What would you like to see happen - tighter regulation ? Or is it just a general observation that shit is happening & no one seems to have any power to effect it ?
I'm not gonna go crazy about this cos i don't want to offend people or owt.
But having had so much personnal excperience with Benzos i belive that i 'm in a position to have a very valid opinion.
N it is that the availibility of foreign / internet benzos in huge quantities for little money is extremly dangerous.
I was originally prescribed them about 16 years ago n things were alot different , certain older GPs would write a benzo script without even blinking.
This was a bad state of affairs , because their are still many folk like myself who are still on prescribed benzos decades after they were given their first script.
Anyhow i've seen how dangerous these drugs can be in a regulated enviroment , addiction , mixing with alcohol and potential for irrational behaviour are all very common.
So if u take these drugs out of any regulation whatsoever it's gonna create mayhem. As folk have said 1000 pills for £50 , 1000 pills ffs thats just asking for trouble , anyone with addictive tendancies is going to abuse them and probably end up dependent.
At the end of the day it is the NHS that usually is left to pick up the pieces as more and more young people are presenting themselves at GPs surgery with Benzo habbits that they have picked up from buying cheap internet drugs.
Also probably the most dangerous thing about this whole scene is the pills themselves are unregulated , hence the dosages are often less or sometimes far more than it says on the packet.
I have no idea how this should be tackled , but because i have had a longterm Benzo habit which is unpleasant to say the very least , it worries me that very young people are getting hold of potentially deadly drugs for little money with very little knowledge of how much danger they are putting themslves in.
Benzodiazipines were in the process of being phased out of Longterm use by the health authorities as they had realised that mothers little helper was in fact not really helping at all.
The advent of Online Benzo shopping has brought them once again in 2 thousands of medicine cabinets across the country and imo this is not a good thing , it will cause direct addiction and some indirect fatalities.
End of i have said all i want to on this subject .
