    TranQ

    Anyone ever heard of this drug?


    The DEA is concerned for multiple reasons. Xylazine is unbelievably cheap - Dailymail.com found the drug for low as $1 per kilogram on online Chinese pharmacies - and because it has some of the same euphoric effects as opioids, it's highly addictive.

    But xylazine has an even more sinister side. It causes a host of horrific side effects, including rotting skin and a zombified stupor dubbed the 'dope lean.' And - unlike fentanyl and other opioids - there is no antidote for overdoses, meaning taking too much xylazine can be a death sentence.

    Well, a day later and 120 views I guess the answer to my question is no. If it becomes a thing, you heard it here first but let's hope it doesn't

    Sounds like standard drug panic reporting.

    It wouldn't be "news" these days without being framed as either outrageous (feeding the outrage addicts) or fear inducing (triggering the unthoughtful among us).

    Naming a drug after middle America’s least and most favorite things in the world is darkly poetic ish.

    Yes, I’ve heard reports of it going around the homeless community here in Portland.

    The number of incredibly dangerous prescription drugs is very high. This shouldn’t be surprising.
