Tranq Dope: Animal Sedative Mixed With Fentanyl Brings Fresh Horror to U.S. Drug Zones

Animal tranquilizer called xylazine is being used to bulk up illicit fentanyl. Xylazine causes wounds that erupt with a scaly dead tissue called eschar. It induces a blackout stupor for hours, rendering users vulnerable to rape and robbery. Because it is a sedative and not an opioid, it resists standard overdose reversal treatments.
