Are Benzoylecgonine and Benzodiazepines the Same Thing?

Question by hotladi2269: Are benzoylecgonine and benzodiazepines the same thing?
If you have a prescription for xanax “zanax” and you are on probation, would it be possible to pass the cocaine drug screen portion of the test? I heard that a metabolite called benezoylecgonine can be detected after cocaine use…Is it also detected after “zanax” use?

No. Benzodiazepines are sedative drugs – Valium being the most “well known” and kind of the father of all the others, including the more commonly prescribed newer drugs like Xanax, etc.
These will also show up on a drug screen (as long as they include it in the screen, which they usually do), but not as a positive for cocaine.

Pete Doherty Cocaine Arrest : Latest Chapter in Rocker’s Addiction Battle

The Babyshambles front man Pete Doherty is trending on news of his arrest for cocaine possession. The notorious bad boy and ex-boyfriend of Kate Moss was detained as part of an investigation into the suspected overdose and death of heiress Robin Whitehead. This forced the Babyshambles to cancel their show in Scotland. Of course, it’s not the first time Doherty has struggled with substance abuse. Back in 2008, his manager told the Daily Mail, “The only time I can be sure he’s not doing heroin or crack is when he’s in rehab or prison or asleep.” Like SlateV on Facebook: www.facebook.com Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com
