What is Blue Haze Diazepam?
Blue haze diazepam is the term used to describe Dan 5620 and Valium and other high dose (usually 10mg) brands of diazepam. Originally used to describe a hybrid cannabis strain with strong genetics, complex flavors and aromas, and potent buds that are treasured by cannabis users around the globe, blue haze is now synonymous with high milligram diazepam on the streets.
Diazepam is a benzodiazepine that is used to treat anxiety disorders, alcohol withdrawal symptoms, or muscle spasms. Diazepam is sometimes used with other medications to treat seizures. Diazepam may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Fake Blue Diazepam
According to the BBC, fake valium tablets are now so freely available across Scotland and many other cities around the globe, they have become “cheaper than chips”, a drug expert has warned. The tablets, bought on the street, have been linked to the deaths of six people in the Toryglen area of Glasgow in the past nine months. In some cases, the pills contained etizolam, as a substitute for diazepam. Fake Valium pills were linked to a 43% rise in the number of people in Glasgow who died of drugs overdoses between January and October last year. Many who buy blue haze diazepam online end up as casualties as criminal drug gangs make profits selling counterfeit drugs to unsuspecting buyers.
What are the possible side effects of diazepam?
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Diazepam can slow or stop your breathing, and death may occur. A person caring for you should seek emergency medical attention if you have slow breathing with long pauses, blue-colored lips, or if you are hard to wake up.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
- weak or shallow breathing;
- severe drowsiness or feeling like you might pass out;
- depressed mood, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;
- confusion, hallucinations;
- anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping;
- hyperactivity, agitation, aggression, hostility;

Common side effects may include:
- drowsiness;
- tired feeling;
- muscle weakness; or
- loss of coordination.
