No room for debate, really. And I am not a fan of Ecstasy at all. But most dangers come from the fact that most of the time, E is not E. Those herbal BZP pills they had on the market were worse than real E.

As for LSD, how can we justify military budgets when thousands of people are lying in fields going ''my god ......... I love everything.''

He is right but the problem with his irresposibe statement is it makes drugs look like a good alternative by those dumb enough to want them....

Latest new is he has been sacked and rightly so......

Smoking - in the long-term - is equally as harmful.

Alcohol can be equally harmful if abused.

But it is just a case of wishful thinking to say that they are more harmful - than LSD or ecstasy thus implying that they are not particularly harmful.

Of course they are - on both mental and physical health.

Professor David Nutt wasn't expressing a half-baked opinion, he was reporting the findings of scientific tests carried out by him and other professionals. The government has now sacked him because his clinical findings clashed with their opinions. So... even when the scientific evidence is there, the government can ignore it and imagine they still knows best.
