If alcohol is consumed at the same time, an accident-related injury is 112 times more likely to occur. Benzos, like cannabis and opiates, belong to a group of drugs known as sedatives. While their effects are often less obvious than those of stimulants, they are no less dangerous<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After taking sedatives, people experience relaxation, often accompanied by euphoria and light-headedness, as well as a sense of time passing very slowly, with delayed reactions and movements. Users feel as though they\u2019re \u201cwrapped in cotton wool\u201d. This skews their perception of the environment and the surrounding traffic \u2013 so that they may fail to spot red lights or pedestrians, miscalculate their speed and forget breaking distances or the sequences in which to perform actions. Users take greater risks because their relaxed state of mind gives them a false sense of safety. It makes no difference whether the substance is taken as prescription medication or illegally to make daily life easier. Many people don\u2019t even consider the question of whether they are capable of driving. Or, they fall prey to the high risk of addiction associated with these drugs and simply don\u2019t care about the risks to themselves or others around them.[\/vc_column_text][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:30&#8243;][tm_image image=&#8221;13750&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message]<strong>What are sedatives?<\/strong><br \/>\nSedatives \u2013 also known as \u201cdowners\u201d on the drugs scene \u2013 include opiates\/opioids, benzodiazepines and cannabis. These substances have a largely dulling and relaxing effect. At the same time, sudden feelings of euphoria may also be experienced.<br \/>\nBenzodiazepines and opiates\/opioids are used in medicine, for example, to reduce anxiety, combat stress or relieve pain. They are only legal if purchased on prescription and are highly addictive. Sedatives are also becoming more widespread on the illegal drugs scene<sup>2<\/sup>.[\/vc_message][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The number of people driving under the influence of sedatives is on the rise. To date, cannabis remains the most frequent narcotic detected in roadside screening.<br \/>\nHowever, it is now closely followed by legal and illegal benzodiazepines. The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) is registering increased availability and growing consumption of both sedatives and opiates\/opioids. To supply the illegal market, some of these substances are diverted from medical applications, while others come in the form of synthetic substances known as designer drugs. In some European countries and in the USA, the increase in road deaths due to sedatives has been proven.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message]<strong>Conspicuous signs of sedative misuse<\/strong><br \/>\nSome of the main signs of taking sedatives are listed here.

Consuming benzodiazepines (BZO) before driving causes a five-fold1 increase in the risk of being injured in a road traffic accident. If alcohol is consumed at the same time, an accident-related injury is 112 times more likely to occur. Benzos, like cannabis and opiates, belong to a group of drugs known as sedatives. While their effects are often less obvious than those of stimulants, they are no less dangerous.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/detecting-misuse-of-sedatives\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/detecting-misuse-of-sedatives\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/detecting-misuse-of-sedatives\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/app\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Missbrauch-von-Sedativa-erkennen-mit-DrugWipe_AdobeStock_254163681_web.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/app\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Missbrauch-von-Sedativa-erkennen-mit-DrugWipe_AdobeStock_254163681_web.jpg","width":1109,"height":858,"caption":"Missbrauch von Sedativa erkennen mit DrugWipe"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/detecting-misuse-of-sedatives\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Startseite","item":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Detecting misuse of sedatives"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/","name":"Securetec Detektions-Systeme AG","description":"We detect to protect","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/#organization","name":"Securetec Detektions-Systeme AG","url":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Securetec_Logo_.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Securetec_Logo_.png","width":411,"height":189,"caption":"Securetec Detektions-Systeme AG"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DrugWipeUK","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/securetec","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCP9jQA-TYhtqanhaooppMqw"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/f0f39631b84b2612e0cf74da2e59ca5b","name":"Securetec","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d17beb1cae3f32585948b80449b30791dc7382b35d7ee84fb3fdbd36a465a00e?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d17beb1cae3f32585948b80449b30791dc7382b35d7ee84fb3fdbd36a465a00e?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Securetec"}}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13720"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13754,"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13720\/revisions\/13754"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
