Xylazine (aka “Tranq or “Zombie Drug”) is on the rise as a contaminant in substances. In April, 2023, the Biden-Harris Administration designates Fentanyl combined with Xylazine as an Emerging Threat to the United States. Xylazine is a non-opioid tranquilizer approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for veterinary use but not human use.
