So hard to choose but when i think about me , my friends, people i know/used to know, people i know who are dead now, stories i hear on here and experience. it would have to be ....
Benzos .
They trick you the first few times by providing the best "fix" for anxiety ever imagined. I loved the first few times i did them .
Within a month-4 tolerance builds and theres rebound anxiety from it . you take more. and more and more. Well most do . But eveneutally you realize fuck what am i doing and why am i being so stupid.... I did stop eventually . some don't and continue.
When you can't get benzos you drink too which is even worse for you imo . and damn are benzos hard to get where I'm from if you are dependent on them.
If you don't exercise on the regular with them . (they make exercise harder btw) they physically ruin your muscles, cardio system, brain, bone density, muscle tone over time to the point where your dying slowly.
They actually increase mental fog by 100%, give you mad rebound anxiety that you have to face sometimes years of in abstinence before you see any impovements. Your memory becomes like a fish. Nothing else works really to solve it .
Some people who do benzos can't handle responsible use of them either so they take tonnes or more than needed everyday sometimes. Get themselves into situations a lot of the time bad. Become violent. Forget they did things. etc. This can effect their quality of life and others.
And because they are addicted would do stupid things for them like many other types of drug addictions.
Benzos have also shown to hold carcinogenic properties as well.
So instead of being dead, and fiending like from an OD of heroin or crack instead your just in this state of "why the fuck am i not be dead cuz I'm not pretty much useless without this piss" after some long term benzo use hits you innocent body mahwa. its not funny though
