[Benzos are] not only a great amnestic, it’s also apparently one of the most heavily prescribed drug classes historically, and used recreationally - which puts very strong lower bounds on the drug’s safety in practice, and means it’s probably readily available.

I thought Thatcher on Acid was a band from the 80s, not the EAies' approach to economic policy
