The guy with the glass's who was a former addict talks sense, the narrator on this documentry is comical trying to dramatise everything with the tone of his voice, its a shame but this crazy world still exists all around the uk no where near as bad but still exists and the police and doctors are clueless, this drug and all benzos need to be reclassified to class A, in the wrong hands these drugs destroy lives far worse than cocaine and such rec drugs!

@munkfunk123 I'm personally opposed to prohibition, but I totally agree with you about the relative harm of benzos. They're incredibly useful drugs in the short term, but in the long term they are one of the most addictive, life-ruining things out there. Why they are class C and - say - cannabis class B shows how fucking stupid the whole system is.

@LordGoatAlmighty yeah bang on I mean ketamine is class C and cannabis a herb that heals and saves lives is a class B its pathetic it really is and benzos are insane, an absolute cunt to come off really crazy drug, benzos should have a big warning on the front on the pack or pill tub saying DO NOT TAKE FOR MORE THAN A MONTH when I got mine the doctor didnt tell me how addictive they were if i had of known what was to come i would have put up with my troubles, my life was a breeze before benzos.
