Pynazolam

Pynazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine derivative first invented in the 1970s,[1] which has in more recent years been sold online as a designer drug. Anecdotal reports and in silico studies suggest it has relatively potent hypnotic and sedative effects. Pynazolam is a powerful serotonin releaser similar to nimetazepam[2] which increases hypnotic activity and euphoria. Anecdotal evidence has also suggested that it's subjective effects are similar to methaqualone[3] although unlike methaqualone, it cannot be smoked due to high melting-point.
