It's Nutt again.

I'm so glad to see that this issue is long from at rest. Let's face it. We all love Nutt!

Alcohol 'more harmful than heroin' says Prof David Nutt

Alcohol is more harmful than heroin or crack based on the overall dangers to the individual and society as a whole, according to a report co-authored by the UK's former chief drugs adviser Professor David Nutt.

Cool article, yeah our drug classification/laws are nutts.

Interesting. Does he also say that since alcohol is more "dangerous" that it should also be illegal?

Interesting study and Nutt is the one to present it. Let's just hope it does not back fires and they enter a policy of forbidding everything!

As a side note, what the hell is Butane? The gas? Are people inhaling lighter's gas?

Yes, from the refill canisters, my brothers friend died at age 16 weeks after finishing school performing this ridiculous practice on the back of a bus, I really cannot imagine why anybody would want to do it, same as huffing glue/paint I suppose.

I like David Nutt. He is a professor based part time at my university. Have had a bit of back and forth with him recently about Ibogaine. He has some serious cojones to stand up to the government, and I'll definitely take good science over bad politics any day! Go Nutt!!

Have to agree with you, Bancopuma. I think he makes some valid arguments and i'm glad to hear you have had the chance to speak with him, specially about the importance of Ibogaine.
