Question

Includes all prescription drugs also...

Answer 1

Having tried the following: alcohol, cocaine, methadone, heroin, crack, pot, acid, extacsy, valium, oxycotin, and several others, I can speak with some fair amount of experiance.

The hands down winner is: nicotine.

I've ceased all drug use for the past 3 years...after 20 years of partying, I no longer drink or do drugs.  However, I've tried to quit smoking on numerous occasion with no success.

Answer 2

Answer 5

or meth

Answer 6

Oxygen.

Answer 7

lol i agree oxygen

Answer 8

Nicotine

Answer 9

If we go by the percentage of users who become addicted, then nicotine takes first place easily.  Heroin is solidly second, with cocaine and alcohol also high on the list.

It's worth noting that this study only considered oral forms of amphetamines.  Had they included other forms, methamphetamine may have placed higher than it did.  But it would not have supplanted nicotine.

Answer 10

Depends on the time frame.

In my experience coke/heroin addicts get the highest quickest - with more chance of death by say 40.

Alcholics and nicotine addicts tend to rival each other - to ages 65-70 or beyond.

Prescription drugs such as prozac can have calamitous effects at a much earlier age - all such foreign substances affect different

people in different ways.

As a serious alcoholic I would echo earlier answerers - and comment I find it much more diffcult to get off nicotine than drink.

Answer 11

i am going with cigarettes also,and i like bruce j,s answer,that says it all.peAce.

Answer 12

I would agree that cigarettes are, but I think a very close second would be crystal meth.  I read that it's ten times harder to quit than cocaine.  Also that you can be addicted after doing it only once!

Answer 13

Nicotine. Really.

Answer 14

I know Ativan (Lorazepam) is highly addictive, and incredibly hard to come off..

Answer 15

Caffeine.  It is a stimulant.  It is used in coffee, tea, soda pops and energy drinks.  Considering the fact that over 90% of the worlds population drinks at least one of the above beverages at least once a day, this would make it the most addictive drug.
