A cheap animal tranquilizer being mass-manufactured in China and flooding America's illicit drug supply is terrifying health officials.
Xylazine, or 'tranq' as it's known on the street, has been dubbed a 'zombie drug' due to the hunched-over, lifeless state it leaves users in and fact that it causes users' bodies to erupt in gaping wounds.
It is mainly being mixed with fentanyl to create a fatal cocktail, which the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has described as 'the deadliest threat our country has ever faced.'

With the NBA's love affair with China, players will probably want to invest in it. Maybe advertise it on their shoes.

DEA does not give a damn. The Administration (and Paul Ryan & RINO crew) wants Americans to drop dead. Otherwise they would have SECURED THE BORDER.

It’s not a threat to me or mine. Cynical I know but there it is.

A measure of cynicism is OK here. Darwin is at the table now and as horrific as the proceedings are... we won't be losing the best or brightest (statistically). Don't attack me - aim your outrage at our "elites" who do not care for the lesser of us (or much for the rest, either).

In other more rational times, China's complicity in this drug threat would be grounds for massive political, economic, and even military retaliation. Don't want to interrupt the Bidens' flow of kickback money, though.

Long ago, we should have had a serious as a heart attack southern border wall whose very appearance and towering strength reflected the nation described in our founding documents. A fully and generously elite Border Patrol should have struck fear into bad guys wanting to invade illegally. We never did and we are so dang easy now to invade with the help of an evil tyrannical Washington DC administration and a weak political party as adversary.
God help us. China is not afraid to send anything our way and their men are taking positions up in the interior of our country.

Well, V.P. Kammie (Heels-Up herself!) gave a speech the other day where she mentioned 'lower population' leading to less pollution.
Sounds like this will 'encourage' some of the dopers to knock it off, and will kill the ones who won't stop.
A way to get rid the cities of the worst of the worst.
Who wants to bet that once the Left realizes -and admits- what's going on, it will be a full-on National Health Emergency, and the HairSniffer's handlers will spend Trillions on 'research' to 'cure this horrible plague' affecting the poor 'victims'..... even though the only people directly affected are those taking it, presumably voluntarily.

Trannies beware.
The murdering of drug addicts is no more difficult than the murdering of people dependent on hormone shots.
If the gov't allows one group to be killed off, it can, when convenient, kill off your group.

America's useless street parasites will happily ingest all that China can send here. I am past caring for those who voluntarily kill themselves. The problem will take care of itself.

Some here who advance the position that it's not a worry to them, or that it serves those 'losers' right should consider this: FTA: 'Because xylazine is usually fixed with fentanyl or heroin, it is commonly injected - but can also be swallowed, smoked, or snorted.' If it can be swallowed, it can be given to someone who can take it unknowingly. THAT is a terrifying possibility. China really does want us dead, and this is merely another prong of their attack. Others include: buying our president and degrading our military with woke BS.

The Biden family has a lot invested in China and gangland cartels from all over the world. He doesn’t care about the American people. He hates us and so does his puppet master BHO. There has got to be a reckoning and it has got to come from America’s men. Their fundamental job is to keep their families safe. It is written in their DNA. Argue about women’s rights all you want but with an effeminate and prissy male population the country is toast.

Their Covid release didn't kill enough of us so they send in Tranq.
Treatment is going to be expensive, but WTH as long as Joe gets his cut.

Predator drones with Hellfire missiles targeting the cartels’ headquarters would slow this down. A few thousand dead cartel members will get their attention and, if Obrador complains about airspace violations, send him a bill for the missiles.

Many well thought out comments,; all ringing true. As a precious metals person (when fiat dies) I can tell you a kilo is 32.15 ounces. All for a buck. These people must be in a lot of pain.

Call it what you want to call it, but the simple fact is...we are at war. We have been and are being infiltrated; some of the most dangerous enemies hold seats in Washington and think nothing of destroying our nation for money, power, and influence. My question for them is; What will you then have if our Nation is destroyed? You've sold your soul to the enemy and Satan owns you!

Fifty-two years - - and trillions of dollars - - have not been enough. We need to massively fund the "War On Drugs" for at least another fifty-two years.
Yes - - that will do it!

Pardon the second post.
I'm not a precious metals person - - but - - I seem to recall that there are 35.274 ounces in a kilo. Or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Re #22, from memeory, a kilo is roughly 2.2 lbs, a lb is 16 oz, so that works out to about 35.2 oz to a kilo....so I'd say your memory is right on the money and more precisely remembered than my "2.2" is.

It all comes back to everyone must follow their own instincts...and question every medication that is referred by the health czars....while living in Canada...I learned early about government running the health care systemm...it prescribes pills for everything and that's why so many young Canadians are on dialysis...and there are such few doctors in Canada and so few hospitals...

My concern about this drug (and Fentanyl) is that either or both are used to contaminate our food or water supply. Otherwise, the primary victims will be people who willingly inject it, snort it, smoke it or eat it. I have little or no sympathy for people who take illegal street drugs. They're playing Russian Roulette with their bodies, and if their time is up, so be it.

China again. And all Joe ever does is send over cabinet members and czars to bow and kowtow and obsequiously suffer (preferably with a smile) whatever insults their Chinese counterparts have chosen to hurl at them that day. Disgusting.
