    Fentanyl is frequently being mixed with a potent animal tranquilizer called

    xylazine (known on the street as “tranq” or “tranq dope”), creating a dangerous and often fatal combination. This mixture has been declared an "emerging threat

    So yeah it’s out there

        Are you being deliberately contrarian or do you me a to imply the opioid AND fentanyl epidemic are somehow made up?

          Just because heroin and fentanyl are prevalent on the streets doesn’t mean that every claim that sounds like it was sourced from a 1990s chain letter is true. That’s an absurd assertion.

              Two government sources, which as we all know always report truthfully and without bias about street drugs. The same government that made weed illegal because it “lead to race mixing,” “jazz musicians to create Satanic music,” and caused people to go violently insane.

                I also watched a report from Mariana Van Zeller about the drug. She got in contact with people that make the drug and she got a chance to interview police who have to deal with the mess.

                Can’t find a link to her report.

            My dude heroin is being cut with fentanyl because it’s significantly more potent and so you can step on it more ( add other shit to make it stretch ) to sell.

            The opioid crisis was bad enough before fent hit the streets in it. This is a known thing, totally unrelated to the stupid “they put razor blades in my marijuanas”

                Tranq is short for tranquilizer.

                There are lots of names for this.

                I’ve heard tranq dope before, yeah.

                Hell instead of being the way you are just google or ddg “tranq”

                It would have taken you mere seconds.
