KITSAP COUNTY, Wash. - A new drug is hitting the streets of Western Washington, and authorities say it poses an extreme danger to children.

Narcotics agents in Kitsap County recently busted a street dealer for selling ecstasy, and found more than they bargained for. Along with the ecstasy they found BZP. The drug is a knock-off of the drug ecstasy and it can be fatal in children.

Deputies say it was hard to recognize because it looked much more like candy than an illegal drug

"They had no clue as to what these pills were," said Deputy Scott Wilson, of the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.

BZP goes by the street names of "Benny," "Frenzy" and “Nemesis.” The pills are shaped like cartoon characters, including Bart Simpson and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If you didn’t know better, you’d probably think there were Flintstones vitamins.

BZP pills are designed to look like popular cartoon characters, including Bart Simpson and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

This raises the obvious concerns of children coming across the drugs and eating them.

"It looks like something that could be put out in a candy dish and you would take a handful and eat it," said Sgt. Carlos Rodriguez of the Kitsap County Narcotics Office.

BZP's origins as a recreational drug can be traced back to California in the early 1990s.

It has grown increasingly popular in the Northwest because of its cheap price and wide availability in Canada
 
hmm i wonder what the effects of this drug are / has any1 ever tried it?

The best way to describe it is the feeling you get when your just about to come up on LSD.
Thats it really.
Nothing else happens and you just feel weird.

Actually, BZP is mostly a stimulant (less so the "LSD comeup" you describe, although there are other psychoactive piperazines that do resemble this - not BZP though), and many people, especially in New Zealand where psychoactive piperazines were legal for a while and sold in shops, took BZP (as well as similar drugs) for recreational purposes and many enjoyed them, as they were quite popular.

They were also legal here in the U.K for a while.
I never knew anyone who enjoyed them/wanted to buy them again.
 
Some people have horrible experiences with it. Some have that experience purely by treating it as MDMA, which it's not, and basically OD on it (throw up, feel really sketchy, paranoid, wired in a bad way etc etc..).
But if you keep your dose low, it can be quite nice indeed (especially when mixed with other, more trippy, less side effect-prone Piperazines). The come-up takes ages - It does actually feel like the come up is most of the experience sometimes - but when it peaks it's quite smooth and has a lovely body high...
Felt like there was a warm wind constantly blowing over my body :)
 
it's a stimulant, plain and simple. Generally mixed with TFMPP.

It's a stupid article though: E pills have looked like this forever.
 
All of the e pills I have seen before these looked more or less like conventional pills save for, of course, the often unconventional, sometimes hilarious stamps they bore.

Have you seen the pills that they are describing here? They are not short little cylindrical things at all. They are actually shaped like Bart Simpson's head or a Transformer's Decepticon head logo, and believe it or not, they really do look something like Flintstone's vitamins.

As for BZP, I liked it; not quite as much as amphetamine, but almost. I mean, it was comparable to amphetamine, which is to me a good thing. On the downside, BZP is currently Schedule I in the US and Class A in the UK, making it more restricted than amphetamine, so watch out and be careful.
 
they really need to start controlling that shit. i havent had a good pill in years. once they control piperazines as tightly as mdma, there will be a higher percentage of mdma tabs out there.
 
its kind of like speed, except subpar in every respect. but still somewhat enjoyable. Some people seen prone to getting horrible hang overs from it.

I would hardly call it a dangerous new drug. The literature seems to make out as being fairly safe.

..the media, always hyping something.
 
Funny they say that BZP is fatal for children. I saw a news video on You Tube where all the leftover BZP pills from New Zealand were being handed out like candy to children in Africa to help them "not feel the hunger pains so much". Sad sad world.
