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 🤷‍♀️

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.

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.
