'The deadliest threat America's ever faced': Mass-produced in China, trafficked from Puerto Rico and available online for just $1 a KILO ‐ why the flesh-rotting zombie drug 'tranq' has the DEA terrified
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Xylazine, also known as 'tranq,' is a sedative often mixed with fentanyl

  • Manufactured from China and popular in Puerto Rico, it's now sweeping the US

  • Unlike fentanyl and other opioids - there is no antidote for overdoses, meaning taking too much xylazine can be a death sentence

#2 If you allow them to kill off their customers, the problem will basically solve itself.

#4 The customers of the CCP are the Cartels, not those being killed. CCP will continue to kill us as it parallels the desires of the globalists.

#5 I know its a much larger topic, but society as a whole has a serious problem with addiction. The longer I watch events the more convinced I am that the powers that be have no real interest in tackling addiction because of the role it plays in keeping the masses from breaking free of the matrix.

#6 These new super-killer drugs mean that once all the volunteers go down, they'll have to put it in the food and water to get the rest of us...

#7 Getting even for flooding Chyna with opium back in the day, tho that was mostly Great Britain. Even if they aren't the most innovative culture, they can sure take an idea and run with it.

#8 Wikipedia: Since the early 2000s, xylazine has become popular as a drug in the United States and Puerto Rico.[24] Xylazine's street name in Puerto Rico is anestesia de caballo, which translates to "horse anesthetic".

Maybe overdoses could be corrected with Ivermectin, Dr. Fauci?

#9 When I was an RA in college back in 1972 the big thing was PCP, another animal drug that was passed off as THC. Things certainly come around the circle.

#11 You can’t make Kamala the Drug Czar; she would definitely get the wrong idea.

#14 The "war on drugs" is all blather. It's like listening to both Trey Gowdy and Jim Jordan, because, as we know, the American people just loooove talk. Lots of talk. But action? I'm not so sure Americans have enough energy due to a lack of caloric intake.

#15 Marx talked a good game about the "Opiate of the Masses". The Republicans and especially the Democrats are into the real thing.
