Nutt is a neuro­psychopharmacologist, former UK chief drug
adviser, and author of Drugs Without the Hot Air, Drink?,
Cannabis, and Psychedelics. He built the first evidence-based
Drug Harm Scale, ran the world’s first LSD brain-scan, and is now
engineering hangover-free “alcohol” with GABA science.Drug policy
often punishes the wrong substances. In this rapid-fire tier-list
episode, Nutt ranks ten headline drugs—LSD to fentanyl—by
real-world harm, exposing how politics, potency and route of use
twist our perceptions and our laws.Expect to learn why alcohol
and tobacco still out-kill every illegal drug, how MDMA became
both a rave staple and a prescription therapy, the science behind
ketamine’s antidepressant buzz and its bladder danger, why 2 mg
of fentanyl can be fatal, how smoking vs injecting changes heroin
risk, what makes high-THC cannabis a new drug entirely, the true
neurotoxicity story of cocaine, why psilocybin and LSD aren’t
addictive, how Sentia mimics a glass of wine without the damage,
and much more…Timestamps:00:00 Intro 00:55 LSD09:55 MDMA24:16
