Not attempting to be uncritical of benzodiazepines, they can indeed be dangerous. Just trying to specify that they are not addictive in the same way. My understanding is that when they are abused in the sense of getting high, it’s usually in conjunction with opiates or other illicit drugs.

This is perhaps a more critical review, but still specifies the difference between physical and psychological dependence.
