N.B. government warns of street drug linked to 9 sudden deaths

“What is especially concerning is that people do not know it is contained in their street drugs,” he said. “There are no warning signs of bromazolam’s presence, as it cannot be detected by sight, smell or taste. There are no telltale signs.”

Health Canada says mixing benzodiazepines with other depressants such as alcohol or opioids — also known as benzo-dope — increases the risk of overdose.New Brunswick Public Health said Friday it is contacting frontline organizations that work with people using street drugs about how they can lower their risk of overdose.“Take advantage of an overdose prevention site if one is available in your community,” read the release.
