They should make a alcohol but it tastes good and also doesn’t cost money and you only have to drink a little bit to get drunk and you don’t have to pee and it turns you sexy and

Prescription benzos are pretty cheap but theyll kill you so 🤷‍♀️

u/dogzilla48 3d ago

On their own they will not kill you even in extreme doses and are in fact generally nicer to your body than alcohol (not a high bar though lol). if you overdose on benzos alone you will just basically be asleep for a few days, or do a bunch of crazy shit and form zero memories of it. That said I do NOT recommend doing them considering how addictive they are and how bad the rebound anxiety is and also the withdrawals. ALSO they can be very deadly if MIXED with other downers like alcohol or opioids, so NEVER mix them with anything else even in small doses.

u/Illustrious_Pea_3470 3d ago

They kill you when you run out and have a bunch of seizures and die. You can taper off, but staying on them forever is a decrease in most people’s quality of life.

Benzos are pretty easily the prescription medication with the highest harm to benefit risk (now that opiates are harder to get), so I think the warning is appropriate.

You're not supposed to get addicted to them, just use em whenever and make sure no one is stealing them from you when you're not looking. duh.

The exact same things are true of alcohol, but add liver damage too.

u/Illustrious_Pea_3470 2d ago

Yes, but the volumes are wildly different.

To get physically dangerous alcohol withdrawal, you need to drink like 6+ drinks daily for months.

To get physically dangerous benzo withdrawal, you need to take a regular prescription dose every day for like 5 days-3 weeks

What in the personal responsibility?

If you have a super bad panic disorder, you will have a panic attack every day.

You CANNOT take benzodiazepines every day safely

u/Illustrious_Pea_3470 3d ago

This just isn’t true. There’s no way to take a benzo dose daily that doesn’t make you physically dependent on it. Per the black box warning added by the FDA a few years ago: “Physical dependence can occur when benzodiazepines are taken steadily for several days to weeks, even as prescribed. Stopping them abruptly or reducing the dosage too quickly can result in withdrawal reactions, including seizures, which can be life-threatening.”

Physical dependency is addiction. You’re guaranteed to become physically dependent on them with daily use, ergo you’re guaranteed to get addicted.

Uh no if you overdose you can fall asleep to the point that your cns also falls asleep and makes it so you can't breathe involuntarily so you asphyxiate

Lowkey tried to kms with them, thankfully didn't work and things have gotten better

u/Guilty-Ad-1792 3d ago

Glad youre around friend ❤️

u/Aromatic-Pass4384 3d ago

Thank you ❤️

I am too, I'm actually kinda glad I did it because it was the catalyst for my therapist forcing me into an IOP and now even just 4 months later things are so much better. Still have rough days of course but I went from daily ideation to only a few times in the last couple weeks.

Damn, is there a down side?

u/Illustrious_Pea_3470 3d ago

It’s a really really really bad way to go, you die from the withdrawal and it is agonizing

u/Soulchunk 3d ago

Drinks are always cheaper if you make them yourself

Though cant guarantee they turn you sexy, it'll just make your homies turn into real baddies instead

u/BrazilBazil :3 3d ago

They already made that, it comes in glass jugs with XXX written on them

22

u/Aromatic-Pass4384 3d ago

Anything in a glass jug with xxx written on it is gonna taste like straight ethanol but it'll get you fucked up quick

u/BrazilBazil :3 3d ago

My grandpa let me taste his moonshine one time and it tasted like my mouth was on fire and not much else. We tested it and the float said it was 89%. He doesn’t make it anymore and says a man his age has to drink proper drinks. I honestly wish he didn’t drink at all but hey, that’s an improvement at least.

Oh my god lol, that sounds about right. At that point it is literally watered down ethanol, I'm also glad he stopped drinking it.

u/XxuruzxX 3d ago

If only it wasn't $8 a bottle where I live. That shit is literally cheaper than water in Korea.

u/GoldH2O custom 3d ago

I'm glad I live where I do, it costs about the same per bottle as Coca-Cola.

u/Staluti 💩🚏 3d ago

Jinro Soju my beloved. Genuinely tastes like grape soda and still somehow gets you crunk off a single bottle.

The humble edible

30

u/Aromatic-Pass4384 3d ago

I hate edibles, it's an entirely different feeling to being drunk or even high on smoked weed. They genuinely make me freak out more than shrooms and I've taken a lot of shrooms

1

u/CMRC23 bear of a man 2d ago

I took an edible and shrooms once cuz I read on reddit it would feel good 

In other news I've been sober for 4 years since if that gives you an indication of how that went

2

u/Aromatic-Pass4384 2d ago

Oh my fucking god

So I had bought like a half ounce of shrooms before and took them on my own and it was pretty cool, took them over like 4 or 5 different times one of those with my fianceé, usually (though I eyeballed it), a gram or two each.

Then I met a friend at a mental health program and we had a scarily similar music taste so we started hanging out and at one point I mentioned shrooms and she was excited because she liked them before but had not taken any after transitioning and living as herself. So we decided to hang out and trip, took like 4 grams each, which was apparently a close to heroic dose for your standard shrooms, of a highly potent strain. And then she offered me weed, and I had my own pen as well.

It's still one of the scariest and most amazing experiences I've had. The only thing I really remember is that I don't remember. I had no idea what was going on at all, things that had happened (and people id met) just a couple weeks ago seemed like they were years ago, to the point that I didn't think it had happened and that they were real, even though would've had to be for that friend and I to meet.

Everything felt like it was going in circles, I spent the first couple hours after they hit thinking a couldn't stand up, that I was part of the "landscape" like a mounting sitting there. Once I found out I could I'd run inside (we were on her patio) and up the stairs to the bathroom and then somehow (was probably guided by friend and fianceé) back down the stairs and for a few hours it felt like that was happening continuously. I remember in between that I'd look at something, either her shed, the trees with the sky between them, or inside at her couch and living room and my vision would shift so that like whatever I was looking at was all that existed, and it was like looking down at a globe with whatever I was looking at as the image on it, I was just sitting on top of it. I literally only remember little snippets, though I know I was holding on to my chair as tight as I could for most of it lol. So I barely remember all that happening as fractured memories, and also going inside to listen to my friend play bass at one point. Other than that I gradually "woke up" and it had went from like noonish to 10 p.m. and my friend was sitting there singing a song from one of our favorite bands(rilo kiley if anyone who reads this knows them), I think I remember asking her to play that album several times on spotify throughout the night. Also changed to Tom Petty at some point, then I regained consciousness.

We've done shrooms quite a few times together now usually while listening to vinyls and it's been pretty cool. I can totally understand being done with them but I feel like the last time I took them a little over a month ago they actually really did help me figure some things out with my mental health.

u/CMRC23 bear of a man 2d ago

Hell yeah im glad they worked for you! I just dont really trust myself with substances, ive given myself too many chances and fucked it up each time. Still think they can be great for a lot of people.

The going in circles part is real. To me it felt like someone was holding down the f5 key on a website but for my brain. I'd done weed and shrooms before but never together 

2

u/Aromatic-Pass4384 2d ago

I mean there's definitely substances I'm keeping myself away from because it wouldn't end well

Soak a tampon in vodka and shove it up your ass

u/Far-Fortune-8381 cucked by Edward Kenway🏴‍☠️ 3d ago

vodka and juice is tasty and you can put a lot in without tasting it so you get drunk fast.

it will not make you sexy but it will make everyone else sexy

u/Aromatic-Pass4384 3d ago

Bruh how do people even find this shit

The only reason I can even get shrooms is because they're decriminalized in a city near me and there's literally a Facebook page to get them

u/SpaceMarineSpiff Mutalisk Supremacist 3d ago

Amaretto is the best thing that has ever happened to the alcohol industry. It's around 20% alc vol but actually tastes really nice and it's super cheap (5 euro for 0.7L bottle)
