How would you rank drugs, in order from tamest to “hardest”?

Personally, I’d order them thusly:

Life
Caffeine
Nicotine
Weed
Alcohol
Salvia
Psychedelics (shrooms before LSD)
Coke/crack
Meth
Benzos (this one’s tricky to place)
Opioids (least potent to most potent)

Maybe I’d put benzos higher up, perhaps at least before meth, I’m not sure.
I didn’t include all of them of course, just ones I’m more familiar with.

From friends that have done been cocaine they say it's not actually that addictive it's not like you'll go through withdrawals if you don't get it but the high you get from it is so awesome it keeps you coming back

@dale74 My oldest brother and numerous paternal second cousins, and one direct younger paternal cousin, have been addicted to cocaine, I have personally seen its effects, it's up there with heroin in its addictive hold and mental damage to the brain and physical damage to the body

@dale74 From the first hit you chase that high. It wears off quickly. It's not like alcohol, you can go to work the next day.
