Submitter: Sold as Roche V Cut Valium, expected to be Diazepam.
Submitter: A friend got addicted to xanax and couldn't taper because of the short half life. He found the Ashton Benzo manual and saw a way out. He made a small purchase of Valium with the V cut all the way through. Then ordered enough for his long slow taper. But the second batch was not the same! We both searched online and came up with nothing.
So he's praying that he didn't get ripped off or worse. Our main concern is that it is not Valium at all and something else bad. I told my friend not to take them until we had a lab test done.

DrugsData tests all psychoactive drugs including ecstasy tablets, powders, research chemicals, novel pschoactive substances, and other drugs through our licensed laboratory. Ecstasy/Molly tablets cost $100. Recreational drug powder/crystal/blotter costs $100. Pharmaceuticals, supplements and all others cost $150 per analysis.
Should the public have access to independent analysis of the products they consume?
The vast majority of analyses of over-the-counter, prescription, and recreational drugs are performed in secret with no independent oversite or review. No other historical record, free from politically-controlled agencies, is currently available in North America nor most other parts of the world.
DrugsData, a project of Erowid Center, needs the support of professionals, students, parents, individuals with means, and small foundations for a total yearly budget of around $120,000 USD. Erowid Center's general budget and the co-pays we require fund most of this cost.
