diazepam

Diazepam (Valium) is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety, seizures, and muscle spasms. It is available by prescription only due to its potential for addiction and severe withdrawal symptoms.

This benzo is frequently diverted for street sales, with prices varying by location. For example, in Los Angeles, a 5 mg tablet of Diazepam costs approximately $1 on the street. Its availability in illicit markets stems from individuals selling their prescribed medications or through theft and diversion.
