Just a quick question for the benzo educated.
Would clonaz be worth a shot for my paws? I can get it, and i know this is going to last months the way i am, hardly leaving the house, out of work and job interviews lined up. Would i be able to reinstate with clonaz and taper from there?
Thank you x
You'd have to go by the guide - EDIT: The Ashton Manual. It is designed for tapering and gives you a guide on how to do it with specific benzos, a Newcastle University professor designed it (not sure if it will have the RC benzos turning up but it has clonazepam). It will tell you how to taper from whatever dose you're on.
Clonazepam are potent, sedating and have a very long half life (as well as a long onset but you can speed that up if you need to, if you're feeling really rough). But start out on low doses due to the sedating nature and keep in mind the very long half-life, which might be handier for tapering, at least in terms of cost effectiveness. Not sure.
I have mostly clonazepam tablets now due to getting so many fake bensedin - a trusted brand for me for many years. The vendor I trust has had issues and is only taking bitcoin mostly. I have had decent Bensedin from there and when the bad ones were turning up they stopped selling them and replaced them with Martin Dow before returning to Bensedin with the genuine article. I didn't get any fakes from there but did from another vendor due to basically panicking and wanting to stock up, largely in light of all this shit going on. They sent fakes, replaced them with fakes and then finally sent clonazepam as a replacement which was decent of them so I don't think it's malice on their part, it's an issue in the supply chain. Luckily the fakes I've got are most likely inactive but I will know for sure when they get back - they look like two samples of bensedin which contain no active components and have no flavour, just chalk. But no nitazenes. I'd be able to tell due to having had heroin habits in the past. I'll know for sure once I've had them tested (got three different batches to test: at least two different fake bensedin, one which tastes like a sugar pill and the other ones I mentioned which are most likely the same batch, just different colour text on the strips. Also some Elipam which were weird - tasted kinda salty but seemed to have a benzo effect.
But I don't know what's happening. Of course synthetic opioids have been turning up in
street benzos for years - at least as far back as 2016. Look at
this list of police bulletins -
this one has examples of pills containing synthetic opioids but it wasn't seen as a big deal back then. I had taken many of those pills. But the nitazene thing is making its way into knock offs of the branded supply which happens now and then but will usually just be inactive or contain a different benzo such as bromazolam (the main one at the moment although mixed with nitazenes as well). Of course the OCGs who press them don't care and people on the street who use them generally aren't vigilant, as long as they get fucked up. But some of the online vendors do seem to care...
Being the paranoid crank I am, I believe that they are turning up in the branded ones and getting into the supply lines on purpose, in order to allow the police/NCA or whoever to get heavy on the clearnet vendors. They are making a lot of money and likely aren't keeping it in the country and the government can't have that so they are spiking people, killing them off on the streets but also people who go online and pay extra because they are discerning and in cases such as my own, are self-medicating and have ended up with habits.
It is either OCGs who can't get their hands on enough of whatever benzo they usually get and so are putting nitazenes in the pills which they are also cutting heroin with - many of the people pressing these pills naturally also run heroin, one local to me just got taken down (although I'm not sure if they were pressing them - I think they were getting their pills from bigger dealers), or it's fucking MI5 or something contaminating the supply chain so that this reactionary government can cause yet more harm by getting rid of clearnet vendors by creating a big public scandal or whatever to justify blocking certain sites. Then people have to go to the street and end up with opioid habits because they may start getting pills with nitazenes.
It's like what has happened in the states, with every pill that's pressed in cartel labs containing fentanyl, and the heroin market being replaced by fentanyl to the point at which addicts are now worried about their fent containing xylazine (not an opioid making naloxone ineffective) which is turning up in the heroin here too. But in the states, if you wanted xanax and used to take it regularly as its big there, you would now most likely always end up with fentanyl in your "xanax bars".
"They" are trying to kill us, whether that is gangsters who don't care and only have nitazenes on hand or whether it's the government so that they can do what they always do and enable the worst elements of the criminal world to control drugs and kill people that way. Organised crime and elements within the state apparatus work together. Drugs have to get in, otherwise the economy would likely go into recession.
Everyone who uses benzos should be given testing kits just as heroin/generally opioid users are given naloxone. I am involved in campaigning for this in my day job.
Harm reduction at the very least is needed here but also decriminalisation and ways of treating these issues so that people aren't being fucking murdered with, at the very least, government complicity. Look at what happened when they went after synthetic cannabinoids and everything else they blanket banned under the New Pyschoactive Substances act, including etizolam which became the main ingredient in street valium, along with diclazepam being second. More recently it has been bromazolam and now of course... nitazenes. The "spice" issue though, especially in Manchester: a complete disaster.
Benzo users are potentially fucked and so it's time to stock up if you have a good source. Clonazepam tends to not be faked as far as wedinos tells us and so get them for back up. Look into alternative sources and different benzos, read about them and how they work, test everything and keep naloxone around even if you only use benzos. The online vendors already know that people are buying clonazepam and so it won't be long before those start getting faked too. The people who make the fake branded strips will get onto it and contaminate that usually trustworthy source too.
Be careful folks.
