Just looked up what countries that have bath saltsd and I guess Canada has this stuff what are with the names I mean BZP and Bathsalts I mean is the next one of these weird designer drugs going to be named laundry detergent or arm and hammer baking soda or how about kitty litter. anyways Vancouver #1 drug is pot
The effects of BZP are largely similar to
amphetamines,with one study finding that former amphetamine addicts were unable to distinguish between
dextroamphetamine and BZP administered intravenously. Users report alertness, euphoria and a general feeling of well being.
The perception of certain sensations such as taste, colour or music may be subjectively enhanced. The average duration is longer than that of dextroamphetamine, typically lasting 4–6 hours with reports as long as 8 hours depending on the dose.
A recent study has shown that mixtures of BZP with other piperazine drugs such as
TFMPP share certain
pharmacodynamic traits with
MDMA.
The drug was classified as a Schedule I
controlled substance in the United States in 2002, following a report by the
DEA which incorrectly stated that BZP was 10 to 20 times
more potent than amphetamine when in fact BZP is ten times
less potent than dexamphetamine.
The DEA subsequently admitted this mistake, but nevertheless retained the Schedule 1 classification. BZP is banned in all Australian states. Victoria, the last state in which it was legal, changed its classification on September 1, 2006.
This is the date BZP and piperazine analogs become illegal in the federal schedules which are now enacted by all Australian states and territories. BZP is also a banned substance in Japan, along with TFMPP. Both Australia and Japan admit that their scheduling decisions were made primarily in response to the Schedule 1 classification given to BZP in the USA.
Currently, BZP and other analogous piperazines are still legal and uncontrolled in several Western countries, mostly identified in
Canada. However, Canadian suppliers often decline foreign orders even if they originate from countries where BZP is not regulated.
The largest supplier in Canada, Purepillz, currently states on its website that it will not ship BZP based products to The European Union due to a proposed ban in the E.U.
As of May 2010 BZP's status in Canada is that of an unregulated chemical agent the sales of which are theoretically unrestricted. However, due to its high retail price in Canada BZP is rarely used by stimulant abusers who can obtain cheaper and stronger drugs on the illicit market and for the same reason few young people use it, and lukewarm media interest creates little pressure on authorities for regulation. This may delay any legislation project in the near future.
BZP is not controlled under any UN convention, so the compounds themselves are legal throughout most of the world, although in most countries their use is restricted to pharmaceutical manufacturing and recreational use is unknown.
