Tranq, also known as Xylazine, specifically causes flesh wounds.

“A high prevalence of abscesses and painful skin ulcers [13] developed over various body parts irrespective of the IV injection site was reported. The mechanism is thought to be mediated by its direct vasoconstricting effect on local blood vessels and resultant decreased skin perfusion [6]. In addition to vasoconstriction, it causes hypotension, bradycardia, and respiratory depression, leading to lower tissue oxygenation in the skin [14]. Thus, chronic use of xylazine can progress the vasoconstriction and skin oxygenation deficit, leading to severe soft tissue infections, including abscesses, cellulitis, and skin ulceration. Decreased perfusion also leads to impaired healing of wounds and a higher chance of infection of these ulcers [15].”

Prohibition in Singapore works swimmingly. But that’s a single city state. It’s much harder to stop drugs from coming into a country like America.

I don’t think anyone should go to prison for consuming drugs. I also don’t think fentanyl and drugs like it should be made any easier to obtain.

San Francisco has spent so much money trying to solve the fentanyl crisis and yet it still persists. I think the problem lies deeper in our culture. Substance abuse is just a symptom of our cultural illness.

Drug addiction will become a much larger health issue if all drugs are legalized.

I’ve seen what fentanyl and tranq does to people first hand. Walking zombies with decaying flesh wounds that will kill them. Not all drugs should be legal for recreational use.
