Comment on A new study suggests alcohol is more harmful than heroin or crack

Comments

Wait, how is methamphetamine use not harmful to others? Doesn't methamphetamine use specifically lead to erratic behavior?

Very very rarely. For most methamphetamine users, you can't even tell when they're using.

Markedly different from alcohol, which frequently causes erratic and even extremely dangerous behaviour.

There is a high degree of confirmation bias in observation of meth users. Most are docile but when someone has a violent reaction it is usually extreme.

Unless you mean perhaps the erratic behavior/decision making caused by long-term addiction?
