- In this PIX11 News special, a prominent researcher in Puerto Rico says he warned the medical community about the animal tranquilizer xylazine, known on the streets as “tranq,” 15 years ago when he was a Ph.D. student in New York City and encountered addicts who'd been flown to multiple U.S. states for treatment.

America is decaying from inside out
All by design. So sad. The governments want the citizens to be compliant, sick and unarmed so that they can steal and pillage and keep everything for themselves and live decadent prosperous, healthy lives, while everyone else suffers. It’s disgusting.
Unfortunately accurate statement
@@tankgirl_3846 it was always rotten.
@@jistsomeguy also accurate and what does something rotten do but decay hmm?
Yep. This is merely a symptom--an end result of decades of broken promises by politicians & business leaders to bring justice & economic prosperity to the working class. Adults who have never known anything but poverty, trauma, hopelessness, joblessness, loss of community, loneliness/isolation & wealth inequality are bound to turn to drugs & other maladaptive coping mechanisms. So many rural towns & inner cities (and even suburbs) look like bombed out warzones that drug addiction is inevitable. Google "deaths of despair" for more.
I feel bad for first responders, too. How repulsive and exhausting to fight this devastation.
The drug is repulsive… I never would think of a patient that way, but the situation? Yeah.
Life is not REPULSIVE glad ur not a first responder.
@@ms.chrisie8040 That is such a naive statement... kiddy touchers are not repulsive? stop using blanket statements....
@@rogerelzenga4465 what???? Stfu.
They take care of severely burned victims, people in accidents who have lost limbs. They are human, but they are trsined. I hope you don't mean repulsive as in the humane suffering in their addiction?
I have personally been on all of this and just recently got sober. Thanks to suboxone. To me the trank does not give you a higher feeling it actually just puts you to sleep and mimics like you're getting high but you wake up feeling worse and lose multiple hours of the day. Tolerance raises fast. Please try the Bernice method if anybody is trying to get off the fentanyl and trank , that was the best way for me. It will work. this has been in my neighborhood for over ten years. I personally know and now its a epidemic. Shouldve started this years ago, but at least we are now. Start with the top dealers or countries its coming from. This is what other countries want for us to fail anyway possible. This is our weakness. Please let's pray and get it together so sad. Wish I could tell my story. I've come along way and got along way to go. GOD SPEED AND BLESSING
Thoughts are with you stay strong ! May you never return to this x
Take care of yourself. Please!!!
@ deanna scott,
Thank you for your thoughtful contributions and honesty. You are a courageous and strong person.
Prayers for your continued healing and fortitude.
@Deanna Scott I am extremely happy for you. Very happy to know that you have a good shot at a decent life. Getting on that stuff just makes you a slave that's all it does. And you're absolutely right it's coming from other countries. I would really like to talk to you through email if possible I have a family member that I would like to attempt to help I don't know if it's going to happen not sure what you're talking about as far as the Bernice method but it seems like you really recommend that so is there a way that I can get in touch with u? Email maybe?
Keep up the good work.
You don't know how bad Kensington is until you see it for yourself, trust me. First hand, it's one of the most frightening sights you'll ever see.
I lived a mile from Kensington beach, because of that area the whole city is going downhill. There were four murders in rittenhouse before I left. The community needs to demand more action. Not homes a treatment first. Don’t become like Vancouver. Stay strong Philly!!!!
Did Biden & Harris ever visit Kensington?
We don't have this in good countries...
I’ll take your word for it
I’ve seen the videos on CZcams & it is wild. It’s like it’s another world. It’s crazy it’s in a US city. I’m sure it’s democrat run. Their policy’s just aren’t good for most cities. That’s why we see such a break down in society within these cities. Their DA’s are way to soft on crime & they allow people to run a muck.🤦🏽♂️
As a Nurse, I have seen patients coming in with round, cigarette burn type lesions. Sepsis setting in, respiratory issues, necrotic legs, feet, hands. Then wanting to go AMA to get more. It's heartbreaking.
Yes , it’s heartbreaking
🎉
This is facts. Sometimes they don’t sign AMA, they just elope.
Tell them to stop using it!
@@xjuhoxyes because that's how drug addiction works ...
Y'all did a GREAT JOB covering this story.. though it's only just beginning to be told, it's a story that must be told .no Sugar coating just STR8 from the hip.
I was hoping it was gonna stop and stay in Philly. Damn it.
Ok....why do the drug dealer's want to kill their customers 😒. Is it cheaper for the drug makers to add this crap into the heroin/now I guess its all fetintal now? But they said it makes the heroin effect last longer. No body wants to be like these poor lost addicted souls. They need long term drug rehabilitation. Somebody wants these people dead!
why are we seeing that only in the US?? yes drugs are everywhere, but not a that scale, nearly every city is full of people taking the hardest stuff, fentanyl, Tranquilizer mix, maybe i'm crazy but i think the US administration is involved in all this, it is a multi million dollar business!
How sad this is no joke
Some of us fight to live while others fight to die.Sad world.
Broken world
I really don't think they want to die, it's just a situation they don't have control about
Don’t do drugs, kids.
shut up kid.
I'm gonna do them, only because you said not to do it.
@@punyothepotato7421 someone has demand avoidance lmao
Parents who claim it was a one time thing are in denial themselves 😢 So sad, it all starts with a choice 🙏
Yup. every addiction starts by choice. In some cases it's a cultural issue, where too many people think certain drugs are a good thing, or kids follow other kids into certain drugs (herd mentality, bandwagon effect, etc), but in other cases it's people trying to cope with their problems. And the main reason why the war on drugs is so utterly useless, is because it doesn't even begin to address any of the actual problems. It just mindlessly assumes the drug itself is the problem.
Only soccer moms can do drugs
@@skaruts Are we seriously blaming children for making stupid decisions?
@@annjepsen1621 Yes. And blaming parents, like mine. Zero, hands off parenting. Thousands of clueless parents who do not teach their children well. "It happens to someone else's kids, not mine. They're angels."
@@annjepsen1621 Yes. We are all responsible for our decisions. I've been there myself (fortunately not on heroin), and I can blame no one but myself. Drugs didn't pull me in. I pulled myself in because I wanted to.
In some cases you can also blame questionable friends for pulling other kids in, or authoritarian parents that make kids too rebellious or suicidal or something like that. It can happen that that shitty friends force other kids in, but that's very rare in my experience.
You could also read Christiane F's book on heroin addiction (english title is Zoo Station, iirc), to get a glimpse of the mindsets that people can go through. In her case, she had a really bad relationship with her single mother for a start, and she pushed herself into heroin as a way to cope with it.
I struggle with alcohol..I never tried any of the hard shit, but alcohol is already hell on earth, I can’t imagine this stuff
I’ve been having issues with it too. I’m more of a functioning alcoholic as I drink at work too.. but it’s stopping tomorrow (I already drank today) this shit is nasty and makes me feel sick and in pain anyway. I’m pouring the rest out fr.
Alcoholic here, 3 years sober, best thing I've ever done in my life. I promise you it gets better and eventually you become sick thinking about letting a liquid have so much control over you. God bless and stay strong.
That was a really good documentary!! I "was" a fentanyl addict.Tranq is what made me quit...screw that.People need to understand that these drug addicts are choosing not to get clean...you can't fix that.There is life after fentynal but you have to want it and most of these drug addicts don't.
That’s wonderful that you walked away from your addiction. It shows how strong you are compared to others who continue this slow death. My friends son died just about four months ago from an overdose, he relapsed after two years. Continue to love yourself and if you have a sign of a weakness you call your friends to give you your strength back. You’re a strong one congrats!!!!!
thays awesome! but please remember every addict has a different story..don't be one of those who got clean and now judges others..
@@hawaiiflowers7066 so sorry for your loss..I lost my son in law and my nephew the next week..this generation has it so hard..when I was young we had booze and Marijuana..not this crap that's killing our kids before they even get started!
@@hawaiiflowers7066 thankyou for the kind words.🥰
@@tiggercampbell6198 I'm not "judging" anyone I'm telling facts...
God Bless those precious men trying to stop this evil crap. Terrible. My heart is broken!!!!!
No, the Americans did this to themselves. As usual, they blame others for their problems...
Whoever replies “let it happen,” I want to see what happens when your own loved ones do this and they can’t break out of the cycle on their own.
6:31 no lie I was getting high under that bridge in Grand Concourse running those streets in the South Bronx amongst the other addicts for 11 months. I dragged myself to a 28 day program and immediately flew out to Florida to escape that exact area. It’s something you would see in a movie. It’s crazy to sit here now and notice the exact spot I was getting high at on the news. It’s been 19 months since I have last been there. It’s absolutely crazy out there but the addict in me loves the chaos. I still have dreams about that area.
Sooo glad your out . Praying the Lord gives you strength to break the hold.
Prayers for your continued strength. Your contribution here is both generous and appreciated. ☮️
Stay strong
You've done good by yourself. Stay strong ❤
Stay away from drugs.
How is everyone getting animal tranquilizers and I can’t even get my prescription meds 2 days early??!!
I know right! I get sick and ask for keflex and can't get it...but we can get this??
I’m so glad I got my wild side out during the aughts. I badly hurt my back and ended up dependent on opioid pills from doctors. The dependency soon turned into a full blown addiction. My monthly prescriptions were not enough. I loved fentanyl but only the pharmaceutical prescription kind. I never did the street stuff. I knew exactly what I was getting. Even then it could be dangerous but didn’t care. I would cut the patch into strips and either eat the gel inside or chew on it. Finally I woke up one day and realized I couldn’t live like that anymore. Thank God.
Jesus Christ man you're chewing on patches I'm glad you got it together
@@mikeeckhoff20 appreciate it. Yeah that was my drug of choice but I’d take any opioid medication. Thing is you have to want to get better. So when I see people being forced into rehab and what not, it rarely sticks.
The way drugs effect people varies so much . I come from a family of addicts so I've never even smoked a joint . A couple years ago I had really bad nerve pain from a dislocated rib . They gave me the limit of fentanyl in the ER and it did nothing . The nurs said she couldn't believe it because I'd had enough to " down a rhino " .
Chiropractor put the rib back in place .
You just didn't feel like doing it anymore? Sounds like u got pretty lucky
❤
I got arrested in the 70s for open liquor. Drinking a beer at a beach. How are these losers allowed to be completely 'out of it' and the police just walk by. When you buy drugs, it's Russian Roulette... some win, some lose.
You think arresting them is going to stop what they are into?
Move to a better country.
having a constant drug problem keeps all the woke 'harm reduction' workers in jobs. it requires about 27 levels of woke liberal art school graduate administrators for the government to support social housing, drug testing sites and street social work and those 30 days of detox and rehab.
Can you imagine that there isn't enough man power to go in an arrest everyone? There wouldn't be any jail cells for actual violent offenders? It sounds crazy!!! I'm sorry about your little arrest, it seems like you're resentful about something that happened 50 years ago.. about a crime you obviously committed.. It's a big universe out there and you're not the center of it. 🙄
Lol look at these lefties just throwing up their hands and saying we should do nothing. Maybe if they lived there and were mugged and shot all the time they'd agree that to take drug users off the streets yes, keeps the drugs off the streets and the rest of us safe. Especially women.
I refused my good friend's offer of special K over 15 years ago which he said is horse tranquilizer but as if now he has cancer. Sober is priceless.
Special K is ketamine
You got the answer why this drug abuse keeps on going.. a half trillion $ business
American people love this. They did this to themselves.
My son was 26 & 1day.. accidentally died from this shit.. it not only effects those that die but those families left behind 😢.. all drug dealers of this shit should be locked up for 25 yrs automatically.
are you implying the government is squeaky clean and has nothing to do with it?
@@an0therdimensi0n99 I'm thinking if its stronger than the other drugs, its heavier making it more likely to kill, why would drug cartels make something to kill their clients, the profit will drop.
We lost our son Jan 23. He was 31. Fkn terrible crap.
Just lost two family members, one nephew to drug-induced suicide, meth crystal, one to massive heart attack, [he's barley hanging on in a hospital] again meth. Young people these days do not come to an understanding with what and how much their bodies can handle, in my youth [the fifties], we knew all too well that no one, NO ONE, can handle hard drugs or hard liquor.
Yeah, no drug problems then. 😂
@ Jess 🙏 🙏
My condolences on your family members.
Drugs in the fifties and sixties was nothing compared to what's around these days.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss😢
i was laced with 5 liquid grams of crystal meth in a drink a few years back and it's a miracle im still here. Im so sorry for your losses
We have to take responsibility for our well being, I am not buying what they are selling. No one is holding a gun to anyone's head forcing them to buy drugs, it's a choice. Please let's get to the root of the problem
7 cents 😳 omg their returns are insane it’s definitely gon be hard to stop that
Money is the root of all evil. So many people have their hands in it.... sO many. Blessings and Love sent to you and your family.
You did a really great job with this report!! Very well thought out and delivered..people need to know what is going on around them and be warned about shit like drugs that will kill you
And you have Oregon decriminalizing drug use and paraphernalia possession with Washington State following suit. Drug laws and incarceration are tools to use that work to get people into drug programs and saves lives, like it did for me. Over two years clean. Granted it took a felony, prison time and a christian recovery program to finally get me there but it worked and saved my life.
Oh, well aren’t you special.
I am glad you found your way out of hell.
Washington state is NOT following suit, stop spreading false information.
Congrats!!!
So ignore all the studies because of your anecdotal conclusion? Got it
I came to Phila at the age of 5 , and grew up here. It was once such a beautiful city , and it saddens me greatly what it's become. In my youth Kensington was considered one of the many great business districts, not anymore 😢 I wouldnt be caught dead walking through there now , day or night ! Sadly , my grandkids other grandparents live not too far from there. Theyve been advised to move from there but they wont , as a small fortune was spent on rehabbing their home, back when it was a beautiful area to live in. Besides , with these out of control rents and property pricing these senior citizens dont want to risk putting themselves in a financial bind. Just totally heart breaking that this once beautiful city is in the toilet , and people are stuck. 😭😭😭
Prayers to your community. 💔
I can’t even imagine how heart breaking is must be to watch yr community falling in to this state. Prayers for all involved with this. Incredibly sad.
It’s not all of Philadelohia. The city contains the zombie’s in that one neighborhood. Most of the city is like any other American city. Tourists would have to go looking to find the zombie land.
You can see it was a lovely area. Some of the houses are beautiful, so sad to see this 😢
@@harrowgateguyain’t that crazy. Pushed to one area. While nothing more can be done to end the dealers and rehabilitate the users. But it’s always a choice 😞
So often junkies are portrayed as Saints ,victims, and heroes all rolled into one. They are not.
Nobody is a saint.we are all sin filled.believe me even gossiping can send you hellbound.if you don't believe it's yr choice but everyone for the pettiest reason are not good people
Meanwhile people with chronic pain are being taken off literal life saving meds .Dr.s are being jailed for helping us . Only 5% of chronic pain patients taking their meds as perscribes are dying of overdose we are being treated like street adicts. Whats worse is people who rely on these meds to even be able to fight the pain to be able get out of bed everday are being taken off the meds, and when the pain becomes too much they either just flat out commit suicide or end up going to the steets thinking they'll find regular prescription opoids which are not on the streets anymore and they are dying . We have to find a way to keep treating real chronic pain patients and also get these killer drugs off the streets. I now have medical ptsd due knowing at my next appointment my Dr. could just say his liscense is more important or the pharmacy can just decide they dont want to fill it. I have no disks between between 7 of my vertabre bone on bone where nerves get crushed in between I live in constant pain . Without meds its 8-9 level pain my meds make it a 6-7 thats all day everyday. We are being lumped in with drug seekers . Even after surgery hospitals are resfusing to give pain meds.....even after open heart surgery. We must get these drugs off the streets and allow true healthcare not be considered the same as whats going on the streets. Untill this gets fixed not a single dime should be going to any other countries we must help our country first or there will be no more America to ever help any countries.....think of it as always put your oxygen mask on first before you try and help others.
Why? Just why? Ive lived through hell my whole life, but nothing ever made me want to do drugs. Im 62, and never been drunk, let alone high. Why would anyone do this to themselves?
your comment really hit
It's just sad, sad that people are so sick that they'll put any old bullshit in their veins
Thank you for bringing us this video some keep on publishing it because we can save some people before they get into for if you're doing a great job and God bless you I pray that God give you whatever you need to keep these videos on the air
I’ve been addicted to opiates for 20 years and have white knuckled withdrawal many times. So, I know what it’s like. I would never, ever buy a pill off the street these days. Never. That’s just me. It’s a death sentence.
I can understand your dilemma and it’s really sad.
Failed drug policy and then dealers don’t care if the customer dies. It used to be until like 2006, heroin was much cleaner and some of my acquaintances would be functioning daily addicts.
Then you should be strong enough to give it up, you .

Hi😊 SJ AFB, Goldsboro
Thank you for airing this story 🙏♥️
This is so very sad. I'd like to think it hasn't made its way to Australia, but that would be naive. 😢😢
There's no such thing as Australia...
I'm 46 , to me australia has become a thing , for fires , dyeing kangaroo, and burt up koala bears ? That sending money will help ? So no idea it's like Africa as a kid 25 cents a day saves a child ? It never helped ?
It is in Melbourne big time
Thank you for sharing this video. I have never heard of this drug. But i do see people like this 😢 so sad.
This is why drugs need to be legalized and regulated because if this tranq is in 90% of the drug market, how is a drug addict supposed to avoid it. And I know someone out there will say "just don't do drugs" but that is unrealistic and naive. I am an ex heroin user and can say I would not at all enjoy this Tranq in my hit. But if it is a choice of being extremely ill from withdrawal or taking my chances with tranq, then I wouldn't have much of a choice, would I?
Let me ask you this. In many states, weed is legalized. In those states, you have to buy it from a registered Weed Shop. Now, where this occurs, does the illegal sale of weed still exist? If you've kept up with legal weed, you know the answer is yes, it still exists. I agree legalizing in some form is needed, but I'd start with decriminalizing use of the drugs. But only - ONLY - if the state follows through with proper detox and medical treatment services. Because without the latter, whatever you do won't work.
What is the reason why they ain’t regulated ?
I have 2 main reasons .
1. Governments are involved
2. If drugs are made legal no criminal makes money so they move to other crimes , namely violent crimes such as armed robbery .
DRUGS HAVE SINGLE HANDEDLY RUINED EVERY TOWN AND EVERY VILLAGE IN THIS COUNTRY 👍
I'll give you a point there, but I'm still not sure what the best answer is.
@@empty-ed This isn't a casual problem, it runs into the fabric of our society. Eventually we're going to have to ask - why do so many people today feel a desire and need to get out of their head? It's not just the homeless addicts - it's the casual weed smokers, the casual drinkers. Why is altering the mind through one drug or the other seen as perfectly acceptable?
As for regulation - what regulation are you looking for? There are tons of regulations already, and the US spends $51bn every single year on the "War on Drugs". What are you expecting to regulate beyond that?
Drugs have indeed ruined a lot, but as the NRA would say, it's not just the drugs that did this - it's the people taking the drugs, and we simply have to figure out why they choose to do it.
It’s very realistic to say “just don’t do drugs.” You could just go to a bar, like most of us do. Your choice: your problem.
Everyone said how cool would it be to go through a zombie apocalypse. You got what you wanted, so now deal with it.
The only way to fight the drug problem is to improve people's lives. Healthcare, good paying jobs, housing, and a good quality of life.
Its not that simple, but those things would definitley help.
I couldn’t agree with you more! Some people just gave up on life cus they couldn’t find help. Family..friends…people just turned away from them
The best way to improve one's life is to do it themselves, not sitting around waiting for the gov't to do it for them with handouts. People need to educate themselves with skills and stay out of trouble in order to get 'good-paying jobs'.
@PatrickMJr It is. They just won’t do it. Same reason the drugs are on the street in the first place.
Go after pfizer at end of day no matter how much comes in the majority is domestic not foriegn
If you can't get off drugs. Sometimes death is the only way out. There is nothing we can do about it.
Anybody selling that stuff should get life in jail....
So they can sell it in jail too?
@@meghancass3187Great idea this is a Monopol 😂
I dont understand, if these people are homeless, broke . How are they getting these drugs ? Free drugs are given to them? Help me to understand this.... 😮
Public Assistance monthly allowance, ssi, theft, prostitution
How are they getting these drugs 🤔? Through lying, cheating and stealing is how addicts support their habits.🙊🙉🙈🦁👁️
They use this new drug add to the mix they can sell them cheaper but the results are definitely horrid.
they steal, become prostitutes,
Theft, selling bags of plastic, prostitution, chauffeuring for drug dealers are some amongst many
Damn. I’m a recovering heroin addict…thought that was really bad. But I was able to hold down a job, high on dope. If I had the misfortune to get hooked on this stuff I’d absolutely be dead. This is so sad.
I’m currently a functioning alcoholic. It’s been months since I’ve drank but have been working so much lately I started drinking hard liquor again, even at work. Almost every day. I don’t drink on my days off tho. But I’m only 23 for gods sake. I’m done with it. I’m pouring the rest of this whiskey out, it makes me depressed and makes my stomach and muscles hurt anyway so why the fuck do I keep drinking it?? It made me feel happier only a FEW times at work and now I keep trying to find that happiness again. But it doesn’t work anymore. So I’m done now.
I got a blood clot in my leg after my vacc1ne which caused a serious ulcer on my leg. I had doctors asking me weird questions repeatedly about drug use and I have no history of that. Finally I asked one doctor why did you ask me that ? and he told me about this trend. I cannot imagine having this wound without my monthly wound clinic and my clean dressings and medicine. 😢Prayers to these people. Heartbreaking 💔
If I’m not mistaken, I’ve seen a documentary about this type of drug 10 years ago but it was happening in Russia. I’m not sure if it was tranq but it left the person with necrosis of the limbs
You are talking about Krokodil, which is not the same drug as tranq, but the side effects are VERY similar!

This is horrific 😢. I'm dreading the day that it makes it's way over here to the UK as a fully blown endemic. Praying for all who are caught up in this deadly cycle and their families 🙏🏻🇬🇧✨
Not only tranq. In this document the coroner is talking about carfentanyl - it was used by russian police in gas form in 2002 in Dubrovka theather where It killed a lot of people. I read a statement of a women who was using It with her partner as if fentanyl wasn't enough. According to her words : carfentanyl needs more doses like any strong opioid but real ride starts when you try to quit. She describe It like undescribed pain and as she wrote she and her man almost died . In one sentence: carfentanyl is poison, shit and made by devil
You know this is happening but you stop legal medication for so many people that really need it. Decriminalize all drugs so garbage like animals tranquilizers can hopefully end fast. Let's face it a addict will always continue to find something to get there fix.
I want to agree with you, and partially do, but not completely. I'd legalize all drugs - BUT - only if the each state was mandated to provide detox and medical services to the addicted. Right now, adequate help is not available. The real way through life is not take these drugs at all. Allowing addicts to get drugs can be a path to recovery, but recovery must be the ultimate goal, not simply to enable addiction.
@@MaterLacrymarum I agree but it only works when the person addicted wants to stop
@@painpatientsaddiction3640 Of course. We've lost so many people thus far, and we'll always have a number that don't make it. Right now we're essentially just leaving them to die. We really ought to be providing the kind of care that could help them, but the general public see no good in helping them.
@@MaterLacrymarum I agree with you
@ The answer is both simply, and obvious - because they can, and because it's the right thing to do. Health care in the richest country of the world ought to be available. With all the money governments waste, why are you objecting to a government taking care of the health of its citizens? We, as a nation, aren't judged on how we treat the rich, we're judged on how we treat the poorest among us. This is nothing like bikes.
Amazing documentary.
Sad. Stopping the supply route is extremely hard. Prayers
I'm an addiction counselor.. and it's so hard for these people to get off Fent
THANK YOU for what you do!! ❤❤ We definitely need more addiction counselors that actually care!! I love my counselor so so so much, he has saved my life and has saved me from relapsing MANY times!! ❤❤
what gets me is the people who have never tried it that instead of taking a step back and seeing what it does to people who use it and thinking 'f@#k no! im not gonna end up like that!' they just go for it and end up a mess, a statistic or both
Most people (outside of Philadelphia) don't know they're using xylazine. It's mixed in with the fentanyl.
@@sugarsore Even if you don't know what you are taking, he's saying you can clearly see what it does to the people around you. So why the hell would somebody see the results and still decide to use?
@@TheBlindNiggaMC This drug is so new that all most addicts are seeing other people do is get very sleepy.
@@sugarsore the one dude literally said he sees people slumped over dragging their knuckles on the ground like an animal something he's never seen so obviously people are still making the conscious decision to use this stuff even after knowing the side effects.
@@TheBlindNiggaMC that's in Kensington, Pennsylvania. Kensington is very different from the rest of the country (other than skid row).
I know how addictive fentanyl is and how it can ruin your life. I went from having about 15 grand in my bank account to being in the negative $700 every week after working 80 hours. Methadone is what save me. I'm still trying to get out of the negative, but at least I'm not using fentanyl no more. If you guys are trapped the best thing to do is get some type of maintenance program going. That stuff is horrible and it makes you think it's taking care of your problems in your thoughts but trust me they come back tenfold once you're off of it, and you don't have the stuff. Tolerance goes up so fast.
I'm English and I used to be on methadone 20 years ago. Going cold turkey from that was the closest I've ever got to hell on earth. I hope you're doing well now 🙏🏻
What an excellent news story, very captivating. Great job😁😁
I got off heroin over 26 years ago. Fenteyl, let alone tranc was never heard of. If I ever had a desire to use "one more time". All I have to do is watch people of Kensington and that would change my mind. It is so scary what is out there. I don't even think heroin even exists any more. So glad I kicked that decades ago.
If only money could be spent on helping people and stopping all of this instead of being spent on war.
We all have a hole inside us, a void it seems. It's beyond a shame that people use drugs to fill that void. Heartbreaking
Philly been and still like this in Kensington its a mess
Who would mix this into the drugs knowing it would be killing your customers?
4:42 why or how is there a drone sitting in the upper left corner of the screen? It's propellers don't turn. Or is it only one of the propellers that does not turn? Anyway, why is it there? Does it accompany the drone filming and why?
It's the cameras frame rate. Makes it look like they don't spin. It's a illusion of the frame rate. Even though cameras are digital they still operate the same as old times.
@@adamtedder1012 Okay, thank you. But do you know why it is there anyway? It's not recoding. It is recorded.
Why are tranq videos, posted by news organizations, so similar to trailers for horror films? The music, the transitions, the voices, the titles, etc…the entire coverage 🤯
Because it is a horror film
Bro we have been screaming about tranq for that past 6 1/2 years in PA, and now they think its worth a show. If you all would have listened when we first tried raising attention to it, it could have saved thousands.
Sounds like you fucked up...should have told more people, or more important people ..but good try tho I guess
If heroin, weed and cocaine weren't made illegal there'd be no need for synthetic drugs.
Think about it
Fentanyl crisis is turning folks into zombies.. it’s so tragic.. 😳😳
Fentynal isn't turning them into zombies, zylazine is
The Government should give this drug out free of charge. Great way to end drug addiction and homelessness at the same time.
Yea maybe this is like a eugenics thing where they want the homeless and mentally ill dead so just get them hooked on drugs and poison the drug supply... Genius!!! 🧠🤔🤔🤔
What's wrong with you
Great attitude...anyone and I mean ANYONE can fall through the cracks and turn to drugs anyone of us is a step away from homelessness in this current state ..the vet that comes back from war and can't cope, the young mom that hasn't slept more than 3 hours a night for weeks the full time carer that is on the edge of a nervous breakdown the teenager that's being raped at home by a parent .everyone that is homeless has a story and most are horrific and sometimes drugs are an escape ..but so nice to see your way of dealing with homeless human beings and addicts is murder ...your humanitarian award is in the post ...or perhaps you just work for the government ...
What, an put all the dealers on welfare? You're a commie.
Have patience. The Americans will all be gone soon enough.
Americas drug problem is unprecedented
I saw one yesterday in dollar store. In a worse situation looked exactly like a zombie, with his eyes closed all the time. Didn’t know what’s wrong with that young man. Very sad . Very scary. He was literally walking dead.
I had a question, someone please answer me, are there any methadone clinics in America? please
This is so horrible these ppl suffering so much they need real help &compassion
They won't get none of that with the current medical system.
Teach your kids to not play with drugs. Life is more than being addicted and souless, like a zombie
Oh yahh because the “just say no” campaign really worked eh. We need to educate kids about drugs with actual facts. Quit saying things like “drugs will melt your brain and turn you into a zombie” because it’s not true. Im 20 years old and growing up I was told all the same things. We even had a drug awareness class in school once a year. I seriously believed that if I did drugs I would never be the same again but then a friend smoked weed and nothing happened to him. I tried it, nothing happened to me either. Friends tried other drugs and they didn’t turn into zombies so I tried other drugs and guess what, it felt amazing. I’ve been fighting addiction for a quarter of my life now. Nobody told me they make you feel great?? Yes in the long term drugs will impact your life in some way but kids don’t see long term they live with what they got right now. You don’t become “soulless” overnight it can take years of drug use before they really start to mess up your life. In the beginning it’s just for fun but somewhere along the line you lose yourself. Suddenly you can’t remember the high hopes and the dreams you had as a kid. You quit believing in yourself and slowly everybody around you does too. Addiction comes in all shapes and sizes. Rich or poor. Black or white. Young or old. Functioning addicts do exist in society. Alcohol, Nicotine, Caffeine are among the most addictive drugs on the planet. I can go on forever. Drugs are not the problem. Lack of education and drug abuse is the problem. As a kid you always trust the grown ups in the room and they flat out lied to us
Is there any way to tell if the fentanyl/heroin has that in it? Is there a certain color to look for?
What happens if you skin or muscle pop it? Does it do that same damage to the tissue?
What about if you snort it or smoke it?
I heard from somebody I knew in Portland, he said he got a spider bite on his leg, he was going to lose his leg. I told him years ago, he needs to always keep antibiotics on him. I wondered if it was this stuff. I haven't heard from him since. He got into heroin. IDK If you have people out there, this is scary ✨🕊stay blessed and safe, I hope y'all find what you need to get free of this✨
Its called krokidil in Europe and causes the open wounds and necrosis of the skin and tissue. Amputations are often the result.
Goodness how high can one want to get. Prayers
oh God please bind the darkness in those who are trying to kill the addicted..
This is so sad, and heartbreaking..
Is this the same as croc? With the skin reactions?
We have this stuff called SPICE on the streets here in UK. Obviously the drug problem is out of control. If you had 107,000 people at a gig they would be passed away & the venue would be empty of life. That is quite disturbing !!!. I smoked,I tripped,I snorted but not anymore it's"more than Dangerous Along with Homelessness the situation is multiplied. A terrible crisis. Where is the Answer ?? & how to deal with it ?? IF ya can't get HELP
It's in the UK also
.
It's because western countries have bad families.
Spice is garbage, it's awful stuff, terrible high i hear, why? We don't need it stateside with weed being legal practically everywhere, spice is a garbage, trash drug for garbage, trash people
Tranq has been out for yrs (other countries) , it's just now getting to these areas , and it's a Beast of a drug !!
Didn't they call this crocodile in Russia some 10yrs ago??
@@ivanc9231o, different drugs. Google "Xylazine" and then "Krokodil (drug)". The effect on tissue when injecting seems to be similar though.
In Southeast Asia, you never see street junkies. They have better families, unlike the Americans.
Which countries?
Can you smoke tranq and get wounds or do you have to shoot up?
What does this say for how we are doing as a society?
That shit needs to be takin off the shelves make it very hard to purchase
I love how the DEA never brings up the fact that if we regulated the recreational drugs in this country, like we do with cannabis in some states, the cartels would be gone and the DEA would get WAY less money--big hint: that is why they don't mention that. It is not like making the drugs illegal actually stops people from using them, obviously. Keep doing the same thing and expect different results is the definition of insanity or capitalistic/police state tactics.
Feeds our "judicial system".
The worst thing about your point is it's totally logical and obvious...and yet the opposite is being done.
Legalizing marijuana has actually made things worse. Dealers now steal from the dispensaries and undercut the price on the streets. They can easily lace it with fentanyl.
The best way to deal with the epidemic is to refuse to take part in it. If you say no the first time, it never becomes an issue.
Funny thing, that's what pro-pot politicians said about legalizing marijuana in the states that have done so. But guess what, the unregulated black-market street dealers are STILL doing very well for themselves selling mucho maryjane in those states. I imagine the same would happen if so-called 'legalizing' other drugs were to happen. Also, legalizing drugs gives the impression to impressionable minds that 'using' drugs for recreational purposes is OK and 'safe' and acceptable, and would no doubt lead to even more potential partakers who could wind up with a problem. The potential for abuse will always be ever-present when it comes to using mind-altering/numbing drugs for whatever purpose. We already have an ever-growing out-of-control problem with drug addiction that can only grow worse with lessening the stigma of such activity. The reason Kensington has gotten so bad is because the Philly Dem Mayor, City Council and DA have told the police to 'just let the addicts and homeless be' out on the streets, in public, and thus ruining the neighborhoods for the sober law-abiding citizens. Such an approach only enables the bad behavior. What was once a thriving shopping district is now riddled with empty store-fronts and profuse amounts of litter and trash (including thousands of discarded hypo needles).
I guess it depends on what one considers recreational, I personally don't think, heroin,meth and coke are rec drugs
Prayers for my sisters and brothers still out there using ,its a life of pure HELL!! WE ONLY CAN GET LUCKY SO MANY TIMES ,OR NOT AT ALL ,ITS NOT WORTH THE HEARTACHE WE WILL LEAVE BEHIND ,GET MAD AT THE DRUG ,NOT THE ADDICT AND THE DAMM COUNTRY'S SUPPLYING IT ! OUR ENEMYS ARE WINNING ,IM SAYING MY PRAYERS ON A DAILY BASIS, AND I KEEP REAL CLOSE TO CLEAN PEOPLE ,MAINTAINING A SOBER / CLEAN LIFE IS Z WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD ,LOVE TO U ALL❤
❤to you as well
This is hard to fathom my head around this I pray very hard that something will be done to save our country 🙏
Good information Nice job
It’s sad that people want to live life this way..there is usually an underlying cause for addiction that have gone untreated. Children aren’t as resilient as people think because I would bet the majority of people addicted at this level have suffered abuse as children.. I know some people have nice lives and still get addicted but sometimes having a lot of money and no real love and guidance get involved in drugs because having nice things doesn’t mean that neglect isn’t hurtful. I feel sad for addicts...they can’t deal with life and getting sober then they struggle to deal with the shame I pray God helps these lost souls. There is no easy answer to these issues..it feels impossible to even make a dent in something like this but helping even just one person matters
We need to go back to the old school drugs. Back when the shit wasn't killing everyone. Pharmaceuticals are the problem
MAGA heroin!!! Lol! I love it.
Good stuff man.
Very informative 👏
It's interesting that the two freest states (South Dakota and Wyoming) don't have this problem. People like myself spend their time blowing shit up, shooting guns, building sketchy race cars, and riding dirt bikes. All of the things I mentioned are legal in those states, people have so much freedom that there's barely time to relax, let alone get started on drugs. The biggest issue here is government regulation. Wyoming exports over 35% of this country's clean burning coal, the people in my town earn 6 figures right out of highschool while enjoying an affordable cost of living. It's so easy to make it out here when the government allows its people to prosper under the liberty this country was founded upon. I moved to the city when I was young (Denver) and quickly moved back to my roots. If more people saw my part of the country their perception would quickly change. I love everyone in this country no matter what your views are and I hope you prosper in this beautiful life God has given us.
I think the US as a whole is morally lost. People from very old cultures have another kind of resilience because each person has a role and a value. The US ditched culture from the start of its conception.
They need to pin your comment
100 percent .
Misogyny is not it. The perfect combination of freedom for woman and enforcement of safety against drugs is possible.
Drug used is more complex than only the drug problem in itself. Most of this people have mental health problem (schizophrenia, adhd, bipolar, depression, ptsd). To help them you have to help with the drug problem but also with the mental health, poverty and others things. This is a really complex situation.
When I saw folks hunched over like that I wondered what was in that dope cause that nod looks different. My heart aches for every addict still suffering. I highly recommend the methadone program it saved my life.
Take the people off the streets and place them into drug rehab no choice just go there or jail.
Problem is funding. Then aftercare. Funding for that. Its all a mess.
Tell me you know nothing about addiction without telling me you know nothing about addiction.
@@TheReaper42069 💯
Impossible, the system would implode, not enough beds, cells, or workers, it's sooooo not that simple and that would never work, check out the little brain on anne-lisse 😂
It doesn’t work like that. They would go right back to using unless the addict WANTS to quit. I have known many addicts in my lifetime and until they want to get clean, truly… no amount of help will change them.
A government health warning to heroin/fentanyl addicts is completely useless.
Thank you Frank for everything you’ve been doing and continue to help these sad people out there in active addiction with the most serious mix of drugs ever on the street . This is a killer drug . God help these people. I blame our city for just never doing anything about this issue and it’s been going on for at least 7 years with the crazy shit in it and our police officers do nothing. They don’t arrest for dealing or using in public my own block has needles all over the place daily . Kensington has been working it’s way up to the Northeast section of Philadelphia. So sad . God Bless these people and thank you Frank ❤🙏

Ukraine is an ally fighting like hell to hold back a thieving sociopath ruling Russia from menacing our other allies. They can be helped. These people ? Beyond help
It's all over Massachusetts to I myself am unfortunately hooked on it. Shit is that worst withdrawal out there it's like a benzo detox on top of the fentanyl. Methadone and Suboxone doesn't do jack shit for it. I really hope anyone who has just started doing this shit gets off ASAP. I can't shoot it anymore it's literally cooked my veins burnt them out in 6 months. This is nothing like heroin or fentanyl it's horrible Im trying to get off of it i really hope i can but I've been fighting it for 17yrs i have a feeling the only way im going to stop is when im 6 feet under
Have you tried Kratom??
It really does work.
Kratom doesn't make the withdrawals go away but it makes it tolerable.
Yes your uncomfortable but you can do it. 3 days of discomfort...5 days of feeling better..7 days of dealing with being sober....after that your clear💙🤍🙏🏽
Prayers ❤
Probably
Has the DEA been defunded or something? How come there is no effort at stopping the manufacture and distribution of these deadly drugs? Why are the open air drug markets being allowed to operate? Providing free injection equipment and so called safe injection sites is absolutely the wrong approach to the scourge of drug addiction. Enabling addicts is not helping them.
They can't keep drugs out of maximum security prisons. How do you expect the DEA to stop it in the free world? It makes no sense. Addiction is a medical problem not a crime problem.
