How it is dangerous?

It’s highly addictive, and when taken it can cause a large increase in seizures. The effects last longer than 24 hours. Research shows that people think they’re buying valium or Xanax but it’s Clonazolam. Gallus’ experience has been that the withdrawal is much longer and has significantly more detox symptoms than regular benzos.
