Xanax 'turned my son into a monster'

Synopsis

Xanax, also known as zan, is an anti-anxiety drug that is being abused by teenagers across the UK. Users like Jake and Simon, who have been hooked on the drug for two years, describe the experience as feeling like a 'zombie' and not being themselves anymore. They mix Xanax with cocaine, risking severe consequences, including death. The drug is easily accessible, with dealers charging less than a pound for a single pill. In Bristol, the crisis is escalating, with a reported 300 percent increase in young people seeking help for benzodiazepine-related issues. Experts warn that this emerging public health crisis is just beginning to reveal its full impact, as many users have already paid with their lives due to the drug's dangers. The ease of obtaining Xanax online highlights the urgent need for awareness and intervention in this growing epidemic.
