Over the past few years, #HealthCanada has been tracking the spread of xylazine, an #AnimalTranquilizer - in the country's #StreetDrugs . Informally, it's often referred to as #TranqDope or just the #ZombieDrug "
#Xylazine is not approved for human use but increasingly has been cut with #opioids like #fentanyl - which can lead to gruesome effects. Users can sometimes fall into blackout states and develop agonizing wounds and "rotting flesh" that can require amputation.
