Valium / Diazepam News Blog

View Gallery THIEVES broke into a Wigan veterinary surgery last night and stolen large amounts of potentially dangerous drugs.

Police are warning people to be vigilant against black market drugs because the haul could be fatal if used in the wrong way.

The offenders forced their way into the Little Lane Veterinary Clinic at Goose Green between 7pm and 7.45pm and bagged a large number of pills and liquids, including diazepam, ketamine and insulin.

Diazepam is often used by drug abusers as a "come-down" drug for its relaxing effect, and is known as Valium in the US. It is widely used by heroin addicts to help them sleep, though in veterinary surgeries it is used to sedate cats and dogs.

Ketamine is primarily used as a horse tranquilizer, and is one of the strongest sedatives available. It is used recreationally be clubbers for its potential hallucinagenic effects.
