An animal tranquilizer, Xylazine, known on the streets as Tranq, is now being frequently found mixed in with the illegal drugs being sold in our cities. Xylazine by itself has not been designated as illegal, but it apparently has an effect on the high when mixed with methamphetamine, fentanyl or heroin.
It also has another effect. It causes flesh to rot and people who ingest the drug through smoking or other means get great, gaping sores that can result in limbs being amputated, or death.
The Los Angeles Sheriffs Dept. monitors the various ingredients of street drugs that they confiscate and are finding an increase of Xylazine mixed in with the other various pills and powders.
The L.A. Health Dept. wants to warn drug users of the dangers of Xylazine and Chelsea Shover, an epidemiologist and health services researcher at UCLA says “And it’s really important for people who use drugs to know that.” Meaning that it can kill you. She said that “For people who are using drugs but want to minimize the risk of ingesting xylazine, there are now xylazine test strips available online”.
Isn’t that swell? Hey, kids, log onto Amazon and get your xylazine test strips, don’t let your limbs rot off, be safe and only kill yourselves with heroin and fentanyl overdoses, okay, kids?
Or do like I would and don’t use that shit at all. Instead of warning all those losers about the dangers, encourage them to do it MORE. The sooner they all O.D. and die, the better off the world will be. Darwin out, druggies, and good riddance.
Yuck. Not the first drug to cause rotting flesh, can’t remember what that other one was called now. Why do people do things like that?
Had a bit of weed back in school days and it screwed me up for months. Paranoid and kept feeling as if I’d just woken up. I’d never touch drugs again. Apart from odd glass of wine/half of lager when out with somebody, been teetotal for years.
