Yeah. I knew that. A usual "female" addiction career starts with alcohol and ends with benzos. Then it starts. Then it ends. Then it starts again. Then it ends.

Then they combine this shit. Then it ends. Then it starts again. Then they go to the psych ward for the first time. ...

You get the picture. It is surely not a game you want to start playing. I viewed more than a handful times when they couldn't get off this stuff because it is emotionally very destabilising.

Benzos are way mightier than you would assume, imo. The tend to "magnify" every other psychic problem you may or may not have from my experience.

Benzos and opioids are the worst. In the future, humanity will look back with great shame on what modern medicine is doing with these drugs. Peoples lives are being completely wrecked for pharma profits, under the guise of helping them. It's disgusting.

That's rough, I feel bad for Jordan Peterson and what he's going through.

I'm glad he seems to have gotten things in a good place lately at least. But man he should've known not to start regularly taking benzos... he even said himself he should've known because he's in the field.

People have got to be seriously on their toes about this stuff. The people making money from these things are not our friends.
