Victims reveal the human cost of ‘High Street drugs’
PARTY drug GBL claimed another victim at the weekend when mum Lynette Nock died after taking it at a wake. Lynette, 28, was at a gathering to remember pal Carl Fearon, 24, who had been found dead at his flat last Saturday after taking the same drug. GBL — gamma-butyrolactone — was banned in 2009, after links to four deaths, but had been marketed as a legal high.
Benzo Fury
SOLD AS: “Research chemical pellets”.
COST: £15 per pill.
STATUS: Legal.
LAUREN THOMPSON, 26, took legal high Benzo Fury to help her lose weight and beat tiredness.
Lauren, a former admin assistant, from St Austell, Cornwall, said: “In April 2011 I was doing long shifts handling admin and phone work at a call centre. “I suffer from body dysmorphia and was constantly snacking during shifts, going from a size eight to a 14. I hated myself. “My friends complained I wasn’t keeping up with them when we went clubbing and I was constantly tired. “I was desperate to lose weight so I went on to an internet forum where other women were talking about Benzo Fury. It’s completely legal and forum members said it suppressed the appetite.
