Harm reduction services Pill Report and The Loop have sent warnings of compounds "around 1000x the strength of heroin" being incorporated into street benzos

Harm reduction services have issued warnings about fake and laced benzo “crisis”, which could lead to a “fentanyl-style epidemic”.

According to harm reduction services Pill Report and The Loop, the UK is currently facing an increase of fake and laced benzos (most commonly known in the form of Xanax or Valium). Pill Report has claimed that 47.1% of American clubbers aged 18 to 29 have used “non-prescribed” benzo-like drugs in the last four months.

However, they warn that recently, street benzos can contain alternative compounds, one of which they describe as a “super-strength opioid”. Most notably, two compounds have come to their attention: Bromazolam, a medication that has since failed to be approved for usage, and nitazene, a synthetic opioid that they allege is “around 1000x the strength of heroin”.
