Substances in ranking: 1. heroin, 2 cocaine, 3 barbiturates, 4 street methadone, and 5 alcohol. According to The Lancet, these top 5 have the potential to change lives for the worst. I guess crystal meth and ghb are safe. NOT!

Alcohol and heroin are the most addictive and intoxicating drugs. Heroin is undisputed in addictiveness and destruction in the individual. However! Alcohol on the other hand is more intoxicating than heroin.

Tobacco products can be deadly over the long term, but they are way out of the league of substance abuse. Tobacco rarely gets u in trouble with the law, job, family, money, etc. It's not alcohol, cocaine, and marijuana u know!

Internet Report Abuse
Internet addiction can sometimes cause families to break up and too much time on the internet can actually keep one kind of secluded.

Comments:
Internet addiction has ruined my social life. I have no friends, I barely have any family, and I have nothing in common with anyone. I have severe depression, anxiety, and psychosis because I have spent too much time with unsupervised internet access as a small child and teen when my parents should've worked on my social skills with me. The worst thing about this is that the internet is not only mandatory to live, it is also encouraged to be used as much as possible.

Caffeine Report Abuse

Nothing is wrong with this stimulant: It's unregulated, safe, and has absolutely no potential to destroy lives. It is a xanthine, an ardenosene inhibitor. Cocaine another stimulant, is entirely different, way way out of the league of caffeines. Cocaine is dangerous, regulated, and illegal. Caffeine can't put you in handcuffs,cocaine can without a doubt.
