This kid needs to do some research. He’s probably addicted to them that’s why he makes such a dumb comment
I found his comment to be quite refreshing and to the point. Why you feel the need to label him an addict is beyond me – perhaps his comment hit too close to home?
With all due respect, Estefania (nice name by the way), benzos aren’t a toxin, hence why overdose on benzos alone is practically unheard of.
No true Jake, these drugs are brain toxins in a sense if used long-term. I can’t help it if you are addicted and sick to them but I am off these toxins and feeling lots better you moron.
Ok, well, let’s examine what you’ve just asserted as if it’s fact:
A chemical is either a toxin or it isn’t, there is no “in a sense” about it, and it isn’t subject to opinion. Benzos are not a toxin. That’s a scientific fact. Feel free to read-up on what a toxin is and disabuse yourself of your ignorance:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxin
Secondly, I take absolutely no drugs or alcohol, at all, so god only knows what strange ideas you have about other people, nor can I imagine why on earth you’d automatically assume that I’m addicted to benzos merely for being the only one out of the two of us that’s aware of what a toxin is or isn’t.
Happy learning.
Benzos might not kill you but they sneak past the brain’s natural protective defense mechanism (BBB) and wreak havoc on your CNS after awhile because you have now introduced a synthetic chemical that is not naturally present. Sure, you will get a calming effect at first until the brain slowly adapts over time. Then, once tolerance is reached and you start to updose, that is when the true hell begins. If you don’t take benzos or drink booze Jake, why do you hang around m59’s site daily posting nonsense and drivel. You truly must not have much of a life. Get off welfare, get a job, and become a productive citizen like I am. You sit around and enjoy bashing others who are trying to detox from these wicked drugs who are horribly ill beyond your wildest imagination. You are sick Jake…seek help!
Haha. Ok, well, you just keep on living in the little fantasy in your mind, and I’ll keep on living out here in the real world.
I’ve got to go out in a minute but I’ll be back later on to reply to, and laugh some more at, your crazy little rant.
Have a good day in lala land until then. 😃

Aside from your little story being absolutely irrelevant to the issue of whether benzodiazepines are a toxin, you’re preaching benzobuddies rhetoric to the converted. I stopped taking benzos years ago, along with 12 other substances that I’d been using around that time, and obviously I know far more about the topic than you do, so you’re in no position to try and educate me about benzos or any other drug. Even after I provided you the facts about what a toxin is you refuse to acknowledge the reality (which is, by definition, willful ignorance), and instead opted to attack me for taking drugs that I don’t take, but we’ll come onto that more in a moment.
*”If you don’t take benzos or drink booze Jake, why do you hang around m59’s site daily posting nonsense and drivel.”*
Believe it or not, using drugs/alcohol isn’t a requirement of posting here. One can be drug-free and still have their posts approved. Seeing as you don’t understand this simple concept I have no reason to believe that you’d understand my reasons for posting here. HOWEVER, you’re posting here, so using your own logic against you, why are you posting here if you’re not addicted to drugs and alcohol, on welfare and without anything better to do? Oops, you’re retarded insults apply to you, too, don’t they?
*”You truly must not have much of a life. Get off welfare, get a job, and become a productive citizen like I am.”*
As a matter of fact I’m not on welfare, do have a job and am highly productive. You, on the other hand, are ONLY making retarded assertions, being abusive and accusing me of being an addict, as if that’s some kind of slur that didn’t apply to you when you were one. Get off of your high horse.
*”You sit around and enjoy bashing others who are trying to detox from these wicked drugs who are horribly ill beyond your wildest imagination.”*
That’s your biggest value-judgement yet! I don’t bash anyone for trying to detox, but I do use my freedom of speech to criticise an online cult that literally leads people to suicide and has brainwashed my friends. You, well, you just want to act like you’re a victim because you’re addicted to your own neurochemistry. If you don’t like what’s being said here, why are you reading the blog in the first place? Hmm?
“You are sick Jake…seek help!”
On the contrary, I have a clean bill of mental-health after a short spell of going crazy while being a Benzobuddies team member, and I’m not a deluded, spiteful little child that ignores reality and chooses to be a victim of my past drug use. We clearly cannot say the same about you.
So, I’ll reiterate once again that benzos are not a toxin, regardless of causing withdrawal symptoms for a fringe minority of patients, and especially regardless of an angry child like yourself that’s eaten up the Benzobuddies propaganda.
Feel free to try and hurt my feelings some more if it makes you feel superior, I can handle it because I’m not a victim.
Bye bye for now.
Wow. LOL Getting off benzos surely didn’t help improve your personality, Kathy! WHOOPS. Was it worse or better before? In any event, wow. May I suggest a j? Chill. 😉
Jake! Jake! WAIT A MINUTE, BUDDY! (Sorry, no pun intended) how dare you present facts vs. opinion/perception? NOOO! #truthbomb Nice post.
Wait, did you just dare to say the word “facts”? On the Internet?
BURN HER, SHE’S A WITCH.. SILENCE HER AT ALL COSTS! 😉
