Which ILLEGAL Drug Is the Worst Drug?

Question by Jazzy Fizzle: Which ILLEGAL drug is the worst drug?
Your answers are going to be a very opinionated of course, and there is nothing wrong with that. I think PCP is the worst drug. I’ve never done it, but the effects can even lead to death. Of course, the effects have to do with the dosage but still. These are the effects wikipedia shows and what i read first.

Prescription Drug Abuse Help: Prescription Drug Abuse and Pill Withdrawal

Prescription Drug Abuse, or pill addiction as it is commonly called, and, ultimately, ‘pill withdrawal’ have been with us since doctors began prescribing drugs, but has become more widespread since the advent of the ‘repeat prescription’ or ‘refill’, whereby patients can have a prescription renewed without having to visit their doctor. This can be as simple for many people as visiting a pharmacy and filling out a form giving their name, address and the drug they want. This is then returned to the surgery for the doctor to countersign. The problem is that these can often be signed as routine, rather than consideration being given to the need, and so facilitating prescription drug abuse.

Can I Live With My Grandparents?

Question by Britney: Can I live with my grandparents?
I am 17 years old and my mom has moved 3 times in the past 3 years and she wants to move again. You see what happened was my mom was living with her boyfriend and he did a whole bunch of drugs and he was an alcoholic and he would come home in the middle of the night and argue and abuse my mom. My siblings and I had to go to multiple court hearings and we even had the state come to our school and question us about what happened at home, they wanted to take us away from my mom but my mom always told us to be careful about what we say to them or we’ll never see her again. So, Like she said I didn’t tell them everything that went on and my mom left the house we were living in to move in with my grandparents, While her boyfriend is in rehab, We’ve been living here for almost a year. But you see, He is about to get out of rehab and I’m certain that she’s only moving out so he’ll have a place to live and everything is going to happen all over again. I do not want to move with my mom. I lived with her and her boyfriend’s nonsense since I was in the 5th grade and I’m a senior this year. I have my own room living with my grandparents, and my mom wants me to move into a house where I’ll have to share a room with my brother AND sister.
