Dont get me wrong. Glad he's back. But isn't the incongruity just glaring?
couldve been honest with us the whole time he was on them? Like Steve-0?
How many lectures/events do you think he gave off his tits on Benzos? :)

I don't follow Peterson, but I watched his "I'm Home" video. I'm not upset he was on them as prescribed from a doctor, but it sounds like he was abusing them? He didn't specifically say that but kinda seemed that way. If that's the case, it's hard not to say it's hypocritical.
He was doing everything he was told to by his psychiatrist, the reason he had massive withrdawal symptoms is because he had a rare reaction to benzos which caused withdrawal symptoms even though he didn't change his dose, his family has a rare autoimmune disorder as well which may have been a factor. Benzos are very addicting even on a low dose and he was on a high dose and forced to withdrawal cold turkey due to this. This is all in his and his daughters previous updates, I haven't watched the brand new video, but he has stayed consistent with his message, he has always advocated for medication to help with mental illness which is the job of a psychiatrist. Whether you agree with him or not is another matter, but he is in no way a hypocrite because he had an adverse reaction to prescribed medication.
Yeah that's what I was saying, if he wasn't abusing them then it's not hypocritical. I just don't follow him enough to know whether he was or not.
