Increasing benzodiazepine use and its link to drug deaths causes concern.
Conclusion
We are concerned about the increasing prevalence of benzodiazepine use, and its implication in drug misuse deaths, across the UK. We await the outcome of the Home Office’s consultation on the creation of a new offence to better enable law enforcement to prove the illicit use of pill presses. (Paragraph 43) Drugs 73
