How dangerous is medetomidine on its own?

I know that this drug is being added to other opioids and benzos which makes them more deadly, but how dangerous is medetomidine on its own? Let’s say medetomidine 10mg/kg.

i cannot find any Medetomidine xylazine alone users, its 100 percent just a contaminant of dope supply, i know its got the zombie tranq open wound thing as bad look but non injection use? i looked around for rec xylazine users and not seeing any. I'm not going to lie these drugs sound interesting on paper

It is an alduterant cutter typically mixed with Fent in my city. Its 100x or more stronger than xylazine, so 10mg/kg would kill you a thousand times over, but when they get the dose right ppl just fall asleep standing up off of a few micrograms. The Xylazine was making their limbs fall off so I guess this is better, but I feel bad for the poor souls chasing the dragon still. The W/D's from the tranq substances are apparently multiple times worse than opioids too.

I would like to know who the genius is that came up with the bright idea of even contaminating the fentanyl supply in the first place. Don't they know that it is highly dysphoric and nobody would even enjoy it? I just want an explanation I'm just curious what the justification would be
