Kronic contains phenazepam?

[phase_dancer]

pd, just like stargate? ;-) nyuk nyuk nyuk, but seriously, it needs to be done

To be fair, here's Stargate's response. Perhaps this was a problem of adulterated product coming out of China?? Either way, there needs to be much more responsibility accepted by local importers/ distributors

I didn't really enjoy phenaz that much, but honestly I think the only thing that makes it worse than other benzos is the fact that it comes in powder form, making it hard for people to dose accurately. If it was a pill, I can't see it being any worse than valium or xanax, and probably better than clonazepam.

The amount of phenazepam present didn't sound like it was a great amount, I will have to come back to the mathematics of it later...

Which mother in their right mind would be smoking anything while pregnant?

 

[drug_FUCKED]

Yeah after reading the amounts sounds like the supplier contamination.
Wondering how many substances will get banned because of mr pendergrast's kronic.

 

[Sameria]

^That's fucking gold.

Has the amount of Phenazepam in Kronic been tested / released to the public ?

It wouldn't surprise me, especially if they're getting it from eric, but stargate had/have their own blend out where they didn't list the ingredients so they're in the same boat.

There's only one Aussie vendor I have seen that is transparent, to the point that one of their blends is named after the active ingredients.

Now that it's been brought up, I think there is a good chance there was some kind of benzo in "dust" from that fucking shit shop. There was a definate relaxing type feeling similar to Valium that I became psychologically dependent on. I have never had anything good from that shop and have had some horrific experiences from their products. I am never setting foot in there again. Good riddance.

You can't smoke benzos. This is total bullfuckery.

[NZ] Unaware drug in fake weed - Cosmic

A company ordered to remove a legal alternative to cannabis says it had no idea it contained a prescription drug.

Director-General of Health Kevin Woods ordered Cosmic Corner Limited today not to sell Juicy Puff Super Strength because it contained a benzodiazepine called phenazepam.

The same medicine was found in Kronic Pineapple Express ordered off the shelves by the government on Thursday.

Phenazepam can only be legally supplied when prescribed by a doctor or other prescriber.

However, the company said it was only a retailer of the product and did not manufacture or import the product.

Company spokesman, Mark Carswell said Juicy Puff Super Strength was one synthetic cannabinoid blend out of the fifteen sold by Cosmic to have been contaminated by a small amount, 240 parts per million, of the prescription medicine phenazepam.

The product had been purchased in good faith from an Auckland firm, London Underground, he said.

``Juicy Puff Super Strength is not intended to contain phenazepam, and Cosmic was not aware that it contained phenazepam.''


Cosmic would cooperate with the Ministry of Health to ensure a safe and efficient recall, Mr Carswell said.

People should return all unused Juicy Puff Super Strength product to any Cosmic store and they would be given a store credit.

Industry leaders would meet on Monday to consider a code of practice incorporating a testing standards to ensure materials were screened for contaminants.

Dr Woods said phenazepam could only be legally supplied when prescribed by a doctor or other prescriber.

It was not available in New Zealand and used only in one country for the short-term treatment of anxiety and as an anticonvulsant.

Dr Woods urged people using either recalled product to seek medical help if they felt unwell.

Juicy Puff Super Strength is one of several herbal smoking products containing synthetic cannabinoids.

The prescription medicine in the product was confirmed late last night.

Environmental Science and Research is testing about 40 similar products.

I smoked pineapple express on more than one occassion and I find this a little hard to believe, I felt a bit anxious in public the first time I tried it and while I felt a variety effects none were benzo like in any way. I am quite experienced with benzos and like to think I would notice but I suppose I never have tried phenaz and smoking them could be a completely different experience, especially mixed with synthetic cannabanoids.

I suppose if it tested up it must be true, although I would at the very least question if this is in every batch. I also wouldn't entirely put it past the Government to make something like this up as phenazepam is a little easier to rally against than cannabanoids not proven to do any harm, I am not saying this is likely just a possibility.

 

[andyturbo]

Thats awesome. Hopfully soon we'll have shards in our weetbix :D

 

[MrIbis]

^lol..

This shit is causing a media shitstorm, the amount of phenazepam in it is fuck all, like 300ppm. It's effect would be so slim it'd do fuck all - the guys on FB are goin on about going to get tested for contamination (lol).

shit i used to eat grams of phenaz in one go. lol.

^ haha i think a generic HR disclaimer is required here. Grams of phenaz isn't a typical dose regime

 

[MrIbis]

^I never recommended anyone to try it.

I'm sure we've all one played labrat for the greater good

Benzos in any dosage are pretty much non-harmful. The things you may do whilst under the influence of such drugs is another story

Apart from

prolonged deep coma or deep cyclic coma, apnea, respiratory depression, hypoxemia, hypothermia, hypotension, bradycardia, cardiac arrest, and pulmonary aspiration, with the possibility of death.

Whilst death is rare, dick sizing and making a joke about eating grams of phenaz isn't really cool man, you know better than that...

 

[rm2x]

well that's interesting, it appears Stargate were the importers of the 'tainted' blend

Lol the LD50 of Benzodiazepines is basically impossible to reach. Alprazolam for example: "The acute oral LD50 in rats is 331–2171 mg/kg" Anyone got 21,000mg's of Xanax lying around?

 

[tyrael]

^^^ True. Although no one really should be strictly using the LD50 measurement. It's generally thought of as quite a weak threshold. Having said that, you're totally right, if one was to OD on benzo's, they'd have to be trying (or poly-drug use of course).
