Ya benzos are literally EVERYWHERE! I can think of at least 15-16 people I know personally who are on those. Zombie pills we call them ,

I agree they are probably over prescribed.
The reason for the shift is that with barbiturates there is a fine line been a therapeutic dose and a lethal dose.
Benzos are still dangerous but youāve got a bigger window.
I donāt even like them tbh.
Iām not going into any ārantā here but gotta toss in my two cents lol
Just my opinion, mind yas, But here it is. A lot of the barbituates are and were used for pain, any pains, etc we called em ādownersā back in the 70s. Folks get hooked on them really easily and any doc would toss em at you in a heartbeat.
I had to shut down a doctor that almost got my wife hooked by prescribing them so much for her pain. Sheās had 41 surgical procedures in the 40 yrs weāve been together. 7 if them in 10 days!
I just feel itās better to treat the cause, rather than the symptoms.!
OK, Iām off the soapboxā¦ 
editā¦ She has thanked me for stepping in when I did alsoā¦

@DougDawson i pm you.
Yeah the 70ās were definitely outrageous. I remember taking seconal back then that would take you two steps forward and three steps backwards. It was a different time. Always looking for the buzz. Pot, mescaline, reds, white crosses black mollies, peyote and shrooms. It was all fair game. Probly shoulda died.

Hell brotha, in the 70ās, I did dieā¦ a few times ODād I got cleaned and never looked back. Itās only my marijuana for me! No one ever died from that!! serious munchies, yesā¦uncontrollable laughter, yesā¦ Die? nope
When I came home from Nam in Dec '69, I did everything known to man, for a decade!
editā¦ I still look back and just shake my head, because I canāt help but wonder how in the hell I managed to make it to now! lol

Thanks for being in the Nam, brother. I went into the Army in 1972 and all thru basic and AIT we were told we were headed to Vietnam. By the time I got out of AIT and Airborne training at Ft. Bragg, the war in Nam was winding down and troops were headed home. I ended up in Europe. Met a lot of guys that had been to Nam and weāre finishing out their enlistments in Europe. Stories were incredible.

Sounds like our OxyContin epidemic of nowadays. A true nightmare that has killed probably millions, destroyed millions of lives, and hurt OH SO MANY children because of their parents addictions. I have personally witnessed the desecration it has caused. Have lost friends and family, and was even on them myself a long while back,( prescribed) took me 4 years to get off of those bastards. They definitely are a miracle drug for cancer patients and such but were given for everything. I have a friend whoās 16 year old son was given them after a tooth extraction! Like come on! I was prescribed them for back pain/muscle spasms and sciatic nerve pain. They worked, almost too well as I could not live without them, next thing you know , I was like āI donāt need these anymore, Iāll just smoke lots of honey oilā ya right, within 12 -13 hours I was sick, oh so sick and it got worse and worse until I popped another 40mg oxy. That day was a sad sad realization. I was completely f@&!$@.Thank God I have two boys and a wife to live for, or it may have taken everything and ruined me, And it was a complete nightmare getting off. Fast forward 8 years, its still a huge issue EVERYWHERE, and I witness the devastation daily and try and help when and where I can by preaching the good word of CANNABIS and itās endless medicinal qualities. It just works, for almost anything. Just need to find your right strain, and amount of or method of consumption

Ahhh mescaline, I found a giant ziploc bag full to the brim of some crazy pink mescaline in the early 90ās stashed in a metal box , in a hole in a cinder block wall. That was a fun couple of months, and a very profitable one too.
