I am unfortunately extensively experienced with benzodiazapines, due to an anxiety condition that has mostly passed, and the resultant addiction and horrible withdrawals. What is terrifying to me is that the medical establishment is failing and millions of young men are being denied mental health care routinely. It is going to become commonplace to see these deaths since alcohol is also an anti anxiety drug. Codeine is also essentially OTC, at least for a couple recreational doses per month. At least when you get the medication from a proper psychiatrist it comes in pill format, and when you find out that you throw up after a pill or two and some beers then you become a lot more reluctant to want to try that.

Not to mention that the person actually has a real professional to talk to about their problems, someone who cares.

What is going to happen is that the research chemical market will be targeted as a scape goat because western governments have been ignoring the mental health crisis and view the RC market as a competitor.

It is a very, very sad situation.

I too had a friend who I regretfully had gotten addicted to benzodiazapines, he also has issues with alcohol, but he went through a psychiatrist and seems to be doing fine, quiet and never on facebook but still alive. I've seen many die in my time. Friends at 17, friends at 19, etc, they all died until I stopped doing drugs at age 21 and stopped hanging out with them. Now I'm older and need some ADHD medication and that's why I am here, because I can't get access to a psychiatrist. But it makes my piss boil to see this sort of stuff because in the past I was able to get someone to talk to and it really does increase the sense of responsibility. Absolute unrestricted access to benzodiazapines is retarded.
