Are benzodiazepinnes the same as opiates?

Answer 1

Benzodiazepines *OR* Opiates?

Either / Or ??? Neither / Nor ????

They're not the same - I'll tell you that straight off

Opiates are the tried and true Opium Poppy derivatives that people associate with Morphine, Codeine, Vicodin, and more recently Oxycontin - not to mention their banished cousin, Heroin - To name only a few

Benzodiazepines are another happy family consisting of Valium, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, etc etc etc ......... AKA diazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam, clonazepam and so on so forth etc etc etc also including the popular Rohypnol (aka date rape roofies)

then again, what was your question?

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4
