Let's not turn this into yet another my-benzo-is-better-than-your-benzo shit.
Be very careful with clonazepam. If Heroin hugs you and says "Hello, I'm here to get you addicted," Then benzos turn their heads and say "I'm not fun at all" and then sneak on your back and stab you with a deadly addiction.
^LISTEN to this guy. He knows exactly what he's talking about; and so do I. I've been battling both heroin and benzo addiction for more then a handful of years now, and without a shread of doubt say that benzo addiction/abuse (from my own experience mind you, along with stories from people alike and what i've read on Bluelight through the years) is/has been a lot more dangerous, putting me in perilous situations, crashing into cars with cars that werent even mine...since my car was already totaled from the month before when i was eating xanax "the crack of benzos"(in the
basic/classic benzo family: i.e. Valium, Klonopin, Xanax..."the big 3" at least)...having some random thug in mexico sticking the tip of a switchblade right at my gut, just barely starting to pierce the skin, yelling at me in spanish for my money and shit...and all I could think of was how pathetic and funny (funny in a "you're pitiful" way) he was, so i just started laughing so hard off the top of my lungs; everyone around the street corner and across the street, etc.. started actually looking at what was going on, the thug with the blade gave me this look I'll never forget...a look like "omg man, you are SO fucked up on drugs that you don't even give a shit if I killed you rightnow...you probably have aids and will pull a dirty needle out on me"....seriously, that's what i saw/felt...and the fucker ran away. I have a point to this.... If benzos can make you that fucked up, well, then IMO they are some hard ass drugs.
Don't let those little "cool"/"cute" blue clean pressed pills that come from a sealed bottle from a well established company fool you. ("Durh." Right?...you'd be surprised)
A handful of valium can be just as equally, if not more dangerous then a shot of heroin. And then there's the whole aspect of actual benzo addiction. Withdrawling from a benzo(s) when you have been abusing the fuck out of them for long enough, yeah you can have some serious seizures, sending your ass to the ICU, hell all the time, the ER, or strait to the morgue..(aka DEATH).
You can't die from heroin/opiate(narcotic) withdrawls. least I don't think you can...haven't ever heard of that happening...a lot of things are possible that I never thought were so then again who knows?...(someone on here does though). Anyways the point is that it's a well known/documented thing that people die from taking too much xanax or some shit, (any benzo really)...it's pretty much ALWAYS because the person mixed the benzo in question with another CNS depressant; alcohol being the obvious most abused/mixed , "benzo death combo". And keep in mind when you take any benzo, let's say some diazepam(valium), 1+1 does not equal 2. Well it depends...this goes for with any drug really. Drugs affect the human body quite differently then most anything else i can think of...everyone's natural body chemistry is different. We all have different rates of metobolism, levels of dopamine, when some people get a cut, it heels a lot faster then others, one single beer can really fuck up some people where as it takes like a 24pack, etc. (and I'm talking about both drug tolerant and non-drug tolerant inviduals.
In the world of downers, 1+1 usually is closer to equalling 3-4.... 2 + 1 (like if you took 2 of something and then later on took 1 more) could easily end up being more like) 2 + 1 = 6-7. Do you get the point? (This isn't directed towards anyone specifically. This is for the common good of anyone that reads this and learns something new...gains some valuable insight.
Did you know that benzos affect the body in a way similar to one (of the many ways) that alcohol affects the body? Benzos are all about hitting up and activating the GABA receptor sites. (You know, the area in your chest where you feel the bulk of all that anxiety/panic attacks [when you have them, etc.])...that's your GABA receptors going hay-wire. (Obviously not every human's GABA receptors are all that perfect...or work as they should)...perhaps it has something to do with the kind of world we have made for ourselves, vs. living out in/with nature? I dunno, and i digress. So anyways, imagine, benzos are pretty much like "freeze dried alcohol". Only, generally speaking, you get NONE of the negative side effects that you do from alcohol, which automatically renders benzos to have a very high abuse potential. That coupled with it's literal physiological side affects/affects (as in injuries, physical and mental, aswell as death), make this class of drugs quite the taint. Unfortunately using pharmacutical drugs to get high is the current more mainstream trend among Americans, especially highschoolers....and none of them use let along even know about sites like Bluelight. The one's that are in highschool that are members here, consider yourself fucking lucky. (and smart to have some rationality and hindsight of the very real possible negatives).
Aight I'm done rambling. To whoever reads this, try to keep this in mind: "less is more"...keep that mentality (gotta actually obtain it and hold onto it first) and you'll automatically, consciously/sub-consciously/and unconsciously have a mental safety buffer always activated in your skull)
If you're not "feeling it", you can always take more, but don't let your patience get up and walk out the door. You should always start off with the smallest amounts of "whatever" possible/a low reccomended medicinal dose is usually/most always a good starting point. And especially if it's your first few times taking a substance...let your metabolism get used to it...you never know, for one thing your metab could activate it all in 15mins and with something else that's similar, it could take up to 4 hours and then smack you in the fucking face. Ok, NOW I'm done rambling.
Peace out.
