomes an addictive substance. Together with all the " worst " chemicals ( who are the real source of cancer when smoking cigarettes ) added in them, a very addictive and dangerous drug.

Nicotine causes some of the worst diseases including lung disease, cancer and coronary artery disease. Definitely preventable but people choose to use nicotine products anyways.

Nicotine and alcohol are two of the largest sources of preventable deaths in the world today. It's a shame they've ruined so many lives.

Defiantly should be on the top 10.

Should be on the top 10.

Kills you in 6months

Methamphetamine cut with battery acid and engine oil should be at least number 15
