I agree with you but both meds are highly addictive and usage escalates in both cases causing problems like overdose. My deepest sympathies go out to the many victims of opioid and the benzodiazepines that they treat you with are just as bad hence an epidemic of overdoses. It’s just a major injustice to treat addicted people with another highly addictive drug that is also creating another huge problem for those of us who use it, I have had personal experiences with these meds so I can speak for myself but if you look into benzodiazepines discussions you can get a clear idea of why I made my comment.
