Using those can be a death sentence. Note that suffering the withdrawal from them is often fatal. Taking opioids is even worse though as one is likely to overdose on an even smaller dosage.

@ClanNaFiacaillApWythe Note that death from benzo withdrawal is not a recognized danger. Alcohol kills very effectively in withdrawal but is the only drug known to directly cause death in an individiual while in withdrawal. And opioids come in all strangths, from a strong Advil to an elephant tranquilizer, so not all opioids are created equal.
