What Is Tranq?
A Dangerous Synthetic Opioid
Tranq, or xylazine, is a powerful synthetic opioid used as a veterinary sedative and pain reliever for large animals. However, it has increasingly been mixed with other illicit drugs like fentanyl and heroin, creating a deadly combination on the streets.
Disturbing Effects
- Causes severe skin ulcers and abscesses that can lead to amputation
- Respiratory depression and overdose risk
- Increased risk of serious infections and blood disorders
A Growing Crisis
How Does Tranq Affect the Mind and Body?
Physical Effects
- Respiratory depression and coma
- Constricted pupils
- Nausea and vomiting
- Constipation and increased appetite
Mental Impact
- Intense euphoria and relaxation
- Confusion and drowsiness
- Impaired cognition and judgment
- Dissociative “out-of-body” experiences
Tranq, the street name for xylazine, is a powerful sedative used in veterinary medicine. However, its illicit use as a cutting agent or substitute in opioid drugs has skyrocketed. Combining xylazine’s potent effects with other substances amplifies the risk of overdose. According to the DEA, tranq contributed to over 3,000 overdose deaths in 2021 – a staggering 600% increase from 2019.
Health Risks and Complications of Tranq Use
Severe Tissue Damage
- Tranq use can cause severe tissue damage, leading to wounds that may require amputation
- The drug’s potency causes blackened, rotting skin at injection sites
Breathing Issues
- Tranq depresses respiratory function, potentially causing breathing difficulties
- Overdoses can lead to respiratory arrest – a life-threatening complication
Increased Risk of Infections
- Injection drug use raises the risk of infectious diseases like HIV and hepatitis C
- Bacteria from unsterile needles can cause dangerous abscesses and blood infections
Overdose Potential
- Tranq is extremely potent – just a few granules can be a fatal overdose dose
- Overdoses often require multiple doses of naloxone to reverse respiratory depression
The synthetic opioid tranq dwarfs other opioids in potency and danger. Beyond typical opioid risks like addiction and overdose, its horrific side effects include necrosis – the rotting of body tissue. Seeking comprehensive treatment is crucial to overcoming tranq’s devastating effects.
