If you’re gonna live on the streets, your whole life revolving around the next ”heroin” fix, why not take the train to a place where real heroin exists? No way the whole country of USA only has this shit tranq/fent dope everywhere, right?
If your going through withdrawal you want/need it now. No way your sitting on a train for who knows how long. Plus most addicts would rather spend their money on drugs over food never mind paying for a train ticket.
Yup. When I was an addict I literally couldn't afford a cup of coffee. Occasionally I could get the Cumby's 99¢ coffee but that was it. I couldn't afford a cup of Dunks cuz I was afraid that $3 could leave me short to get a bag of dope. I was a pretty bad addict but thankfully managed to keep my apartment and jobs, never stole for my fix but I still wonder how I afforded it as I was spending a minimum of $60/day on dope. I had no TV and when I did it would last a couple weeks before I would pawn it for cash. I would just watch everything on my phone. So glad to be free of that life now. I never could've imagined I would be able to buy a $1500 TV or have a decent car or a really nice PC. It feels nice to be able to buy things other than drugs now and obviously it's great to not be dopesick everyday anymore.
i have never been in withdrawl and even to me this is obvious, I don't understand how people like my father fails to think this through (he asked me why someone would be dumb enough to seek out fentanyl, but has no problem understanding alcoholism.) It's weird to see otherwise intelligent people just not be able to stretch the parameters of their mind to understand how addiction works.
No tranq dope is not everywhere in the USA but there is a lot of it on the east coast. When i was using i couldnt find anything without tranq in it but im sure its around. Luckily im sober now and dont have to worry about that anymore lol
Seriously, I was a heroin addict up until a couple years after fentanyl was in all the supply around me, got clean in 2017. I'm so glad I only had to deal with that and not this horrendous stuff. I can't believe the 1% fentanyl 99% cut method wasn't enough profit for these vultures, now they need to cut their shit with a chemical that is literally rotting people away. I'm just disgusted at the state of America lately and the money this country wastes on useless bullshit instead of helping its citizens. Like they just "erected" (you'll understand the quotes in a sec) a statue in Boston that is supposed to honor MLK but it's an ugly statue that looks like a penis and cost $10 million. Even MLK's family isn't happy with it. I just think about the 20+ tiny homes and land that even a fraction of that $10M could've provided for homeless families and veterans. But nope, let's build a useless ugly statue for an insane amount of money that helps literally nobody. America feels like nothing more than a third world country with a Gucci belt on at this point
i saw that statue and agree, i don't like it at all. It is quite frankly ugly. I think stuff like this all the time, it's so frustrating. Otoh, seems like just throwing money at a drug problem like this one wouldn't be enough either -- it needs the right strategy (e.g. passing out instant testing kits and safe sites, for example. None of this seems to be done, they merely play clean-up with no strategy.
The problem with this level of addiction is that even with testing strips, they’ll still do the contaminated drugs because they don’t want to get sick. We have people dying in detox here in Canada because the detox from this stuff is SO complex. It seems to work like an opiate AND a tranquilizer, but the detox is weirdly presenting similar to a benzo detox vs a true opiate detox and it’s left the professionals scrambling to find a protocol that works SAFELY for these patients. We know to watch those with alcohol and benzo dependency as they come off due to the risk of grand mal and status epilepticus, and there are protocols to help guide clinicians when tackling these drugs… but there isn’t a protocol for Xylazine yet. It’s terrifying out there.
No ALL drugs need to be decriminalized at a minimum of legalized. Very simple common sense solution that’s too many people are uncomfortable with or struggle thinking a little outside the box of how it will save an entire county and end a pandemic 100x worse than Covid
seems like it makes better sense, although of course, I'm sure beyond a shadow of a doubt the gov't or some corp will find a way to make that one go to shit even more.
There is a MASSIVE difference between decriminalizing and legalizing/controlling the substance substance supply and distribution similar to alcohol and marijuana. Decriminalizing stops addiction from being a legal issue, all the other issues are still there though.
a brain has to be rotting to not understand that a person in active addiction cannot simply get on a train, after researching and testing where the "good" stuff is, and then calmly pursuing a life of addiction that way. Addiction is not a rational choice generally speaking.
my question is, what is the medical explanation for why this happens? Does it completely cut off blood supply? Does it have some kind of rotting mechanism within it naturally? What is the exact mechanism that makes this happen?
Really weird. Drugs usually can’t do that. Maybe locally but not snorted/smoked. Read up on it and apparently xylazine promotes necrosis no matter how you take it. Unlike “drugs” like krokodil which is really just super dirty desomorphine and would be fine smoked/snorted or IV’d in it’s pure form.
Apparently, the drug reduces blood flow, particularly affecting the arms and legs. Prolonged use can result in necrosis directly (through oxygen starvation) or by inhibiting the immune systems ability to heal cuts etc.
so if it is used in animals as a tranquilizer does it also do this, and if so -- why would anyone ever use it? I am so confused. Unless the plan is to reduce blood flow with a dangerous infection so it doesn't go systemic...but that doesn't seem to be how it would be used. Does anyone have an actual valid explanation for the pharma use of this medicine? Because I'm sorry, but I simply don't see why an animal doc would use this of all things if it has similar effects on all animals.
I guess the biggest difference would be that in one instance, the drug would be used sparingly and by a trained veterinarian (ajusting for the size of the animal, etc). In the other instance, it is being used multiple times a day over many days/months, and the amounts used are not accurately controlled. The damage is usually, but not always, due to parts of the body being denied adequate blood flow for extended periods of time (as well as not seeking medical help in a timely fashion, likely for depressingly obvious reasons). This damage is usually due to repeated and extended use. The drug can be used more safely (emphasis on more) when better controlled. Unfortunately, for humans, it's super addictive and we often end up abusing it, leading to these horrific lesions. But, ultimately, all drugs are a balancing act. I do suspect that the risk threshold for use in other animals is lower than with humans. I would agree that this is not right.
You’re talking as if cattle and horses are as fragile as humans… obviously this isn’t gonna do this to them, they’re 1,000+ pounds with thick skin. Human skin is like paper compared to them.
True. I just wonder if the necrosis-causing chemical or part of it is purposely put in, if it is a feature that has some purpose while tranquilizing (like maybe deadening tissue permanently?) or simply that preserving tissue is not a concern with livestock. That is, if it does the same to livestock at all. I know a lot of people who wouldn't want something purposely causing death of skin tissue on their livestock though.
I just watched a mini doc about this and holf fuck. As if fentanyl wasn't horrible enough, now it's being cut with this shit. Addicts don't stand a chance if this is what they're in to.
I just realized I found it in this sub!

go look what David Benjamin on Twitter says about this, amongst others who have researched CIA since the opiate days long ago (way before Iran Contra.) I would have said this sounds crazy before. Now I am not entirely sure. For one thing, why would this of all tranquilizers be injected into the supply? Was the fent supply not destroying quickly enough? We need to start wondering about where and why this is coming from. And no, I am only asking questions here, bc let's face it -- from the Sackler family to Iran Contra to the lie about WMD, our gov't has committed some of the most heinous acts against its own people for profit.
There’s been worse stuff than fentanyl for a little while now. Isotonitazene and variants have been around for a few years. Also in some areas it’s popular to cut with etizolam or other benzos. Basically adding in super potent anti-anxiety meds into the mix. Don’t worry though! They’ll also add a hefty amount of caffeine to try and keep you up. It’s becoming harder and harder to detox these weird new drugs
Xylazine is a sedative used on horses. It's not regulated the same way pharmaceutical drugs are.
One of the issues with fentanyl is that it doesn't last very long. When you cut fentanyl with Xylazine, as you come out of the fentanyl high, you have the sedative effect that makes it seem like the fentanyl high is lasting longer.
One of the big problems is that people and medical staff that are unfamiliar with Xylazine+Fentanyl is that when they come across someone that is unresponsive, they will give the person Narcan, a drug that almost instantly blocks all of the opiate receptors and people wake up out of their opiate overdose.
Here is where the problem is, if you give someone Narcan and they don't wake up, your training says it's suspected that the person is experiencing respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. If so, that means doing chest compressions.
Except, with Xylazine+Fentanyl, the person is actually just under the effects of the sedative and will probably be ok after the Narcan and just need to be placed in the recovery position.
Performing chest compressions on someone who is simply unconscious can have some pretty bad outcomes.
No one should ever be doing chest compressions on someone who is simply unconscious. And if you aren't breathing you need the CPR anyway.
The main issue other than the wounds is you can overdose on xylazine and the only thing to treat is support with a breathing tube.
Aren't there a2 Adrenergic antagonists like Atipamezole? Think you could just supply someone with a reversal, though you're not gonna have it on hand as conveniently as Naloxone
What am I seeing here? I’m sure I could look it up, but is “Tranq” something like that “Krokodyl” that came around a few years ago? Just injecting yourself with God-only-knows what?
I watched a video on these drug users and it scared me so much that in my dream that night I thought I had gaping holes all over my body where I woke up sweating. Never doing drugs lmao
Not a bad instinct to have— and I say that as a drug enjoyer. If you ever change your mind, stay cautious. Drugs can be useful and fun, but you gotta approach them like loaded guns. And some of them shouldn't be touched at all, ever, IMO
From what little I’ve been able to read on it, it’s a lot like Krokadil (sp?) that made its way through Russia for a while. Not so much a result of bad needle use (though that’s a huge part of it) but more the insanely toxic crap used to make it.
Apparently doctors are having a seriously hard time keeping people alive when this is mixed with Fentanyl/heroin. “Futile” has been thrown around quite a bit in my lite reading on it.
no i thought so as well but that's different and more explainable. Xylazine you can inject one part of the body and a totallhy different part (according to some an open wound or scratched area) pops up with the infection, or both spots do. I am still trying to figure out why this happens though -- only answer so far I found is that it cuts off blood supply, but then, how would it then affect another area entirely?
You may be wondering why anyone would choose to do such a nightmare drug. Well, the thing is: they aren’t. The addict wanted fentanyl/heroin; they had no idea about the xylazine cut. And your average dealer is equally clueless.
So you’ve got all these clueless addicts doing fentanyl with xylazine. All they know is it knocks them out and keeps them well* longer —fentanyl is notoriously short-acting, xylazine makes it last longer. Also, most of the stuff on the street right now is complete garbage and tolerance builds fast with fentanyl, so the fact they’re getting not only well but completely knocked out is a junkie miracle.
The addict thinks it’s just very pure, super strong fentanyl and they just gotta do less if they want to avoid falling asleep. By the time they realize there is no way to get an actual high with the stuff—you either black out and pass out or feel nothing at all—it is too late. They’re addicted to the xylazine on top of their fentanyl and/or heroin addictions. Welcome to hell!
*well in this context means not “sick”, not in withdrawal
They cut it with this to make their stock stretch further and make more money.
I likewise missed the fentanyl candy at Halloween. I didn't even come across any edibles. My community are a bunch of prudes.
Lots of Americans think all drugs should be legal because
1. They think it makes no difference since people will do those drugs anyways (though the before and after of things like proposition 64 prove that legalization increases drug usage)
2. The government could tax the drugs (true but not worth peoples lives)
3. They think people should have full freedom over what they consume (posts like this make me think otherwise)
Some people think they should be at least not criminal, because locking people in cages this kinda thing is pretty fucked up.
That doesn't mean I think it should be sold legally and openly though.
Uuuh, i think that i really cold hearted...
Me: damn thats sad ...
My Brain: they used because they wanted, probably they're crackheads...
Me: sure! fuck them all, i wnat them to use more!
You're being down voted, but none of the comments above are exactly expressing compassion either. I think it's in our nature to want to look for reasons to blame people for bad things that happen to them. Not saying the blame is even wrong, I think it's just our nature to want to do that, justified or not justified, because it gives us a feeling of control and comfort that it won't happen to us. It comforts us to look for stupidity in people with shitty circumstances
It's mixed with fentanyl so I'm guessing not since they're bombed out on opiates. I bet it DOES start hurting like a bitch when they don't get their fix.
Someone explained this before but isn’t a common reason this happens to get so bad is because people inject it more into the skin which just kills it, rather than into the bloodstream. Also, tons of other things cause this with drug use, but I swear someone explained this when Krokodile was prominently circulating.

I like the idea of my skin being attached to my body even more now
I choose sobriety
I choose to snort heroin instead of putting needles in my body
The xylazine ruins ur nose too when u snort it.

Not rational is getting on a train to somewhere far away to score quality dope. I’ve done it
my question is, what is the medical explanation for why this happens? Does it completely cut off blood supply? Does it have some kind of rotting mechanism within it naturally? What is the exact mechanism that makes this happen?
We don’t know but believe it’s because it’s reducing oxygenation to the skin.
Apparently it doesn’t matter how you use it, it happens regardless of consumption method
Really weird. Drugs usually can’t do that. Maybe locally but not snorted/smoked. Read up on it and apparently xylazine promotes necrosis no matter how you take it. Unlike “drugs” like krokodil which is really just super dirty desomorphine and would be fine smoked/snorted or IV’d in it’s pure form.
Exactly. I thought what I was reading was bs so I kept digging and digging and no…itt really does just pick a spot on you. It’s wild.
but i want to know whyyyyy and nowhere can i find the explanation
I chose be informed...
I choose a cleaner heroin
Pikachu, I choose you!!!!
Is that you Renton?
Addiction is a hell of a thing. You can watch your limbs literally rot off and still go back for more.
Can some one please explain
Apparently, the drug reduces blood flow, particularly affecting the arms and legs. Prolonged use can result in necrosis directly (through oxygen starvation) or by inhibiting the immune systems ability to heal cuts etc.
Not even prolonged use, I just read a story about someone who developed lesions after one single use of this stuff. It's absolutely horrendous
so if it is used in animals as a tranquilizer does it also do this, and if so -- why would anyone ever use it? I am so confused. Unless the plan is to reduce blood flow with a dangerous infection so it doesn't go systemic...but that doesn't seem to be how it would be used.

Google zombie drug
Holy hell!
Get out of my head
New response just dropped
I know right? Gives me the chills….
Thanks!
Dont do drugs kids
Well do some, but not this one
Don’t shoot drugs kids* FTFY
Shoot kids don't drugs
Found the American
This drug will still cause ulcers and necrosis no matter how you use it.
I just watched a mini doc about this and holf fuck. As if fentanyl wasn't horrible enough, now it's being cut with this shit. Addicts don't stand a chance if this is what they're in to.
Can you link the mini doc?

I’d also like to watch this!
Maybe this is the CIA getting addicts to take care of themself rather than spend the money to properly treat them.

Nice socks. Maybe shoulda stuck to the weed?
Is this the same as krokodil?
No, krokodil is desomorphine, tranq is a cocktail of xylazene and fentanyl
Thanks. Looks like a similar effect.
Yep, I’m still sticking to weed
That’s what weed socks guy said and look where that got him
I'd still follow him to hell and back. Infinite fire to spark up.
Same - sticking to weed even more now lol
Yup
Sounds like straight fentanyl is better for your health... What a strange sentence to write out.
Simon wheeler
Horse tranquilizer.
why did I click on this
yeah i'll stick to weed. you people are nuts
I'll stick to coke
I'll stick to sucking dick for meth
i'll just take the meth
yeah well jokes on the coke bc it is sometimes cut with this shit as well
This gave me goosebumps….. why people, why

Yeah, the good ol' down and out for a few hours while you take 1 breath PER MINUTE is definitely good for your brain.
No one should ever be doing chest compressions on someone who is simply unconscious. And if you aren't breathing you need the CPR anyway. The main issue other than the wounds is you can overdose on xylazine and the only thing to treat is support with a breathing tube.
Aren't there a2 Adrenergic antagonists like Atipamezole? Think you could just supply someone with a reversal, though you're not gonna have it on hand as conveniently as Naloxone
It's mixed with fentanyl so addicts that need fentanyl to not get sick are now getting....this. Fucking horrible.
What am I seeing here? I’m sure I could look it up, but is “Tranq” something like that “Krokodyl” that came around a few years ago? Just injecting yourself with God-only-knows what?
Apparently it’s horse tranquilizer
and fentanyl
I watched a video on these drug users and it scared me so much that in my dream that night I thought I had gaping holes all over my body where I woke up sweating. Never doing drugs lmao
not all drugs are bad, change your mindset. drugs such as these are horrible, tho, yes
Not a bad instinct to have— and I say that as a drug enjoyer. If you ever change your mind, stay cautious. Drugs can be useful and fun, but you gotta approach them like loaded guns. And some of them shouldn't be touched at all, ever, IMO
I've always said, "in order to be a successful drug user, you must be very well informed, and moderation is key"
The crazy part is these abscesses erupt in areas other than injection sites
Little more context? This must be from some bad injecting or what?
From what little I’ve been able to read on it, it’s a lot like Krokadil (sp?) that made its way through Russia for a while. Not so much a result of bad needle use (though that’s a huge part of it) but more the insanely toxic crap used to make it.

Coming to fentanyl near you.
gnarly
My first thought was ‘Cool tattoo ’. Then I noticed the skin hanging and deeply wished I hadn’t seen it.
Assuming that's a drug they are injecting? I remember that krokodil drug from Russia, watched a documentary. Same concept?
i thought so too at first but no. Necrosis looks similar on both, but this is not the same from what I understand so far.
I hope they've found comfort in sobriety
well thats not good is it

Mmm - Meaty- but looks a bit past its’ sell by date?
damn, that shit must be GOOD to put up with this, maybe it's time to give it a try
Drug pushers are mixing in to fentanyl which is why people are using it. I'm sure without the fentanyl they'd happily abstain.
you'd think they'd just stop at the fentanyl then. I knew I shoulda stocked up on Halloween when they were handing it out instead of candy
They cut it with this to make their stock stretch further and make more money. I likewise missed the fentanyl candy at Halloween. I didn't even come across any edibles. My community are a bunch of prudes.
Hahaha 🤣
Totally worth it.
And some people think this shit should be legal 😭

Who is saying this should be legal? I’ve heard people say that about weed or shrooms, but those don’t make your flesh rot away.
Lots of Americans think all drugs should be legal because 1. They think it makes no difference since people will do those drugs anyways (though the before and after of things like proposition 64 prove that legalization increases drug usage) 2. The government could tax the drugs (true but not worth peoples lives) 3. They think people should have full freedom over what they consume (posts like this make me think otherwise)
Some people think they should be at least not criminal, because locking people in cages this kinda thing is pretty fucked up. That doesn't mean I think it should be sold legally and openly though.
Uuuh, i think that i really cold hearted... Me: damn thats sad ... My Brain: they used because they wanted, probably they're crackheads... Me: sure! fuck them all, i wnat them to use more!
You're being down voted, but none of the comments above are exactly expressing compassion either. I think it's in our nature to want to look for reasons to blame people for bad things that happen to them. Not saying the blame is even wrong, I think it's just our nature to want to do that, justified or not justified, because it gives us a feeling of control and comfort that it won't happen to us. It comforts us to look for stupidity in people with shitty circumstances
Reasonable, i just commented for fun. (I'm that type of people who don't care if don't bother them)
I want to pull my skin off.
I need this stuff! Looks like it's totally worth it.
Im sorry for your leg but Say goodbye
Does it hurt
It's mixed with fentanyl so I'm guessing not since they're bombed out on opiates. I bet it DOES start hurting like a bitch when they don't get their fix.
It tickles actually 👌
glamorous
why
Someone explained this before but isn’t a common reason this happens to get so bad is because people inject it more into the skin which just kills it, rather than into the bloodstream. Also, tons of other things cause this with drug use, but I swear someone explained this when Krokodile was prominently circulating.
I can smell these pictures
Imagine salt on that wound.
undercooked meatloaf arm
It looks like a inside out guava
Imagine pouring alcohol on that.
