Earlier this year, that there was a new drug being used around UNC Charlotte. Etizolam is an analogue, similar to benzoids like Valium. The authorities sourced in that article warned that Etizolam was being abused increasingly across campuses nationwide. Unfortunately, the spread of the drug is hard to measure. Due to Etizolam causing memory loss, and the stigma still associated with sexual assault cases, incidents of date rape with the drug are underreported. While Schedule IV substances like Xanax have been around long enough for information on it to be widespread, there aren’t many channels to share information on new compounds.
Etizolam is commonly used as a substitute for antianxiety drugs. As with benzoids, users become more relaxed and less inhibited after taking etizolam. It is easily accessible online; the research chemical is sold in bulk in places like India. An order for 1000 pills can be purchased for $180 in some sites. The compound is virtually tasteless and sold commonly as a white powder. If a dose or two of etizolam was dropped in a strong drink, the drinker probably couldn’t tell the difference. Unlike GBL which has a strong gasoline or oily taste.
With alcohol in the mix, the effects and risks of etizolam increase. This creates a very dangerous situation for the user. The etizolam molecule differs from a benzodiazepine in that the benzene ring in the latter is replaced by a thiophene ring. The ring makes etizolam a thienodiazepine. Thienodoazepines possess amnesic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. They also can cause memory loss, as many anesthetics, and taking etizolam with alcohol can induce blackout periods for the user. If the user is unaware of the etizolam, they won’t know they have to try to curb its side effects.
These experiences should never be a part of anybody’s life, regardless of how they choose to unwind from a stressful life. However, even if we had all the knowledge at hand to know which substances and questionable actions to avoid or report, there’s no guarantee that some compound with a new and nefarious use won’t come up in the future. The best we can do to stay ahead, in a world full of changes, with new things both marvelous and worrisome at each corner, is to stay informed. We must seek the knowledge, and help those who can use a tip to improve. Staying informed.
