Warning about benzos / r/TheBarbarians

I just browsed through r/TheBarbarians and this was the first post I saw...

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBarbarians/comments/3iilel/big_fuck_upor_more_like_im_a_dumbass/

Basically a OP was giving someone a ride. He had a previous opiate addiction, and the guy who he was driving happened to have some heroin on him. OP then proceeded to beat the shit out of the guy for no real reason then lost his car.

Please stay away from benzos. It changes you as a person and you can really hurt people in your life. I grew up while my dad was having a Xanax addiction and it was not pleasant. That type of mindless aggression seen in the post is not uncommon with a benzo addiction.

What are your thoughts on that subreddit?

It's one of my favorite subs. Watching a bunch of irresponsible twats fuck their lives up has a certain kind of train wreck quality. I love watching btards ruining their lives.

Like the asshole mentioned in the op. He does a hit and run because he has drugs in the car and then attacks his friend while driving and somehow loses his car loaded with drugs, and is pissy because the cops won't help him find it.

This guy will be in jail soon, he doesn't even seem to realize the multiple times he fucked up and almost got himself busted.

It couldn't be happening to a better person. I love his racist comment blaming the asain guy in front of him for slamming on his brakes. The idiot doesn't realize that this is his fault no matter how much the guy slams on his brakes. Just a racist,tailgating, violent, dickhead who drives high.

I'm not sure how this is at all relevant to this subreddit. We aren't here to talk about addiction and drug prevention. Everybody should know what they're getting into when they do a certain drug, if not that is just foolish. IMO blame the person, not the drug in this story.

Xanax powder is seriously so dangerous. Obviously. But I'm a drug hoarder and just needed it even though I'm a psychedelic guy. So I had a crazy night a few nights ago and had some spillage due to a bag of MXE not being sealed. So in the morning there was powder on my table that I thought was MXE. I don't even know how the xanax got on the table but in the morning I basically took a thumbprint of xanax powder and instantly knew I fucked up...you know the taste is pretty distinct. I was with a few friends and they wanted me to go to the ER right away. I was really hesitant to go there and give up so much information to the hospital. I told them to take me to the hospital but only take me in if I passed out. They eventually convinced me to just go and get checked out. After being there for a little over a hour I surprising wasn't that fucked up, even though I know I had taken at least 30 mg of alp. They put me on an IV and monitored me and made me list the drugs I had done. I was really hesitant because the list is basically alphabet soup of obscure ass shit but eventually I told them what I had been taking the days before even though I felt all they needed to know was that I hadn't taken any other CNS depressants and I know that the LD50 of xanax on its own is very high. At this point I had to be at work in four hours and didn't feel that fucked up.

Against everyone's advice I discharged myself and decided I had to go to work. I took an adderall to counteract the massive accidental overdose and hopped in the shower to get ready for work. Then it all hit me at once and I passed out. I fell out of the shower and bashed my head off my sink. I was knocked out for a pretty long time and when I came to I was late for work, my sink was shattered and I was bleeding everywhere. I completely freaked out and had to call my parents and come clean with them about everything. They took me back to the hospital to get taken care of.

I don't know the status of my job but I'm so worried that I'm going to lose it now because I was already close because of my shitty attendance. Benzo powder is seriously dangerous stuff even if you're not addicted and have to worry about withdrawal. I'm so ashamed of myself because normally I'm very responsible in my drug use and now my life is probably fucked because of a freak accident.

The crazy thing is that everything probably worked out for the better, I might lose my job now but if I had gone into work like that I would have been gone that day. Now I have a fighting chance because I have discharge papers saying I had head trauma rather than a massive accidental overdose. Who knows but seriously guys, benzo powder is not to be fucked with. Just stay away.

Stay away if you don't like it. Let the bartards have their fun.

Lmao, check out this one.

Benzos are some shit. I had about a month long habit before money thankfully ran out. The w/ds were fucking hell.

To be fair though, benzos are the best drugs you can do to pick up women. 1mg of xanax and you'll approach any bitch with confidence that even the most skilled players can't muster.

Edit: Don't do coke with it btw, stims + benzos led to me yelling at some girl incomprehensibly fast while my eyes were dilated out of my skull. I wasn't even mad at her, I was just so excited and far too into hearing myself talk.

I'm a meth user but I came across some Xanax once and was pumped cause benzos are supposed to be God for comedowns, which they were but I'm glad I didn't continue that, when I was in the psych ward I roomed with a dude who was in there for benzo/alcohol batshit crazy stuff, definitely a drug where you can get out of hand with real real fast, stay safe out there, and God help us all stay away from benzo abuse.

To each his own.

With discipline and moderation benzos can be a huge help to some people's life. Of course it's going to be awful if you're popping them all day. Try .5-1.0 mg as needed and you can life a perfectly normal life.

You realize that sub is mostly for people flipping bars and not fiends? Shit half the important people there don't even use xanax.
