April 20, 2023 – While it’s legal to buy and sell in Virginia, according to the CDC, the drug is used as an antidepressant and marketed to help with anxiety, among other things, in other countries but here in the states, the opioid-like drug is not approved by the FDA for any medical use.

“Whenever you have non-medical use of a potentially potent drug, I think that’s a set-up for bad outcomes,” Rose said.

Rose says if you’re not careful, this could be highly addictive.

“That’s because most of the use is misuse or abuse and used in much higher doses than the drug was intended to be used for,” Rose said.

This is drug is legal to buy and sell in Virginia, however, many states have banned the drug because of its side effects.
