 | Mr. Flynn (English Con) : My point is that there are local drug problems. The scourge of temazepam was a particularly Scottish problem. A number of young people in Scotland were seized with the totally unexpected habit of liquefying and injecting that medicine. It was a form of Russian roulette with only two chambers in the gun. It is the most dangerous form of drug abuse that one could imagine, and it was peculiar to Scotland. Irene Adams : I hate to disagree with my hon. Friend, but temazepam caused a problem in my constituency. It was also a particular problem in Newcastle and in Carlisle. Hansard, 30 th March 1998. |  |
