yeah, agreed—benzos are on my list of drugs to never take if I can possibly avoid it, along with opiates. By temporary, I just mean “recoverably”. many drugs society considers sus or terrible I consider mostly fine if risks are managed, but that generally involves how to avoid addiction, and means using things at non-recreational-does levels. Benzos are hard to do that with because, to my cached understanding, the margin between therapeutic and addictive doses is very small.
