By Rosalind Russell – The Community Drug Strategy and Public Health Sudbury & Districts are warning the public about a new dangerous illegal drug circulating the districts.
The agencies have received confirmation of a new potent substance, flubromazolam, (FLU-bro-mah-zalum), also known as liquid Xanax, circulating in Sudbury and Manitoulin districts.
According to the release, this substance is potent and can result in strong sedation and partial amnesia lasting more than 24 hours.
