Benzos How the heck are benzodiazepines addictive?

LOL, what shit did I make up?

Some people are simply not interested in knowledge. They just wanna share their little anecdotes. They want their own beliefs to be confirmed. We love drugs, everything is all good. Well, and when sometimes it's not, we at least want to get a pat on their back.

And when somebody says something you don't want to hear all you do is cry out "source?" That's ridiculous. Why I am more liable to provide references than others? I have other work to do. When I work, I provide sources. When I hang around BL for half an hour, I won't always do that. I may not have the time. I still try to argue scientifically to the best I can. But this is an informal exchange. You can't expect me to regularly point others to references or data. Of course, I'm all happy if somebody volunteers to compile references or data.

Lastly: despite your hostile tone, here's a suggestion for you. Why don't you put "addictive potential" into google, or search a research database (and/or journal database)? You will find that it's the majority opinion that quite a few stims (e.g., cocaine) are considered more addictive than commonly-prescribed benzos.

You will find that it's the majority opinion that quite a few stims are considered more addictive than commonly-prescribed benzos. Obviously, a lot of variables are gonna matter (ROA, etc.) but I tried to make a simple statement. I'm not here to write papers.

tl;dr this constant call "source?" is to be considered trolling. do your own research!

i see a whole lot of typing but no linking to resources... you are right asking for sources on a harm reduction site is trolling (i can't even comprehend your baby boy line of thinking on this one)... "I'm going to post anecdote as fact" is everything that is wrong with online drug forums, I use to do it myself but then I grew up, so once again I ask for a source to a journal to back you what you said... If you are right and the "data" as you called it, is out there and easy to find it, it should be little work for to link me to it and make me look like an asshole on this public forum I respect, so go ahead I'm waiting...

Guys, Now I understand how they are addictive. I was using stims for around 4 years.

gone off them now, or don't care about them.... BUT lets say I would crave the stim, I would have the control to say no, what's the point of feeling weird to the moon,etc..
but if it were benzo's, then YES.i would be like ohhh yea baby, yes please. I would take them with pride.

I get you guys now, sorry thank you.
