LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – A flesh-eating “zombie drug” called xylazine has been saturating the streets of Los Angeles with severe, deadly effects when mixed with illicit opioids.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s officials launched a new program to track the troubling prevalence of the substance, which is a sedative typically used by veterinarians to anesthetize animals.

Also known as “tranq” or “tranq dope” on the streets, xylazine has become increasingly present in the illicit drug supply. The drug can be cooked down into a powder form and mixed with illicit opioids such as heroin and fentanyl or pressed into counterfeit pills or sedatives.

The “zombie drug” nickname stems from the substance’s known effect of rotting the skin.

Los Angeles = hell

Well then, the problem of drug users will solve itself. Sad. But....

The Chinese are providing the fentanyl, the Russians are providing the Krokodil?

Nature will take care of the homeless problem.

Large swaths of LA are literally a no-man’s land. I frequently drive through LA to get home when the freeways are blocked or jammed up (which is all the time) - and entire, large areas look like hell scapes.

I believe LA has the largest homeless area in the entire country - it goes on for miles and miles and...

That’s what years and years of godless, corrupt RAT rule will do to an area: turn it into a 3rd world hell hole...and that’s exactly what the RAT elite bassturds want for ALL of America....except for their own gated mansions and enclaves.

Then, again, no doubt vast numbers of white, middle class white kids will take up a TikTok challenge and swallow it down. “See if you survive! Enjoy the zombie experience!!”

Saw a documntary on that and acts/looks like what Russia once had to contend with called Krockadil....it ate the flesh like that as well.

I thank God I got to experience California as a young Marine, back in ‘73 before it went to Hell...................

The problem isn’t homelessness.....the problem is drug abuse and mentally derranged individuals running the streets who are fine with living on the streets as many say they are.

Does the drug actually rot or “eat” flesh? Or is it that the user (abuser) is so apathetic to infections or even pain that it leads to the rotting? They don’t live in the most sanitary conditions to begin with.

You and me both! I grew up in California when it truly was The Golden State.

I was in San Francisco for a month starting active duty in the Navy. I saw the Haight-Ashbury drug scene in person for a few hours and thought, “If this spreads, our country is screwed”.

I don’t see a downside to this issue.
