We use this chart for reference when reporting out on #drugchecking results in #yyj and on Vancouver Island. There is value in aggregate data and it helps inform harm reduction practices by identifying potency relative to what we are seeing in the supply.

@JulsBudau @Galit_Rodan Here is our benzo equivalency chart which includes rolling averages. We use alprazolam as we've heard it from folks in the community that there is some familiarity with alprazolam (even though most are fakes these days). This chart is updated every week. #drugchecking

@JulsBudau @Galit_Rodan Would have to do some calculations - in July, the median bromazolam concentration was about 5%. So 5mg per point of down. There isn't a lot of data on 'equivalency' w/ brom but one paper mentions about = to 20mg of diazepam. We see bromazolam concentrations much higher sometimes.

Super lucky to have a service like this available. Was a short walk away, anonymous, easy and quick! I’ve seen them set up at festivals but first time using them. Bravo and thanks! @SubstanceUVic substance.uvic.ca
