| Comment | Up until about seven years ago, you could buy etizolam over the counter in a headshop on byres road. It came in a wee bag, akin to a lucky bag you;d buy as a kid. Etizolam isnt stronger but 1mg of etizolam is equivalent to 10mg of diazapemam and without this knowledge, the assumption would be to take ten to mirror the effect of 10mg of diazepam when in fact you would have taken the equivalent of 100mg diazapam. It was a legal high, owing to being a *benzothiazepine rather than a benzodiazapience - a loophole which allowed them to sell. They are used widely in India, as their answer to diazapam.* |
