Treading a Thin Line
Once again "legal drugs" are making the news, but what exactly is in these substances if people are dying from using them?
According to an article, a young man recently died in Scotland after taking the legal drug, Benzo Fury. Officials caution the practice of mixing alcohol and drugs like this because you do not know the effects of using both of them at the same time.
In addition, Benzo Fury is known to have similar effects as that of ecstasy, but seems to fall under the threshold of being legal because of its chemical makeup. This is the same scenario as many drugs we have heard of lately, such as K2. These drugs seem to brush the line between legal and illegal because of what is in them.
However, laws are getting tougher on these borderline substances and one could anticipate that Benzo Fury would soon fall under the illegal classification.
There are so many unknowns with drugs like these, health officials just do not know their full affects yet. However, if you mix them with alcohol, they know the combination could be deadly.
Any time someone uses a drug that has not been prescribed to them for a medical reason there can be adverse side effects. One would believe that there would soon be laws prohibiting this type of drug use.
The fear of the unknown is often a scary situation. Drugs like Benzo Fury are no different. In this case what you don’t know may end up hurting you, or even worse. However, the more we learn over time could also educate us on even other risky effects.
