Tranq — The New Drug Scourge

Fentanyl has a new rival

Tranq refers to a combo of fentanyl plus xylazine – an animal sedative and pain reliever used to calm horses and cattle before veterinary procedures.Although not approved for humans, xylazine is being mixed into other street drugs, resulting in a zombie-like daze, intractable overdoses, and rotting ulcerations of the skin and tissues.
