Which drug is more harmful, Crystal Meth or Cocaine?

Question:

Answers:
Methamphetamine, a synthetic drug known as 'crystal meth', 'ice' or 'Tina', is even more addictive than crack cocaine or heroin.

In high doses, methamphetamine causes irritability, insomnia, confusion, hallucinations, anxiety, paranoia and increased aggression. In even higher doses, hypothermia and convulsions can cause death.

When the body is stimulated by methamphetamine, the drug can cause irreversible damage. The increased heart rate and blood pressure damage blood vessels in the brain, which can cause strokes, or irregular heart beat, which can cause cardiovascular collapse and death. By vastly increasing the release of dopamine, methamphetamine appears to damage brain cells, eventually reducing the amount of dopamine available to the brain, causing symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease and severe depression, or both.

neither

Both are, but Crystal Meth is worse, it effects your nervous system really fast, so I hear. Crystal Meth is far more addictive than Cocaine

Which way of killing yourself is worse - jumping off a 1000 ft. cliff or jumping into the ocean with a 100 lb. weight strapped to your waist?

Both are very harmful, however Meth is easier to come across and has a 85% first time user addiction rate, with only a 3% recovery rate.
