That's more people dying of drug overdose per week in BC than COVID19? This is terrible :-/
Has tranq dope made it's way up there yet?
Here in the states around the major hotspots in the Northeast (started in Baltimore for 1+ years now) in most bags they get it's almost no heroin, little fentanyl, and now a majority benzos + tranquilizer. The primary tranquilizer is one that was used by vets on horses, and no it's not ketamine, it's called xylazine and it's much shorter acting and more addictive. Not to mention it has the side effect of eating away at the flesh of the injection sites (which on a junky are everywhere).
And nope, naloxone doesn't bring them back.
Death and zombies everywhere in those cities. https://youtu.be/82QhIOgJy1c
Note: I'm not actively in the drug scene so may be misinformed and if so, please correct me, but I do know about tranq dope and the reports that it's been spreading out from Maryland to the surrounding states to some time now.
