10 Most Dangerous Drugs In The World
Numerous scientific studies have confirmed that certain drugs have extremely harmful and destructive effects on the human body. Addiction is basically a brain disease. But, when certain drugs like heroin and methamphetamine are taken into consideration, the effects aren't just confined to the brain. Physical complications can arise as well. In this article, we look at the most dangerous drugs in the world. Some of these most harmful drugs in the world are also amongst the most addictive drugs in the world.
Although most of these drugs are illegal in many countries of the world, lawlessness and lack of commitment to arrest the problem has led to increasing levels of drug addiction. Let us now look at these 10 most dangerous drugs in the world. They also come under the tag of "deadliest drugs in the world".
Here are the 10 most harmful drugs in the world. Read on... The drugs in the list are ranked in ascending order of their deadly quotient.
Marijuana
Marijuana is mostly a recreational drug. Although it does figure in this list, marijuana isn't seen as being comparable to other drugs on the list. However, it does figure in the list, for prolonged use can lead to depression and anxiety.
MDMA
Commonly referred to as ecstasy, MDMA is, once again, not a very harmful drug until a certain point. It is illegal in many countries and long term use can severely affect the central nervous system. MDMA is one of the most common party drugs that increases the feeling of intimacy and induces a sense of euphoria. An overdose can be disastrous, especially when combined with alcohol.
Ketamine
Ketamine comes next on the list of most harmful drugs in the world. It is linked with inducing paranoia even if consumed over short time periods. Hallucinations are a common phenomenon associated with ketamine.
Crystal Meth
The drug has massively gained popularity after the popular TV series Breaking Bad. Crystal Meth has wide ranging effects that severely affect the brain's functioning. If used frequently, hallucinations, memory loss and other effects follow. Moreover, withdrawal effects are quite severe too.
Cocaine
A popular party drug, cocaine comes next on the list of most dangerous drugs. It is also one of the most addictive drugs in the world. It releases massive quantities of dopamine,a feel good chemical released by the brain. Withdrawal effects can be hard to take. The body, apart from reacting mentally, also reacts physically on withdrawal.
Alcohol
Known to cause the highest number of accident related deaths, alcohol is actually more dangerous than many other drugs on the list.
Tobacco
Tobacco is the deadliest drug in the world as far as number of deaths is concerned. It is worse than marijuana and other recreational drugs. It also happens to be one of the largest sources of government revenue for many countries- probably why it hasn't been made illegal yet.
LSD
A powerful psychedelic drug, LSD, short for Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, is the most powerful psychedelic drug. Prolonged use can lead to severe and irreversible paranoia. The drug induces hallucinations and delusions. An LSD trip lasts for almost 12 hours.
Heroin
Known as the queen of all drugs, heroin is the most harmful drug in the world. The amount of dopamine released in the brain while on heroin is about a hundred times more than the amount released during an orgasm. Lighter drugs like methamphetamine is administered to reduce the withdrawal effects from heroin. Many cases of death when on withdrawal have been reported. If used for long periods, the effects on the brain are irreversible.
Speedball
This deadly combination of heroin and cocaine takes you to a new dimension altogether. Heroin addicts who cannot get enough of heroin often prefer the speedball. Death from a speedball overdose isn't an uncommon phenomenon.
