I have no problem with that - I agree that most of the fear tactics in the war on drugs are pretty much unfounded and unwarranted. But it's not just all govt. fear-mongering and the war on drugs. I was just trying to point out the biological facts. Sometimes there is a basis for a little healthy fear. And I don't quite understand why it seems there is so much hostility towards science and research. Yeah, it can be used for bad purposes, but so can anything else. Skepticism is healthy, and I certainly don't have blind faith in science or anything else. But sometimes scientists do know what they're talking about. Based on my knowledge of biology (I have completed a degree in biology), I personally don't think mixing benzos and alcohol is a good idea.
Mostly, I just don't want to see someone hurt because they read here that there's no point in listening to drug warnings because it's all scare tactics. There is science supporting the warnings. People can make their own decision from there. I just wanted to make sure people were informed and knew the science, that's all.
But I'm beginning to be pretty sure that it doesn't matter what I tell people, their minds are made up anyway, so finding out a little biology they may not have known won't change that. I'm sorry for trying to inform people. I feel like my experiences don't matter, only the opinions of others that support what people want to do and believe. So I'm sorry for sharing my experiences. I'll try not to let it happen again.
