White House announces new plan to address the growing threat of xylazine in overdose crisis
Xylazine, which is commonly known as “tranq,” has helped to accelerate the already-deadly U.S. drug crisis.
The White House on Tuesday unveiled a new plan to address the growing presence of xylazine, a veterinary tranquilizer, in the country’s illicit drug supply.
In recent years, xylazine, which is commonly known as “tranq,” has helped to accelerate the already-deadly U.S. drug crisis. The drug is increasingly being mixed into illicit opioids like fentanyl, contributing to overdose spikes across the country, particularly in northeastern cities like Philadelphia and New York.
