The problem with downers is, they will make you calm and accepting of destroying your life.
With coke, meth, pyros, dissos, etc, you will begin to actually hurt before you've reached true addiction. Nightmares and fear will be a part of your life.
With downers, the fear leaves you until you're head-deep in hell, and climbing out takes weeks of pain and torment as your body loses access to the chemistry that makes you feel like you're not breaking apart.
Alcoholism wasted my father away to less than a corpse. Brilliant MASTER electrician that could wire a house up in a day, wasted by liquor.
I've seen benzos waste more poor fucks than I can count and opioids even more. It's even worse in cities where constant over-exposure to stimuli makes people feel the need for something to cut the sensation down a bit.
