@Crestfallen,
I have a theory, that I cannot prove, just experience, now with 14 years of ordering meds online from International Operating Pharmacies,
and the significant downward fall in quality I have observed.
My theory, is with the ease of obtaining Phenazepam, the temptation, to substitute, from .5mg to 2 to 5 mg would be a daunting task to try
to overcome.WHY? Greed and quick profit. My theory is that in the here and now, many consumers, are not getting what they are paying for,
either in cheap harmless fillers, "bunk pills", or, the deliberate substitution, of Phenazepam, from a dose of .5 mg to 1 mg to who knows, as
much as 2 or 3 mg. When the consumer, suspects, that the pills are weak, or do not feel, like their addiction to say Diazepam, alprazolam,
Clonazepam, etc, the temptation, to take two or three, or four of the often excellently copied blisterpacked, and correct shape and ID codes of
the purchased benzo, is what I call "bait and switch". For the mass wholesaler, it is a way to enhance profits, quickly, without, placing a
massive amount of Phenezepam, to harm someone fatally. The memory erasing effects of this drug is one reason I am suspicious. I have
had dealings with IOP's, many, many now closed down, from all parts of this world, with one time active websites. "Martindale is the ultimate authority on ethical meds manufactured in modern industrialized nations"

QUOTE "Severe intoxication resulting from the abuse of a 400 to 600 mg dose of Phenazepam, (usual dose is one milligram).
My theory is with so very many dud or, weak benzodiazapines on the world market now, the temptation, to take 3 to 5 of counterfeit pills,
dressed in the appropriate blister packs, and with the appropriate embossments, can easily fool any experienced, or inexperienced user of
benzo's. The danger is not so much fatal, as the memory erasing effects, and, Martindate, states "in Sweden, one individual still had
symptoms at 14 days. The normal half life is 60 hours". Phenazepam is dirt cheap, and, a easy quick way, to use as a filler for, otherwise,
a more popular worldwide benzodiazepine, like Xanax, Xanor, Tafil, Valium, Rivotril, Lexotanil, Stillnox, or Ambien, Ativan, etc.
