There was a tea bar in my neighborhood that would put kratom in one of the teas.

It didn't make me feel particularly euphoric, but I did find myself craving it the next day. Shit is fucking weird and scary.

It isn't a terribly difficult drug to quit but it is addictive. Some people use it to wean themselves off of opoids.

> Of the common legal drugs, benzos are by far the most dangerous to quit.

Not sure if that's right. Alcohol withdraw can actually kill you.

They're the same withdrawal... Benzos are just far more potent, so the dependence can happen MUCH faster, in like days.

By the time you've developed alcohol dependence you've most likely gained more than a few comorbidities. That doesn't happen in a week.

Which comorbidities? I am just curious.

Liver disease. Heart disease. Etc.

This looks like a nice bullet point list, easy to digest.

Benzo withdrawal can as well.

Oh, I didn't know.

And again, you get to that state in as little as a week.

Alcohol takes much longer.

There does seem to be some genetic variability at play here. I've known people who were able to quit a benzo cold turkey after taking it for significantly longer than a week.

I took it for two months for sleep and had no issues quitting it besides a few nights of taking longer to fall asleep.
