There's two drugs that will kill you when you get off of them. He goes, it's alcohol and benzodiazepine. Those are the two that if you just quit, you'll f***ing die. Or you wish you would. Meanwhile, they're handing those things out like Tic Tacs. So now just to clarify something that Joe Rogan said,

death from benzodiazepine withdrawal is actually rare. Death is more commonly associated with use of benzodiazepines than withdrawal from benzodiazepines. The way that use of benzodiazepines can lead to overdose and death is typically when it's combined with other downers like alcohol. That's why people say never drink alcohol when you're taking benzodiazepines. And also certain substances that also can depress the central nervous system like opioids.
