Diazepam Street Prices

Street Price of:  5mg Diazepam 
  • Clonazepam (Klonopin)
  • Diazepam (Valium)
  • Lorazepam (Ativan)
  • Street value of Valium averages about $0.75-$1.00 per 5mg tablet. Valium is the most common prescribed drug available on the black market due to patients selling their prescriptions or some dishonest doctors channeling the medication on the streets.

These prices depend on availability and the difficulty or expense of obtaining them. Additionally, they may not contain Xanax at all or may contain other drugs as well. “Manufacture of counterfeit medications has increased with the epidemic of prescription drug abuse,” reports CBS News, adding that overdose deaths have increased dramatically due to Xanax being laced with other, more powerful, drugs like fentanyl. No matter the name used, Xanax abuse can be dangerous. Getting help for addiction puts an end to these risks.
 

All of these drugs can treat anxiety, panic and stress by calming the brain. The Oschner Journal explains that benzos like Xanax bind to GABA receptors so that this neurochemical cannot. This makes neurons less excitable and leads to almost immediate symptom relief.1 This relief, or the “high” benzos provide, comes with side effects that can include amnesia, respiratory depression and more. Use can lead to misuse, abuse and addiction.

Putnam County Fairgrounds For Sale?



Putnam County Mayor Randy Porter will pursue a private sale of the Putnam County Fairgrounds.

County Commissioners approved the move Monday night and declared the fairgrounds as surplus property. Porter presented the pros and cons for four sale options to the commission: sealed bid, public auction, internet auction, or private sale.

Porter said the first two options would not be conducive for a large piece of property like the fairgrounds site. With an internet auction, the county could set a minimum bid and could open the auction to people nationwide.

He said a private sale provided better control over what would occupy the fairgrounds in the future.


“We could target large retail developments trying to get somebody that would open some kind of big store on it that would bring in sales tax along with property tax,” Porter said. “There’s no sales fee for us doing it, it would be a private contract that we would do with whoever is going to buy it and it gives you the chance to be in full control of what the selling price is.”


County Attorney Jeff Jones said that the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office agreed that the fairgrounds could be sold with a private sale so long as commissioners approve the move, decide the sale is in the best interest of the county, that the county get a fair price for the land, and that any conflict of interest is avoided.

Commissioner Kathy Dunn said the county will have to be cautious during future work sessions when discussing offers.

“When you’re dealing with commercial contracts it will need to be in project names because these guys will walk if they think that their name gets out there,” Dunn said. “It happens everyday in our community. Even if it has the appearance that they think it got out, they’ll pull out.”

Porter said that there would be multiple people beyond himself, involved in securing a sale. Porter said the plan is to hit every advertising possibility out there for the sale.


“City of Cookeville has a contract with Retail Strategies that has contacts with a huge amount of developers,” Porter said. “Both of those sites, we put it out to everybody and my goal is, is that keeping a record of every person that’s interested, with every offer so that there’s no questions and I’m going to bring you the best one. But there’s always going to be this list here that you’ll be able to see if you want to, of all the offers that have been made and who they were from.”

The sites Porter referenced are CoStar and Loopnet.


Porter said there would be one more Putnam County Fair on the grounds. He said the goal is to secure a deal within 60 to 90 days. If there has been no movement towards a sale before the July Commission meeting, the options for sale will be revisited during that meeting.
