Horse tranquilizers! The new hot drug.
I know someone who is taking horse tranquilizers! It’s the new thing I guess.
I was thinking, what the heck? So I had to google it. I had seen it at my local feed store as I was cruising the isles. I had pet chickens, rabbits, rats, dogs, cats, and more.
A horse tranquilizer is increasingly popping up as a street drug in the U.S., and it is now involved in nearly one-third of fatal opioid drug overdoses.
The tranquilizer drug, called xylazine, is not considered an opioid, but it is often found mixed with the opioids heroin or fentanyl, a combination sometimes referred to as “tranq dope,”.
The researchers found that detection of the drug during post-mortem exams has spiked sharply over the past decade among people who have died from opioid overdoses in Philadelphia.
I found tons of the stuff for sale on google. Crazy stuff! The one below was on chewy.com. A pet supply.
