Doctors are really stupid in MANY cases. They don't prescribe Benzos because they are not "safe" but prescribe much more dangerous medications which need to be taken DAILY instead of as needed which cause obesity, heart disease (the LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH) liver disease, diabetes, brain shrinkage and more. As if adding obesity to a list of an anxious persons problems is a good idea. Making them need to starve off hunger constantly and develop unhealthy relationships with food which we need for survival. You can take a whole bottle of Benzos and likely have nothing happen.....take a whole bottle of lithium and you're in for a world of problems.

Doctors have gigantic egos far too often and are good at regurgitating average easy ideas while not so good at real independent thought. I've always been more impressed with creative types....math was easy for me but writing a novel takes real independent thought. I can learn concrete math ideas with ease but couldn't write a novel to save my life. Becoming a doctor is usually a sign a persons had a Kush, Kush life than being honestly intelligent.....they do some stupid stuff like thinking Benzos are less safe than the crap they push without a second thought. If someone tries to numb themselves with drugs of any kind the solution is finding out why THAT PERSON is doing so instead of punishing many people for the medical condition that person suffers with.

People who whine about other people taking Benzos don't offer solutions, they just think it's their right to force other people to suffer. Many are judging people because they think they are getting "high". I can smoke a jount and function MUCH better than most afterwards and NOBODY would be able to tell. Without smoking it I'm often crippled in pain and anxiety. I was a gymnast and could do flips on a balance beam so I have better than average hand eye coordination. I should start judging sober people for being less capable than I am when I'm supposedly "stoned". I'm just going to start smoking pot again and wait for the rest of the stupid world to catch up and realize that not EVERYONE feels like they do when taking the SAME drug. It's not rocket science but getting people to wake up is beginning to feel like a lost cause.
