Well they aren't bullshit addictions in the sense that they can't ruin someone's like but the danger is indeed less acute. Quitting booze and benzos cold turkey causes brain damage in the best case and will kill you in the worst case. Even traditional hard drugs like coke and heroin are nothing compared to GABA-agonists in terms of risk.
