Important information - Xanax

*Please not this information is not linked to any incidents on UWE campus

Avon & Somerset Police have informed us that multiple seizures of white tablets with the appearance of a #xanax bar have been mixed with Flualprazolam & Clonazolam. The dosage in these tablets is unknown.

#Flualprazolam is what’s known as a non-registered drug in the benzo family. Due to the unregulated nature of Flualprazolam, it's hard to find concrete information about strength but there is a good indication that it's stronger than Xanax, meaning more risk!

Not a lot is known about Clonazolam. "This compound is a novel research chemical derivative of the FDA-approved drugs Clonazepam and Alprazolam (Xanax). Clonazolam is reported to be roughly 2.5x as potent as alprazolam" - psychonautwiki.Org
