    Which are the most dangerous? No specific order as it depends on the specific person but I would say between: heroin, alcohol, nicotine, and heroin. Why? Because they are all SUPER ADDICTIVE. Alcohol is up there because people don't even think about how dangerous it is but it's definitely more dangerous than most of the drugs on this list. I guess coke would come shortly after that list.

    Least dangerous... definitely cannabis lol, followed by mushrooms and LSD. Non addictive, really difficult to actually hurt you.

    What do I think should be legalized? All of them.

    To be honest most of them aren't even that dangerous. Even stuff like heroin is perfectly safe if used with clean needles and the correct dose is administered. Obviously addiction is a problem but if your a responsible person you can probably control how often you do it. As long as you have researched how to stay safe on the drug, everything is normally fine.

    I'd say solvents are probably one of the most dangerous things on there. The high definitely isn't worth the risk.

    Some of them I'd even encourage people to take. All the psychedelics like LSD and DMT, ecstasy and cannabis can really open peoples minds and make them a better person.

    Inhalants/solvents ("huffing" - inhaling fumes or chemical vapors) are by far THE most deadly and disabling substances out there. They are not "just" drugs but very toxic POISONS that were never meant to go through the bloodstream.

    My friend actually has a severe BRAIN INJURY from inhalant use at the age of 12, now in her 30s.

    For more general info re: the dangers of huffing - National Inhalant Prevention Coalition: http://www.inhalants.org/

    Please do *not* use *any* outside substances for a high, including and especially a hallucinogen, as they can cause severe mental illness, such as Schizophrenia, that was otherwise dormant.

    Please also be aware that synthetic marijuana (spice, k2, herbal incense, potpourri) is supposed to be extremely dangerous, too. A teen girl was left with severe brain damage and blindness from synthetic marijuana. Her parents have started a non-profit to raise awareness of the dangers of synthetic marijuana: http://www.safe4emily.org/
