Jordan Peterson might have originally had a 150 IQ (pretending IQ honestly means much of anything anymore), but he almost certainly doesn't after his detox. The short of it is that he was addicted to benzos, and instead of quitting the old-fashion way, he decided to try a new treatment in Russia where they put you in a coma for the duration of the typical withdrawal period. Theoretically this would be a great way of emergency treatment for hardcore addicts as you can help addicts learn coping mechanisms without having to deal with the withdrawals at the same time. However, in practice he was basically unmonitored the whole time and suffered several seizures and neurological damage.
