Heroin, crack and cocaine topped the list in terms of harm, but alcohol was rated fifth, solvents seventh and tOBacco ninth. Ecstasy came 13th in the harm rating, LSD 16th and cannabis 18th. Thus, the survey found no relationship between the drug's legal status, based on the current classification system, and users' ratings of harm.
