In this episode, Rob and Jamie discuss benzodiazepines, a class of sedative substances. Benzo's, for short, have gradually got more attention over the last few years due to their continued use, implications within overdoses and the growing number of 'novel' forms hitting the UK drug market.

Rob and Jamie look at what we see from a services perspective in terms of people accessing support for benzo use, what the implications are in relation benzo's being the subject of significant adulteration and how harm reduction has changed over the last 10 years.
