Nice to meet you, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Unsure if you&#039;ve clearly read what I said on the page above but to clarify my position and give you some more info: BZP is synthetic and not naturally occurring; there were A&amp;E presentations in NZ but the majority of these people who presented to A&amp;E in NZ were not ADMITTED to hospital, most were not serious cases, and none of the recorded cases had followed our dosage instructions In many cases the treatment provided was &quot;verbal reassurance.&quot; There was a thorough analysis carried out of all available hospital records which you can read about at the link below;
As far as I know there is no evidence of neurotoxicity associated with BZP studies, have been carried out in this area, when last I checked on them they were showing BZP users brains as being essentially normal.
meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) is a different compound to BZP, however I am not aware of any cases of mCPP induced psychosis or comparative studies with MDMA. I think methamphetamine would be a better drug to compare BZP to if a comparison were made.
If you are interested in reading more detail on a number of these statements there is a risk analysis and research summary on BZP here http://www.mattbowden.com/PBST-RA-Final-smaller.pdf
I don&#039;t think it is fair comment to suggest in a public forum that I &quot;push&quot; or otherwise present BZP as a &quot;natural&quot; high, I worked hard to correct this misconception over a number of years, perhaps you have confused me with somebody else, if you can back up your statements feel free to do so here.
I understand that the BZP effect is not the most sought after drug effect and that MDMA is a preferred drug but I am comfortable with the way that we have presented its safety profile.
Thanks
