The list compiled is from a UK study that analysed the relative effects of drugs; 1 being the most harmful and 20 being the list.
The whole drug classification system is messed up, particularly in the UK.
I tried coke once and I regret it quite a lot... stupid thing to do. Ecstacy is commonly thought of as really harmful, but it's only 18 on the list. I found that very surprising, and cannabis is higher than I though it would be.
If anyone's interested the scientists took into account the harm to the individual taking the drug, the harm to society and the addictiveness of the drug.
