Just because heroin and fentanyl are prevalent on the streets doesn’t mean that every claim that sounds like it was sourced from a 1990s chain letter is true. That’s an absurd assertion. The commenter I replied to didn’t mention either of these drugs in their comment.
My dude heroin is being cut with fentanyl because it’s significantly more potent and so you can step on it more ( add other shit to make it stretch ) to sell.
The opioid crisis was bad enough before fent hit the streets in it. This is a known thing, totally unrelated to the stupid “they put razor blades in my marijuanas”
So that means xylazine is being mixed in and it even has its own name “tranq?”
Tranq is short for tranquilizer.

Two government sources, which as we all know always report truthfully and without bias about street drugs. The same government that made weed illegal because it “lead to race mixing,” “jazz musicians to create Satanic music,” and caused people to go violently insane.

I also watched a report from Mariana Van Zeller about the drug. She got in contact with people that make the drug and she got a chance to interview police who have to deal with the mess.
Can’t find a link to her report.
