I do use benzos for recreationally occasionally, because sometimes they do give some kind of gaba pleasure, the sedation and relaxed feeling, but other times it make me feel crappy. It depends on benzo, etziolam in my experience gives even euphoric feeling and very nice gaba relaxation. Yes for me too alcohol sometimes gives even GHB like high for a short time, especially when drinking high quality vodka, but very rarely. Sometimes even one beer gives nice relaxation, but most times it makes me feel not good, like bad unclean high of benzos.
Opium is only opioid I ever have liked along with kratom, I've tried oxycodone and fentanyl and 10 other differnet opioids (never heroin I don't try it even if offered money), they weren't for me, but oh the nice poppy, that was my daily companion for three years, had to quit eventually it started to cost too much and I got very bad migraine headache for 2 days every now and then from it. I still use it time to time, but then I need pregablin to take 5 day mild wd hungover away. But I really miss kratom, I haven't done it for over 10 years, because its very hard to get in here, well maybe next time when I go to SE-Asia I find someone who has it.
Last year I found that GBL gave me even greater pleasure than ever before (I had 6 years break from it because of availability), even better than first time very very euphoric high much better than what you get from speed. I really like it, but there is no GBL available to buy in my local market, so I haven used it for a long time, I still try to find some 20ml GBL just for few day use and enjoy it all over again.
Interesting me pregabalin makes first stimulated but after that sedated, it varies, sometimes the effect is different than normally, one time it even felt like opioid high, all depends on tolerance too ofc, it's interesting drug.
