With dozens of overdose deaths in the state involving bromazolam, Attorney General Russell Coleman (R) is calling on the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) to take emergency action to ban the drug. Additionally, he has contacted the US Drug Enforcement Administration asking them to quickly schedule the drug as a controlled substance. The drug has already been scheduled in some states, including Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Virginia and West Virginia.
