Harm Reduction Xylazine Megathread - WARNING!!!! - Tranq Dope has contaminated much of the heroin/fentanyl on the East Coast USA

[glutitis]

A kind individual sent me this link. If anyone has info on how we can work towards eradicating xylazine that would be great. I agree with the poster above regarding the safest use being smoked. I know they are not the best but its better than nothing and I would use a test strip prior (for Xylazine) If you have multiple dealers, Complain if it comes up and go to someone else. Once they feel it in their pockets, I think things will change.

Is it me, doing stupid things and not getting it? What link is it, you are taking about.
AHH.... You're talking video. Got it.

I think, that you have good intentions but for me, if I was still using, and WD? I would totally inject, whatever there is. That's the bald reality.
But if there is a possibility, to save just one poor soul?
Let's go

I wanted to open a thread specifically to start conversation about Tranq Dope, as it has changed the landscape of the overdose epidemic and has rocketed it into a whole other plane of destruction. Not only will it kill you through overdose, but using it IV/IM will cause horrible side effects like scabs, sores, I mean it very literally eats your flesh away. Even using it nasally for a prolonged period will cause a lot of skin irritation eventually.

This is the next war in Harm Reduction. This stuff is killing generations and turning entire cities into Night of the Living Dead. I'm not exaggerating. It is an animal anesthetic. Not intended for human consumption at all.

But what can we do about it? Well first off, we should compile some information about the basics, and then next we need to look into harm reduction techniques and tactics. Figure out how to determine whether your drugs are contaminated with Xylazine. How to isolate it. These are things beyond my present knowledge, but my plan is to update this post with more information the more that we learn about the stuff. Please lend any knowledge or insight you have to this thread and help get the word out to the people that need it.

I've seen the sores first hand. These are the worst injection side effects I have ever seen, and I wasted years of my life injecting cocaine and methamphetamine. I'm talking about massive, permanent scars from a slight miss. Necrotic flesh that hardens over. It's fucked up. If you're a heroin user and this happens to you, please check into the ER as fast as you can.

I am blessed that I was able to get off of heroin a couple years ago, with only a one off relapse, but it was devastating and I woke up in the ICU. And I had a massive tolerance at the time. Last year, I lost the love of my life to an overdose. It destroyed me and I went into a year long downward spiral until I finally got sober from everything, it took weeks of detox. This shit out there is no longer heroin, it's not a joke and it's not playing. The Shrine is filled with beautiful humans gone too soon from this beast. I say all that to say, I don't want to see anymore friends or loved ones die. It hurts too much. I will always make myself available to support anyone here that needs help or just someone to talk to. Please reach out to someone, anyone... you have nothing to lose.

Wishing you all the best, and I hope everyone stays safe out there

Has anyone ever healed from internal xylazine wounds? I just got ahold of xylazine test strips the day before yesterday and my stimulant was positive for xylazine, and I've only been using about 2 to 3 months but I'm 99% certain it all had xylazine in it. I've missed many times and I've had pain and swelling and sharp pains growing in size not at the injection sights but on the same limb, or in the back of my neck, in that shoulder and that upper back. I'm very scared.

I never heard of internal wounds… I’ve been dealing with external wounds for months now,,,my plug went missing a few days last week so I went without drugs for two days and I went to a street spot one day last week and the wounds improved over the course of the 3-4 days but unfortunately he’s back around as of yesterday and the started acting up again….I just keep washing them and if they itch I just put a petroleum jelly on them and that’ll stop the itch,,none formed on the injection site they just pop up wherever,,,

Sorry if this has been answer but is tranq in west coast fentanyl at all?

Yes

 

[LucidSDreamr]

Yes

Fucking A that is so sad to hear.

Is it super common? Like basically all the dooe has it?

Do addicts even want the tranq?

I feel like a good way to nip this in the bud would be handing out xylazine test trips to “out” the dealers selling tranq dope and hopefully cost them business and ppl go to fent only dealers instead

 

[lolis my thesis]

My kid ODed and I had to cpr him Blow him up like a dummy while he deflated and was turning blue and grey on the floor while we waited on the paramedics. I had on hand 8mgs of narcan him and kept him alive most likely but it wasn't enough
He remained unreponsive and very dead seeming for the 15 minutes waiting on 911 to get an ambulance to our house.
This was unusual; I never have my son hanging with his friends here and I had a bad feeling about that night.

Here in Central Oregon I heard its in everything coming over from Portland
Now he's just got more bills from the ER and the fire dept; his mom did not provide the hospital with his insurance info....so
He's got warrants for drunk driving so Im waiting for him to go to jail; he goes out drinking/ gonna get lit up eventually thank god he doesnt drive. There were cops at the ER which made me think he was going down

But there is a good samaritan laws that protect OD victims/helpers from jail.
He's not even a fent user to my knowledge; didn;t go into WD or anything after the paramedics gave him extra 4mgsnarcan
Basically 8mgs isn't enough so the paramedics ascertained he had been given 8mgs by myself
got 4 mgs more from the paramedics after we were doing CPR on a corpse for about 15 minutes.
But I kept blowing into my boys lungs hoping he wasnt dead
Then he woke up like he was napping, wondering why everyone was hovering over him, bewildered and almost sober seeming.

Thank Im a methadone dude whose doc makes him hold narcan!
Made my addiction a fucking hero for the day

his eyes popped open when the paramedics gave him the 4mgs he needed and he was like" what are you guys all doing";
Then he handed me his wallet and gram of coke that sent him under, according to what I was told
For all I know he snorted some blue with his coke plug and was too ashamed to admit it

It was mothers day; I did not send the coke out for testing but I still could.
But what's the point; he's alive, cognizant that drugs can kill ya even cocaine

I see people frozen, wounds,open wounds, the solution to nip that in the bud is great,but honestly I feel dealers don't care at all,business or no business, I see a flood of new users arriving and mixing with the walking dead

 

[lolis my thesis]

My plug, for extra valium, or viagra lol, is mostly into meth and takes benzos just to come down
He likes to live the chem-sex life and amatuer porn is his freaky kink. Also a prison vet; when his girl lets him drive he complains that she wants him to get picked up driving would be long prison term as his license is revoked for life
His girls car has a kennel in it and usually he pulls up on a longboard, scooter, BMX bike.
My son went out one night and spun the pookie with said plug.
Luckily it was a one time thing for meth; he didnt like it but he sure will snort cocaine I think he has his buddies go first
At least he is educated about narcan and how to spot an overdose.
Plug heard Allen had fallen out.
He's a meth-head and into making porn and hates the tranq or fent or whatever
When my son told him he fell out
Meth head Felon Plug(MHFP) every towns got em.
Sometimes I meet him at his pad; which happens to back of a packed storage unit.
Anywat, MHPF said he ODed in similar fashion not once but three times
Almost scared him from the meth.....Almost? Nah

 

[lolis my thesis]

I like my methadone and benzos even though my doc is cutting me off the methadone; retiring anyway.
I take it for pain but will probably go to the clinic when I get sick
Treat my addiction with a much higher dose than my doc ever gave me for pain
Pretty sure Im a shoo in at the clinic as I have been to the ER twice for withdrawal
So I have OUD (opiate use disorder) on my charts. I am on ten mgs of methadone
Im on the fence of getting Suboxone from my primary guy
Or going to the clinic for the full agonist that Ive used for 20 plus years.
I dont know if the methadone helped me as dramatically as having narcan on hand
Almost seemed like a joke to have it cuz I know my dosages and never had an OD
Probably cuz I respected the power of methadone and the misery of withdrawal from
Pregabalin, 3mgs Clonazepam, 40mgs methadone
My son made me go to the ER cuz I was in agony asking him to kill me.
He couldnt sleep with my moaning and got pissed off by about 5 am and took me

If there’s no clean equally priced fent only supply even testing won’t help.

It angers me that drugs are just allowed to create worse and worse and not toxic iterations as the years go by and it just hurts the users so much more and creates a greater healthcare burden down the line if you have all these poisonings that don’t even have anything to do do with fentanyl per se

Hi, it is around the OP that I SWIMs stuff was mixed with Xylazine, but the only effect it had on me was that it would block out the Fentanyl high for me.

Now it's much scarier, a new Tranq that is 100x times stronger than Xylazine is in our stuff, all over NYC called Medetomidine. SWIM now has withdrawals from both, dried skin rashes and pigmentations on body, feels pain in his heart and has extreme short term memory problems now because the heart rate rapidly decreases, thus depriving the brain critical amounts of oxygen.

SWIM is considering going back to a Methadone Clinic, but it was very corrupt and prefers to avoid that (after 3 years of attendance, SWIM was still not allowed a 7 Day Vacation Bottles to live in a Monastery for 5 days (SWIM had this recorded and considered suing them, was belittled and insulted, Doctor saying "You want some spiritual journey, you can bring a letter from the Pope for all I care, I ain't giving you sh!t").

I digress, SWIM wants to detox at home from Medetomidine and is looking for any Supplements or Medication that may counter-act its effect, biggest being drowsiness, extreme fatigue, paleness, loss of appetite, and loss of desire to do anything (example: Opens a game, IVs a shot, then proceeds to just stare at the screen in a non-euphoric way for hours, waiting to receive energy or willpower to simply get up from his chair).

Any help would be appreciated while SWIM waits for a bed availability for Detox.
SWIM is certain it is a very strong Tranq due to 16 years of abuse of Oxycontin, Oxymorphone (Opana), Heroin, Fentanyl, Xylazine mixes in December 2023, but these new "Batches' are the most scared and worried that has made him in his life, and is LITERALLY dying DAY after DAY with basic Health Conditions worsening.

Sounds like when I stole some Melarill from a relative...I popped one and drank a 40oz...went to a garage band rehearsal and proceeded to sit on a extremely loud guitar amplifier for the next 6 hours without moving...was semi-concsious but simply could not find the willpower to move from that spot...took it a few more times without the beer..same result..would just sit in the same spot for numerous hours just zonked out...no euphoria, no high,just ozoned to the point of sitting, thinking, but no desire to move...literally stuck on stupid...found out later Melarill is a heavy psychiatric tranquilizer...

Ha! Yeah I sampled some melaril I "liberated" once back in high school. With a name like that, what could go wrong? Not good

Mexican tar is really gone? cause you cant cut that easily seems the logical solution. Or has it never hit the east coast?

I still rely on afghan in the Nederlands no fent here

I’ve never seen tar in the nyc area,,and when I lived in Phoenix during the 90,s I never seen powder heroin,,also copping in the streets tar was easily available out west,CO,NM,AZ,CA,going thru Chicago on a Greyhound I found powder just like in NY..

Fentanyl is easily mixed into tar at any stage,even a rock hard brick of tar can be softened up over heat and worked into it,that’s the easy way to break it up for street sales….

 

[MedicinalUser247]

Unless your in extreme pain and it's given to you by a doctor avoid Fentanyl at all costs. As for this Xylazine stuff added to what ever mix your getting it's really bad because it can eat away at your flesh.

 

[Str8Facts]

north jersey here..Tranq has been around for a while but over the past year coppin D it wud pop up say once a month and we just threw it away no big deal. Now over the past 2 months literally cant find ANY wiithout it.Went to every plug and its in ALL fckin tranq! hate the way Fent feels but got use to it since D is no longer possible but tranq is a whole new level of horrible! thought it was gunna be just a bad few weeks.. maybe some higher up plugs supply got fcked in some way and it would blow over but its not lookin good

That doesn't sound easy compared to cutting powder though..

P.S if you want safe opiates grow your own!

Its much easier to just hit the checkout button and have a lb of pods at my door in 3-4 days..
