BZP is now a controlled substance in Canada. Here's an article that came up on november 28th on the Radio-Canada website, roughly translated from French by myself:
Stimulating and dangerous?
BZP and 3-TFMPP are now alongside other "recreative drugs" such as GHB, Ecstasy and speed.
The Purepillz company freely sells four products (Peaq, Freq, PureRush et PureSpun) described as "social tonics and safe, legal alternatives to street drugs"
Nevertheless, these products known as "legal ecstasy" to their users thanks to their euphoric and stimulant effects, are far from "natural", as they are often described.
In fact, these components are synthetic; they do not exist in nature. Health Canada warns that they can have dangerous effects, such as:
-a rise in body heat
-a rise in blood pressure
-paranoia
Health Canada worries about the growing popularity of these products and decided to stop their sale.
RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) specialists confirm the increasing presence of these chemicals during the last year; not only in bars, but also in schools and workplaces.
According to Dr Claude Arsenault, the effects of the substance combine the stimulating properties of amphetamines with the hallucinogenic properties of LSD
"Imagine the effects on the brain neurochemistry!"
— Dr Claude Arsenault
Health Canada's decision is supported by recent studies conducted in New Zealand, which suggest that the pills may pose an health risk.
The federal agency will add BZP to the list of controlled sustances. Possession and sale of these products will now be criminal.
BZP pills have already been seized everywhere in Canada, including Montréal and Toronto.
Adam Wookey, proprietary of PurePillz, claims he does not understand Health Canada's position.
"There will always be a demand for recreative drugs. It is to the government to decide if the black market will now be the only supply answering that demand."
— Adam Wookey
Health Canada leaves 30 days to recieve commentaries before adding BZP to the list of controlled substances.
--------------------------
My commentary? Canada isn't above senseless anti-drug propaganda.
-BZP causes paranoia? I think they don't need to seize any BZP; they're paranoid enough.
-The effects of BZP are comparable to a combination of speed and LSD? Give me a break!
-BZP is not a natural substance? The claim that it is cannot be found on the PurePillz website. And I doubt that most of the products coming from the pharmaceutical industry can be called "natural"; but of course, only unnatural fun things are demonised.
